[Master Splinter]

Nasri would be fantastic playing the Cesc role.

He hasn't proved it so far. In fact, he's been a bit shit playing there. Only versus Porto, when he scored the wonder goal, did he ever give a masterclass performance in that position. He doesn't have Fabregas, Wilshere or Ramsey's eye for a pass in that role. Even Song is better in that area. Nasri's best position is where Wenger has played him for most of his Arsenal career. He can utilise his dribbling, pace and shooting on the wing most effectively. His hogging of the ball for too long leads nowhere when he's playing centrally. It's a myth that Nasri can play successfully as a playmaker. At least so far.

He was majestic for Marseille though

[AKBapologist]

Moves the ball around too slowly. Could play as a false 9 at best centrally.

Denilson would have looked majestic too .

No,Denilson is shite and will always be shite at any other club, space and time

If Spuds get Samba Wouldn't mind Mertesacker here. Excellent CB

Yeah apart from the fact giant barges have been known to turn quicker than him.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

shit lets just get Samba.......

I'm sick of being The Spuds scouting service.....weren't we interested in Modric/Van der Vaart to name a couple......shit I seem to remember Bale being linked with us too -　I suppose one thing to their credit, at least they stick their neck out and buy the fuckers.......we on the other hand would rather sit down, with a nice cuppa and watch the world go by

(fuck did I just say all that.......last week I was saying how chilled out we should be......somebody must have switched the air conditioner off!)

No we were never interested in VDV, don't think we were interested in Modric either.

As for Bale, a lot of clubs were apparently after him.

If Spurs got Samba it would simply due to our unwillingness to pay the asking price and make our move quickly, it's not anyone else's fault we can't complete transfers quickly and spend months haggling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SSN say Wenger says Cesc and Nasri will stay this season. We've also signed Gervinho, apparently.

beg to differ bout Van der Vaart - there were stories about his sick wife and Arsenal being a club touted with showing an interest but its water under a bridge now.....but I agree about only having ourselves to blame if we miss out - surely Spurs have enough CBs?
