what exactly is regular reserve team football? Most kids only play half a season or get loaned out these days...infact lots of reserve kids play in something called the carling cup and that's not after they've been on loan. What you fail to remember is academy and reserve football is basically the same. You play against kids at both levels (reserves 9.9/10) so a season in reserve football is overrated. What does it give you? Sod all thats what. Thats why teams loan players out or play them in inferior competitions.

not because of who he was but who he played for - ever heard of Cantona, Ronaldo?
the things that Gerrard and Shearer got away with would've been front page news had they played for United
First Evra, now Rio - both within a week. We're definitely interested.
Yeah Rio said the quotes were old.
I don't think that twitter quote is actually from Rio, the spelling is suspiciously good.
Rio's said his comments weren't recent at all though.
I still don't think there's anything in this, it just seems too unlikely to me.
Oh it's his alright. The Grammar is wrong!
To be honest apart from maybe Fletcher and the midfieldish defenders (the da Silvas and O'Shea, maybe DeLaet at a strech), there's no central midfielder left that does that at the club.
Well maybe Pogba.
Carrick has played deeper than Fletcher for ages now. Never understood why people still see Fletcher as the more defensive of the two.

Shit source, but it really is easy to write BS stories about City's transfer dealings. Just say they're after whoever United are after.

Pogba is hardly a defensive midfielder - sure he can put himself about, but he's best on the ball and driving forward. Good shot on him, nice footwork, and not a bad pass - play him as an anchorman and you'd be hideously misusing him

How is that "playing down" anything?
Let's get our man...
Best value on the market in my book
Feck me, insomnias a killer

How much would he cost us and do we really need him?
We definitely need a central midfielder. He will cost us around £15m because he is in his last year of contract but there is absolutely no fecking chance of him coming to United.
Unless he pushes for the move himself. If Nasri is bound and determined to force a move to United, there's very little Arsenal can do about it. We've seen it time and time again. Players, especially the more high profile ones, hold the whip hand.
I agree Wes, pound for pound he definitely represents the best value.
If the talk of Fabregas leaving is true then Wenger really needs to be going all out to keep Nasri. Losing both of them in the same summer would be huge.
and hilarious.
Wenger has already said that Nasri will "definitely not" be sold to United and yet the Metro still stick us in their headline.
Metro is worse than caughtoffside and tribal and that's going some.
Fergie also said he wouldn't sell Madrid a virus. And Florentino Pérez said they wouldn't go for Beckham.
I don't think Nasri will come here but managers and chairmen often talk out of their arse.
Probably a load of nonsense... but if the Nasri deal comes off, topped with Young, Jones & de Gea then i'll be a very, very happy red

i would be satisfied with this window if these are the four lads that we bring in.
provided we don't sell nani.

I love how putting a "#" makes me believe its more credible! Im not lying, i actually generally believe it makes it more credible more often then not, and its silly cus any idiot can do it
where is that from.
twitter ITKs are idiots. the young bit was on SSN. I am certain we wont sign Nasri
surely not

It's starting to pick up all over the place on twitter again...
Maybe it's because he's viewed as second best at Arsenal or the fact that they play with 3 in midfield week in week out but I'm not sure Nasri is the answer tbh.
Good player and will improve the squad but can he step up and be the main man in a 2 man midfield for us? I have doubts.
Now him and another in the Modric, Sniejder mould

Incidently SSN showed fans buying the new Arsenal shirt from their club shop and one fan is convinced that Nasri is joining us...
Apparently a Daily Mirror journo has said that about Nasri
Says it all really
Says it all really
My cock is out.
I'd quite like Nasri to join us, I think he is real quality and could do a good job for us.
Ahhhhhhhh the arrogance of youth! I remember a certani frenchman signing for us in 92, the season after he had won one of our bitterest rivals the title....snatching it from us at the death......yet there is "absolutely no fecking chance of him coming to United".............
Maybe we're getting no joy with Modric and Sneijder, so we're going all-out for Nasri?
