Nasri To City - Done Deal!

It's a big if, but if he were to come to United, I'm absolutely convinced he'd take his game to the next level. That's a frigtening prospect imo.
 
L'Equipe reporting that he has failed to reach an agreement with the Arse.
 
L'Equipe is usually quite accurate too. I genuinely get the feeling he wants to join United.

Probably bid for him tomorrow I reckon. Between 11am and 4pm.
 
Listen to Lance Bryan ffs Like L'Equipe, L'Ance is RESPECTED. R-E-S-P-T-E-C-T-E-D-C-T-E-D.
 
I was very skeptical about this rumor.But i'm beginning to believe this could happen.

The papers have a habit of recycling stories though don't they.

It's been reported for weeks now that he has failed to reach an agreement on a £90k a week deal.

Failure to reach an agreement is different to talks breaking down..
 
Even if he decides to leave Arsenal, it won't be for us. They will try to ship him abroad, even for a lower price and he will no doubt attract plenty of interest across Europe. If he stays in England, Chelsea and City will probably be able to offer better terms than us and we are probably the last team Wenger would be willing to sell him to.
 
He could refuse to move abroad however and simply come to us free in January.

Well, no I mean January, you could tie up the deal almost completely because there would be virtually nothing on his contract and even a semi decent offer - say £8-10 million would force Arsenals hand even more so than what we're going to see in the coming week or so.

Just like Ashley Young did eh?

failed is past tense ie no more negotiations. Prior to that there was still negotiations you'd imagine. There would have to be. With the rumour of a transfer request it'd make sense but it's all speculation anyway.

You said "on a free", a semi decent fee is still not a free transfer.

If Chelsea and/or City are serious about getting him then we have no chance anyway.

Well, he could sign for free in January but move in the summer. Perhaps the phrasing was a little wrong, but you could probably buy out the remainder of his contract in January for so little that'd it be as close to free as you get in football.

What why haven't we? We're Manchester United and who the feck are they?

What does Ashley Young have to do with Nasri? I really don't understand.

Young rejected an offer from City late on and signed for us.

Although I saw your last post, and noticed your a pessimist idiot like Sarni so I'm not wasting my time on you.

Why us? Chelsea are also title battlers and are their city rivals. City also finished above them and are potential title battlers. If it comes down to United and those two, there's no real reason not to sell to United in particular.

With a year to go on his contract, it's very much up to the player.

Leave it man, they're the biggest idiots on the Caf right now, they post in every transfer thread just to express how we won't be able to compete with Citeh and Chelsea.

He seems extremely pedantic too. He needs working on.

As I said it's been reported for weeks now that he has failed to reach an agreement so it's nothing new.

One of them would allow him to stay in London, the other one can also offer CL football and astronomical wages. That we're Manchester United means a lot to you and me but I'm afraid it won't play a big part in Nasri's decision.

Any evidence of that? I haven't heard even a rumour. Liverpool were supposed to be our main rivals for Young.

Do you reckon? Even though Nasri has publicly mentioned United in this saga. While City have distanced themselves and Chelsea have other priorities.

Nasri has been asked about United because at that time we were the only ones linked with him. He hasn't come up with the name on his own.
 
For what its worth I've never been more confident of a rumour coming to be, I really believe he'll be a Red before this time next week.

We can offer him the same wages City will offer him. Just because City can offer him 900,000 a week doesn't mean they will do. The 90,000 touted that he wants is not a big wage in todays football unfortunately and we are more than capable of offering that.

Who says he wants to stay in London? We can offer him CL football and the wages he wants. People say this all the time and it's tiresome, 'City can offer astronomical wages' astronomical wages is like 300k a week. They will not offer Nasri astronomical wages. They will offer Nasri the wages he wants which Manchester United are more than capable of offering him.

It's quite simple really, move to City, Chelsea or the over and over again champions and win trophies and get paid well. Why do people act like we can only offer our players 50p a week.
 
IF (and admittedly it's a big IF) what John Cross is reporting is true I don't think Fergie would submit a bid to Arsenal unless he had assurances via Nasri's people that he is only interested in joining us.

But the other two points? He wants more money yes, he also wants trophies. Only one team in this country can provide the best mixture of both. That's United. The team he wanted to know whether the interest was concrete from - when this information was concrete he's suddenly failed to agree terms with Arsenal.

Logical line of deduction for most people - He's going to United or he's going to stay there (Unlikely, making the first more likely).

Logical line of deducation for you - He's going to city or Chelsea because they are rich. (Both of which are being linked because the Papers love a sensation.)

I deduce - You're a shit Sherlock Holmes.

City can offer him 150k or 170k a week just to feck with us; we wouldn't match that. Nasri might think City are on the verge of a breakthrough after winning their first trophy last season. That's not certain but that City can offer him bigger wages is definitely true.

Well, it's not sure he wants to stay in London but if he's given the chance to do so, it's probably tempting. And he's got a very good chance of trophies with Chelsea as well.

You'll probably make this same 'joke' again tomorrow I reckon. Between 5pm and 9pm.

I used to say 11 and 2. I'd predict a time when you'd cheer up but from 'now to eternity' probably wouldn't be long enough.

Your starting premise is wrong. Nasri was linked to United by L'Equipe; he was asked about this rumour; he basically said "we'll see" - this was AFTER Wenger admitted they had failed to agree a new deal with Nasri. There's no more evidence of our interest than that of Chelsea and City: that is, the papers say we are interested.

You just want to believe that our interest is real and Chelsea's and City's interest is bullshit, only reported because the papers love a sensation. I might be a shit Sherlock Holmes but you my friend are a perfect transfer muppet.

So when Wenger mentioned us he just thought he'd name United because you know he likes saying our name or something?

It's not that I think Chelsea or Cities interest isn't real, it's that Chelsea are publicly after Modric and City have distanced themselves. If anything United haven't distanced ourselves or mentioned it, indicating in true United fashion that it's on the cards. You also fail to recognize that L'Equipe out of all the papers making up rumours are much better than our rags and don't need to mention United to sell papers in France.

You act as if it's only ever Chelsea and City who get the player they want, remember Berbatov much?

City can offer him 400k a week, but they won't. They won't offer him 170k a week either. Just because they can doesn't mean they will.

Why is it probably tempting? He moved from France to London, it's not as if living in one place is high on his list of priorities. If he wants to stay in London then surely that removes City from the equation, if he is happy with City then that removes your theory of London football from the equation.

You're looking at way too many possibles and using possibles as a way of definitely ruling out a transfer to United.

We have as much chance as anyone, we can offer the money he wants and the trophies he wants.
