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

[ElusiveGooner]

Either Wenger values Nasri and pays up, or he doesn't and gets rid. Either way he should grow some balls and make a god damn decision!

The actual final decision isn't such a problem (I couldn't care less - Nasri has already shown that he is nothing but a mercenary). The indecision that Wenger is showing is much more telling.

I don't think it's necessarily caving in as such. It's important to weigh up the value of the player to the team and who might potentially take him from you as well. United broke the bank to keep Rooney who in turn proved his worth at the business end of the season, it was a gamble but one well worth taking because of his quality and status within the team.

If there is any truth in this alleged 20k extra that Nasri wants then relatively speaking it's hardly worth taking the high ground over.

Yup, it's about weighing up your investment, if we don't pay him what he wants now our only other options would be selling him for a few million quid less than what we paid for him (due to him having 1 year left on his contract) or the unthinkable would be losing him for nothing next summer.

You mean 20k a week.

Sure

I don't like Nasri. Seems like a scumbag.

But in his defence, he probably left his boyhood club to win trophies. Just reading his first interview.

He wanted to join Arsenal because we play great football and all the French players want to join Arsenal. He believed that if this team stuck together for 3 - 4 years we could achieve things. What's changed all that?

Maybe it's the money or maybe he realises everything isn't rosy over here. Maybe with so many players wanting to leave he thinks he should jump ship. Clichy won;t sign, Cesc is looking to Barca, will RVP sign an extension after he stalled on talks a while back, will Arshavin sign an extension....?

20K a week is a million pounds a year. Not a small amount of money.

We earn 800k for winning a single CL group game.

Expect the nego will drag until the last few days of transfer window. Nasri's agent is a well known ****, he will milk the club and milk it again, again, again..

Very true, but that has to help cover the cost of everything involved with that game.

However, the question that Arsenal (Wenger et al.) have to answer is whether the extra million pounds a year for Nasri will "guarantee" participation in the CL group stages such that the 800,000 winning bonus can be gained? Plus, what impact will that increase for Nasri have on the whole pay structure?

Isn't Nasri banned in Europe for a match or two?

[Ollie the Optimist]

we shouldnt pay him what he wants because he is holding the club to ransom and the club needs to show him who is boss. i think nasri will have a very interesting reaction from the fans this year. the high wages paid to cesc and henry are not comparable here, one is our leading goalscorer and the other is our captain who has been 8 years or so and been a regular starter since 2005. nasri has done fuck all, cesc has at least won something here.

Maybe he got fed up with that shite ass song about him.

Killed a classic song that did
