I'm still undecided on Nasri I'll be honest.
Just wait and see. £20m.. We will make a bid. It will be up to Nasri. I don't see him choosing City over United.
What was actually said? Because all I can see is that they're close to signing Clichy but are interested in Nasri
WTF is going on people!!!!?????
What for? They already have David Silva who, in my opinion, is better than Nasri, and they've also got Touré Yaya, who, in my opinion, has worked better with Silva than Nasri could in theory.
They've also got plenty of other midfielders.

He's called Blair. He doesn't need evidence to believe something.

£180k a week is a lot of money to turn down though. I cant see us offering anywhere near that.
But yeah, picking United over City is a no brainer if the wage offers are similar.
Calm down.
Agreed - but perhaps their strategy is not only to strengthen their side but make also sure that we don't strengthen ours..
This does make sense.
Well, if that's the case then we souldn't worry too much, Fergie will pull something out and they'll end up with massive ego-fights and lack of regularity in their team, not to mention a problem in midfield. Real Madrid Mk II.
No-one has signed him. Just some over excited muppets who think that if a club is interested in a player it automatically means they get to buy them.What, what? Who signed Nasri?
Hypothetical question, but if this turns into a bidding war and it takes 25-30 million for Nasri to sign with only one year of his contract remaining. Yay or nay?
You might not think Silva is better than Nasri, that's why I said it's my opinion. Not laughable unless you haven't seen them play.
What if Fergie's real target is someone else...
Sky Sports News - #MUFC lining up their own Nasri bid in reaction to news #MCFC close to signing him.
I'm not. I don't want the little fairy here, as I have said since we were first linked with him.
I still believe he will stay at Arse, anyway.
17:04 Sky Sports News has just brought us some transfer news "to get the pulses racing" (their words, not mine). Their shoutiest presenter has claimed that Manchester City are closing in on a deal worth £20million to sign Samir Nasri, the Arsenal midfielder who's been continuously linked with United in this blog and in What The Papers Say. Our 'noisy neighbours' have been quiet in the transfer market so far this summer - is this all about to change? Let's see what tomorrow, 1 July - the date when players can officially begin to move clubs - brings us.
In all seriousness, Nasri would be a very good signing for us but if we missed out, its an opportunity for other players.
We can't arrogantly dismiss City as a small club that players would only go to for the money anymore. They are in the Champion's League just like we are, and are possibly as likely as we are to win the league as we are with all our squad upheaval.
While they will offer money and a "project" to develop the club, clearly we are more established as a European force and an Historically great club. Plus we can can hope that Evra will work some magic on him.
We also have a reputation for playing attacking football, where as at City they play a more defensive game.
Who knows where he'll end up, but both are legitimate choices for him.
Can't wait to see the club's statement if Nasri goes. It'll be a gem.
If Arsenal loose Fabregas AND Nasri, Wenger has a lot of explaining to do.
Also I reckon pete's 10 year plan (which was a 5 year plan last season) will soon become a 20 year plan.
