You can fall out of love...
And things can change, that was 3 years ago.

I don't blame him one bit. If he is missing out on trophies then the least Arsenal could do is pay him a handsome amount of money. If not then why wouldn't he want to leave where he can have the money and the medals, good luck to him i say.
I wouldn't say so. Yes City won Prem, but no thanks to Nasri or Clichy.
where did I say you couldn't?
No need to get snippy
You were the one that drew instant conclusions from a quote.
Turns out he hadn't informed the club he was going to announce it. Seriously c**tish move and clearly one that was made with the view of forcing a move away from the club ASAP. Lost a heap of respect for him.
I dont mind at all him leaving, but I have problem with his statement. He lowered his valuation and I think made impossible to get even 20m from him. Generally players loyal to club which they respect want that club to get good amount of money when they leave and not pennies.
His valuation was low anyway as he only had one year left on his contract. If nothing was said at all you would have ended up getting much less for him in January or absolutely nothing for him next summer.
Before he announced this we could of forced offers around the 20mill mark if he informed the club behind closed doors of his decision. Instead he decides to announce to the world that he is for sale now or pick him up for nothing next season and if we do sell him now clubs aren't going to put up massive offers like they might of.His valuation was low anyway as he only had one year left on his contract.

Because he is an employee of the club? I'm not saying it would of stayed behind closed doors but to not even let the club know of your decision before making the announcement is not right at all. For someone who claims to love the club and all the other PR rubbish that was in the statement you would of thought he might of shown at least a little respect to the club that has had a considerable say in the player he has become.Why should he have to inform the club behind doors? He is looking at his future not Arsenal's now and in this day and age nothing stays behind closed doors. And if you sell him this summer i still believe you will get 20mill for him.

I just can't agree, he wanted Arsenal to show him how much they wanted him and its quite obvious they won't break the bank for him. He is thinking of his next venture not his past.
