The Arsenal Thread

[ajt09]

The latest is that Nasri is apparently set to stay following breakdown in talks with City, as ajt09 mentioned above.

Any info to why the talks broke down?

No idea as of now, but my best guess is that Arsenal and City couldn't agree a transfer fee. Pretty sure it couldn't have been personal terms since City would pretty much have met anything Nasri demanded. Either way, based on today's performance and the general lack of creativity since Fabregas's departure, Wenger definitely needs to sign.

definately. Each day that passes the more it's going to unsettle the fans. Only 10 days left too.

No doubt Jamie's crying with happiness and busy writing up a long 'Fuuuck yeah' style post.

feel so sorry for the fans who paid to see that. that's what they get after copping a 6.5% ticket price rise.

Actually that price rise was largely swallowed by inflation, as with dozen other clubs who increased their ticket prices

Squillaci ‘not in Wenger’s plans’ for the season | Gooner Talk

Best. News. Ever. Well maybe second to a couple of new player that would be nice. But not far off.

Begs the question why Bartley was let go on loan so early in the season.

But to pay Higher price than any club in europe and watch average team, have to feel sorry for them too..

Christ how ridiculous. Agent fees-as if they don't get paid enough as it is. Absolutely stupid.

Wonder how Madrista will take this news lol

Yeah only small part about it, nevertheless covered it.

So is it deal is complicated or deal is off now?

Re Nasri today; actually thought he played well, stand out for Arsenal along with Vermalaen. Decent reception for him.

 

[Calum]

I am 50-50 on Nasri

If he stays we have a brill player for the season and he might sign a new contract

if he goes we get 25 M for a player with 12 months left on his contract

Unknown, complicated at the time, might well have moved to being off.
