Samir "The Weasel" Nasri - The Epitome of Wenger's Failings!!!

[budesonide]

We need players that want to wear the shirt and fight for the club. Wilshere, RvP, Chesney, Vermaelen and Theo in my opinion are those players currently at the club..

And those number of players will keep dwindling as long as we don't look like winning anything and keep imploding each season.

Again, the reason why i blame Wenger for letting this weasel run down hs contract is because we can no longer get top dollar for him, i dont care if he goes, he's replaceable, but lets get top money for him, we do this buy making sure he has enough years on his contract so we always have the upper hand.

he signed a 4 year contract so we could've offered a new one after a year of averageness which wouldve been silly. after another year of average performances his worth wouldve been between 10 and the 13 we paid. as soon as he kicked in and upped his game the club wanted to award that. its hard to see what couldve been done differently

Simple after 2 years offer a new contract thus making sure his resale value stays high if he does go. We paid decent money for him and if we lost him now we wouldn't get that back. Considering how stingy we are with money that isn't a good thing, the more money we hold onto the more likely we are to spend some of it.

his performance level at the time didnt warrant a higher fee than we paid for him and the price touted now is around 10 mill, pretty much what we wouldve got if he had continued in the same vein. there wasnt much to say he was going to come out the blocks as he did

no but it is wise to proactively protect an asset you value.

what you are saying then is that, if we had decided to sell him then, he would have gone for cheap -- I don't think so.

[Kano]

i think he would've gone for between 10-13 based on his performances for two years, which is around the mark he'd go for now. even with a new contract two years ago as performance dictates value and his hadn't increased it. look at it this way, most fans agree he is replaceable now and thats after really beginning to show what hes about so that definitely wouldve been the case two years ago

I think that, when alls said and done, Nasri won't be joining ManUSA. I say that boldly, and you can quote me on it if (and it won't) the day comes that Nasri signs for the Salford Scum.

Vieira flirted with the idea of joining Manchester United in the summer of 2001 when for all the world it looked like he was a goner. Ferguson was practically squirting at the chance of signing Paddy even though there had been no formal discussions. However, not only did Wenger stop Vieira going oop norf, but he also kept him at Arsenal for a few more seasons.

If Nasri is going to leave and he does want to join Manchester United, Wenger will do something similar to what he did with Anelka. Let ManUre do all the forerunning (in Anelka's case it was Lazio) and let the next highest bidder come in to snap him up for while Wenger still harbours ambitions of us competing with the Mancs, there's no way we'd sell our best assets to 'em.

Err, wasn't that exactly what happened? I seem to recall the reports about his contract started at the start of last season, which was the start of his 3rd season at Arsenal.

....Skysports.com understands Manchester United have stepped up their interest in Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri.

Speculation has intimated Nasri is on United's radar and skysports.com has now learnt he is the club's top target.

The talented French schemer's reluctance to engage in contract talks with Arsenal until he is satisfied their transfer targets are of the required standard to mount a title push next season has alerted Sir Alex Ferguson to his possible availability.

Despite being close to wrapping up a deal for Blackburn defender Phil Jones and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David de Gea, amid widespread speculation Aston Villa's Ashley Young is also heading for Old Trafford, Ferguson's appetite for new signings has yet to be sated.

Nasri is seen as an ideal replacement for the retired Paul Scholes, with the centre of the field an area United's management are keen to revamp with fresh talent.

Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder has been linked but Nasri, with just a season left on his existing deal, could be a more realistic deal to finance.

Arsene Wenger would be loath to lose one of key men, especially given Nasri's exit would likely lead to other members of his squad questioning their own futures.

However, United are now ready to test Arsenal's resolve to keep a player who has previously intimated he would be open to the prospect of moving to Manchester.

whats the next move? - Utd are taking it to the others this summer
