Nasri To City - Done Deal!

Er, no thanks. I'd rather we spunk that kind of money elsewhere. If we have it, of course.

The whole premise of us going after Nasri is the fact that we could get him for a significantly lower amount than his actual value. But if we have to pay the same amount which we would otherwise, whats the point? Because firstly signing an AM is not exactly priority right now, what with Young's impending arrival as well. Never mind the fact that Nasri goes missing for long periods in a season as well. He's a very good player and young, plenty of room for improvement but I'd only go for him if the amount made some sense. 30 million is just too much for even him in his last year of contract.

I think he's class, as good as Modric or Sneijder, and they're all worth 30million. Who cares how many years he has left on his contract.

They play in different positions though, which matters a lot, though I dont agree with that statement of yours but nevertheless he's not a quintessential Central mid which is more of a priority now given that we're on the verge of signing what you would call an AM in Young.

Erm, I think that matters a lot clearly and is a deal maker or deal breaker in negotiations depending upon the time left on the said contract.
 
I just cannot see it happening at all but £15 million would be great deal and a better one IMO than Modric at more than double the price.
 
Since when did Sky become quoteless, baseless muppet feeders? I used to rely on Sky for accurate reports but these notorious 'Sky sources' are getting a bit unreliable.

Well, he plays for Arsenal and they won't sell him unless they have to, especially to us. A huge offer would probably force their hand and we'd get a top class creative midfielder (imo if Modric and Sneijder can play in a midfield 2, so can Nasri).

I personally wouldn't care if we had to pay big to get him, even if he only has a year left. We'd be getting a 30M (or sth) player for 30M.

Since the Benzema saga. They used some baseless quotes from a site somewhere in outer west mongolia saying that he was going to United.

For a few years now. They simply aren't reliable these days. They revel in speculation and gossip, a lot of which comes to absolutely nothing.
 
Lads my source in outer west mongolia says this is a done deal!!!

I remember that actually. I remember texting the article to a load of mates saying how delighted I was. Got my fair share of jip for that blunder and Sky are at fault.

I guess they would get most of their shit from The Times & The Sun.

"Nasri to United you say?"

Yes...I saw an Eagle clutching a snake this morning, while bathing in a bucket of ice outside my hut.

"feck me, done deal then. Have you told sky?"

Yes, I set smoke signals off earlier.

:lol:
 
Christ, now Nasri is as good as Modric and Sneijder? Dream on...

Nasri would be a class signing, but let's not get all RAWK. He's not on their level, at least not yet.

Nasri isn't at Modric's level? you're basing this on WHAT exactly?

For the first half of the season Nasri was above Modric's level.

:nono: Eagle clutching a snake would be Cubo Torres. Since that's on the Mexican flag and all.

Holy shit :wenger:

Perhaps he's not on Sneijder's level yet although he's definitely a better dribbler. But leave the Modric rubbish out

Nasri on the same level as Modric. He's a better attacking midfielder, Modric is a better central midfielder.. but then again we haven't seen Nasri play central midfield for a large run of games.
 
How is Nasri not as good as Modric? What has Modric actually done to receive all this adulation he seems to get on this site? Nasri's record, albeit for a slightly better team, is better than Modric's. To say that Nasri being as good as Modric is a "dream" is crazy. One could argue for either case.
 
My post was aimed more towards Sneijder, although it probably didn't come across that way. I do think Modric is slightly better also, but Nasri is certainly not on Sneijder's level.

Exactly. That post was a wee bit retarded tbf.
 
Modric is a deep lying playmaker. More a passer like the Scholes of 07-11. Nasri doesn't play that position at all. The comparison is a weird one.
 
So anyone able to answer my question or is everybody just talking out of their arses?

I think his best football was when he took up Fabregas' position in the team, he's obviously a good winger too but "the Fabregas role" is where he does his best work imo.

Sure Sdeijder is better, but Nasri is younger and already proven to be well suited to the PL. If someone offered us both and we chose Nasri, I would not be too upset.

It's not going to happen obviously, but Nasri is a super little player.

I think he has played in that position plenty of times for Arsenal. Some say it's his best position.

It really wasn't. Nasri or Modric is debatable, but I think Modric edges it. That part is subjective. As far as Sneijder goes, Nasri isn't near his level. Sneijder is one of the best in the world. End of.

I agree completely. I would strongly disagree with us choosing Nasri over Sneijder (if that were to happen), but there you go.

Yep but you included Modric, no-one argued about the Sneijder part. So yes, it was a wee bit retarded.

That's because I rate Modric higher. I already stated my post probably wasn't worded properly. Saying it was a retarded statement is a bit ironic considering the absolute dross that you post.

He was for a season and a world cup, then last season he wasnt very good at all

True, but I don't think Nasri is capable of producing the form Sneijder can. The latter was superb before last season.
