Like I say If he refuses to sign they will to their very best to sell him now. And that wont be to us. I am sure it would not be hard to get Real or Inter interested in him for a cut price £15Mill
The point is we rotate, a lot, the more quality options we have the better, Nasri would be a quality option.
Young players will get their chance if they're good enough, just like the twins and even Hernandez did last year.
But that's the strength of the position he is in I suppose. If he really wants to come to us, then all he has to do is reject the other clubs. There is no way he would be allowed to run down his contract, so we would get an offer accepted eventually.
I don't think he does exclusively want to come to us regardless, and is just fishing for his bumper contract or will go to whichever club will pay him the most (probably City.)
That huge 2 page wonder, you must be proud Ev.
I measure the success of my threads by their content rather than their quantity. Strictly speaking that thread was a failure on both counts.

That's not what I meant.
If he refused other offers from abroad that is the choice Wenger would be faced with.
I don't think Real or Barcelona need him, even the biggest clubs don't buy players just for the sake of it.
Cole was determined to go to Chelsea, in the end....
It's in the players hands this one, especially as he's just 6 months away from being able to sign a pre-contract with another club.
Ultimately the player decides his destination in the modern game.
Gabriel Heinze?
Very VERY different.
Heinze had more time running on his contract and would've had to wait a LONG time before being in Nasri's position. I can guarantee you that if Heinze had a year left and we got a 20m offer from the scousers, he'd have been sold to them.
Heinze problem was that we held the cards and he'd alienated himself to United fans by coming out publicly and saying that he wanted to join our closest rivals, even taking us to court. Once the courts told him to feck off he had one option, MOVE ABROAD.
I was 13 or 14 at that time, fair to say I didn't keep a check on the transfer speculation at that time.
Wow he'll be worse then the black plague then.
The EPL season is long and we will be competing on all fronts. That will require good strength in depth. Petrucci and Morrison will also need a year or two on loan before they can seriously compete for a place in the first team.
ha ha, fair point.
Think SAF mentioned it in his book too, was close to coming off from all accounts.
Age is no excuse!
I am surprised people have yet to ask if he is capable of playing in a 2 man midfield.
Go back a few pages and ye shall find ...
I don't think he can.
Very rare people are born as a transfer muppet like you mate!
I liked the Ian Woan part. Am a bit worried that you are obsessed with Ian Woan though.
Yeah I was young too but how can anyone forget the annual Viera rumours
Stupid article.
According to today's Corriere dello Sport, Milan want him. If that's true (which is far from certain, Italian papers print all sort of bullshit during the mercato) we might as well forget about him as Arsenal will pounce on the chance to flog him abroad.
He doesn't fit into Milan's transfer strategy. He's way too young.
Not if he decides he wants to stay in England and play for us.
I'd imagine the player has been sounded out before we'd show our hand with a bid.
There always going to offer him out to foreign clubs if he can't agree a new contract. The only difference is there not Arsenal's rivals and they will refuse to cough up the £20m we are reporting-ling going to bid. Which still gives us the upper hand.
Exactly. It then boils down to whether Arsenal would rather get 13-15 m or less from Milan or 20m from us. I'd be happy to see us part with 25m for a player of Nasri's quality even with only a year left on his contract. With the other prices being banded around it's still a steal for a player of that ability.
I'd imagine if we were to lodge an official bid for him, we'd do so with some kind of assurance from Nasri/his advisors that he's intent on coming here. I doubt we'd make an offer to a rival who'd want to do business the least with us unless we were certain the player in question wanted to join us.
Anyway, an offer hasn't been made yet so all this is hypothetical speculation until that may or may not materialise.

This is true, some people grow into greatness, others are just born with it.
If we get him I'm spaffing.
He's quality.
He's quality.
Heard Shitty are now sniffing around, can't they do their own scouting and stop chasing other club targets!!!
This is my dream signing (being realistic by excluding Messi, Ronaldo etc). Wouldnt say no to signing Modric in addition either 
It boils down to whether the player would want to join Milan.
Where does it actually say he wants to join us?
Only asking...
Only asking...
Well, I'm basing my opinion on the assumption that he's not desperate to stay in England.
