That just isn't true anymore though. City are a big player now. You could certainly make an argument that City are a better career move than Arsenal in terms of money and success.Kweh said:
He could still pick City over United and it be seen as a fair choice. City and well enough placed to win things and why not collect an extra 60k a week.

Haha! You just can't say that anymore. Maybe 6 months, a year ago..you could. Or maybe if he was leaving a team winning things. Arsenal are not, they're about to lose their best player, won't pay the guy best placed to fill his void in the team what we wants and haven't addressed the issues in the team for a few years.Messi said:
Tbh, not only can you not blame Nasri for wanting to leave, it actually makes alot of sense. And that's what's got to be most worrying for Arsenal fans.
Anyway, SSN reported it in such a concrete way and tbh I think him actually leaving is still a long way away.

Why doesn't the u17 Gio start? Is the coach stupid?
farhatraza said:
I agree, SSN saying now that both manchester clubs are interested. Acting as if it was something new to find out united were in for nasri aswell. Expect this to be the new cesc saga after he leaves. Wenger saying no major deals are going to happen until towards the end of july.
Think it might be a bad summer for arsenal fans. Atleast they look like signing Gervinho (I think)DominoKid said:

Because they grow their own talent as well. Plus they bought Robben when no one wanted him, and they stuck with Ribery when any other club would've ran him out of town.

The lack of accuracy in this u-17 team is infuriating at times.

Midfield loves to shoot any chance they get.
Fierro looks dangerous everytime he has the ball, but is still selfish.
Casillas not starting... lulwut?

Potro Gutiérrez is clearly from the school of Javier Aguirre. "I'm gonna keep my best man on the bench for a +3 bonus on surprise attack!"

As of this post, Fergie has ordered Man U to get Nasri.
Clichey to leave if City secure £90,000 weekly.
I'd be sweating if I was a gunners fan. This summer will either leave them with a sigh of relief or a pair of soiled pants. Who will replace Nasri, Gael AND Cesc?
Zibrahim said:
Nasri could be doing all this to get a wage rise, ala rooney. but if all 3 leave, arsenal are going to find it hard to qualify for the champions league. thye have gibbs for clichy, not as good though. Nasri would be replaceable if their interest in mata is true and they get him. Fabregas isn't replaceable unless they buy someone like modric or sneider which is really unlikely.
read that United representatives met with nasri's reps, but his agent wasn't there so not sure what was going on.
K1LLER7 said:
Considering the position Arsenal could be in if they lose Nasri, I reckon Mata would go to Barca or Liverpool before heading to Arsenal.
I don't know what's going on either. But Man U have a habit of getting the players they want with little to no problems. If Fergie says he wants Nasri, I really, really doubt they won't get him by summer's end.

lol I would love Arsenal to be serious contenders again. We'll know which direction they're headed by tomorrow. Barca releases their statement on Cesc and Sanchez and I'll stop with the negativity.

Couldn't agree more. United especially.
Also thanks. I quite like this avatar too.
Only Fabregas' departure would hurt Arsenal.
Let's be realistic regarding Nasri. The guy had a good start to last season but is way to inconsistent and not all that good. Definitely easily replaceable, as is Clichy whose performances over the past 2 seasons clearly show that his heart just isn't in it. Both players should be moved on as they are not acting in the best interests of the club.
The main thing holding Arsenal back is that Wenger refuses to pay top dollar for players. He wants everyone on the cheap and life just doesn't work like that. I would love for Mata to come to Arsenal but it won't happen. As an Arsenal fan I've come to accept that we have a manager who is more concerned about his own reputation and list of players that he has developed that he prioritizes his own desires over the needs of the club and it will cost him every one of his stars to eventually leave. I am off the opinion that Wenger cannot take Arsenal any further forward and until he is replaced Arsenal's glory days are over.

Denilson is staying at Arsenal. This is getting painful to watch.

Lets be honest. The tournament has been pretty friendly towards mexico, and they have not have won a single game in a convincing fashion. They've faced Congo, North Korea, and Panama....... and barely won vs Netherlands. They have some talent in the midfield, but they lack the firepower, and their defense is hit and miss. In my opinion, they'll get destroyed by France.

I hope I'm overreacting but this summer feels like I'm slowly watching my house burn to the ground.

Heh, well, prepare to be sucked down a time-vortex that knows no end. It won't matter that you turn up to work or school half-awake--no slight or insult will breach your calm satisfaction--when you've brought Championship Team X back into the PL and placed them at the zenith of European football.
