Noooo wayy...lets just jump to the conclusion that hes a money grabbing weasel who is trying to bend the club over the barrel. Funny enough the thread was started by the same guy who was saying Nasri was a waste a year ago.
If anyone has followed Nasri even through his younger days they will see that he has always been humble and respectful. Sure he is confident in himself, you have to be at this level.This BS about him going where the money is, is just that. Will he use Uniteds interest as a bargaining chip? Will he compare his wages to other top players in and around the league? Of course he fucking will, this is what happens to all players who have their contracts expiring.
Lets just wait and see what happens. Im leaning more to the side stated in Selasse's post. A few of our former greats also made comments about wanting Arsene Tightass to spend (TH14, Freddie etc...) its not so far fetched as some want to think.
As you mentioned me I thought it only right that I respond accordingly.
Firstly i don't care if he is sold, personally I would rather him gone as I see him to be a fair weather player we could do without. When the going gets tough, Nasri gets going - 2 seasons on the bounce, hence why I posted the Nasri thread a year ago about him being overrated, if you check the date it was posted and then reference that date with this season you will notice he went missing around about the same time - when we needed him.
Secondly, you mention how anyone that has watched him since he was young should know how humble and respectful he is??? Do me a favour mate..come on.. really??
Thirdly, how you can say that it's BS that he's not about the money in one sentence, then in the sentence after the next talk about how all footballers in the last year of their contract are going to want to see what the other players in the league are earning just makes me chuckle. (read that back to yourself and you'll see where i'm coming from). Wenger flat out said he is stalling because of money. The lack of class he is showing by mentioning Manure, whether it's to be used a bargaining chip or not, I couldnt give a toss, the guy doesnt deserve to be a top earner at the club, beacause he's not proven that he can do it over a full season or when it's crunch time (like RvP showed for the last 10 games of the season).
Finally, i blame wenger also, it's his doing that this powder puff has my club in this position with this fairy openly flirting with one of our biggest rivals, it's bad enough we've got that other cunt Diaby talking about the Spuds shirt he proudly wears, and then you talk about if you know anything about Nasri it's the respect he shows - lol
I expect better from you Mr Lahey
I agree openly talking about the United interest is stupid on his part. However Ill still hold on to the idea that he's not only after the money. Will he get the most while he can, of course! Every football player does and will, this isnt headline news that some are making it out to be. When players in any sport are renegotiating their contracts they present to the club what they could get from elsewhere and also highlight the wages other players in the same talent bracket make. This is fact. Im arguing that alot of people are dismissing other points that can be included in this equation, highlighting the fact that Nasri wants to win and wants Wenger to improve the team first before he resigns. A few of our star players have taken this stance in the past like i mention. He is not a "weasel" nor is he " bending the club over the barrel" like some suggest. Money, trophies, future direction of the club are all things considered in his decision. To take Wenger's word that it is about money is laughable. I wont take anything that old geezer says seriously these days.
Like i said, we should wait and see what happens before we go making silly assumptions about a player who can very well be in an Arsenal shirt next season.
Fair enough, I can accept that, but I do think it about the money on this occasion. Would he accept the original wage offer if we were to bring in Benzema, Hazard, Cahil and Samba and show some real intent? I dont think he would, he is holding out for more money period, his people can spin it all they want, Wenger has said that the only problem with his deal is financial.
Fair enough Newguy, lets wait to see what happens. Ill fully admit if im wrong and if I am , my personal opinion of Samir will most certainly change.
This is no fun, you have to argue back you're gonna kill the thread lol
Were you against Adebayor when he was in a similar situation? Or were you for him to be given another chance?
I am just asking and not being sarcastic.. I just remember 99% of GW being against him except Ach and a couple others.. I just want to see if Nasri is going to be held in the same standards or will it be different
I couldnt wait to get him out the club tbh, I feel the same about Nasri now. It seems to happen with us more than any other top 4 club, but players have 1 good season (nasri had 3 good months) and they want the money that the big boys are on. With Ade he wanted Henry money, Nasri allegedly wants Cesc money.
I hope Nasri is shown the same treatment as any other player that shows a lack of respect towards the club and the supporters - actually i hope he doesnt get that treatment because I hope we sell him, I dont even care if he goes to united as long as we get 16million for him as a bare minimum.
