I heard something along those lines too, but also came across reports that Forest are interested in Nunes. Could that potentially pave the way for a deal? I'm not even sure if Nunes wants to leave City—I doubt he does. Honestly, I don't know how much of this is true—whether MGW(is going to Arsenal) or staying at Forest or if Forest genuinely want Nunes or both, just rumours I heard on podcasts.

What? Are you of the opinion that i got that wrong?You thought Zinchenko was going to be a great left back. You fought his case just as hard as you fight for Nunes.
Remind me again what's happened to his career?
City sold him, can't get a game for arsenal, because he's a fucking liability.
He started for City and went on to start for Arsenal. 2 top teams. He is the 10th most expensive left back sold of all time.
You make it sound like he went on to obscurity in the Championship. He became the very thing i claimed he'd become. A fantastic inverted left back in a possession based team. He isn't getting a game at Arsenal now because a better version of himself ( i.e a more athletic technical midfielder who switched to left back to get playing time) took his spot.
He is the prototype to the Skelly and O'Reilly's of the world.
In fairness, he was 2.0. Delph was the original prototype. And i called that one too before we signed him. You can check the archives :)
In fairness, he is in obscurity at the moment. He will have to leave Arsenal to get first team footballWhat? Are you of the opinion that i got that wrong?

Really don't want a bidding war over him that gets to 100m. Good player, but not a great one in my opinion
The art is to get into a bidding war but then lose it.

If he only wants City, then there won’t be a bidding war. He can make it clear to Forest that City is his sole preference. And if they try to make things difficult, he could simply threaten to run down his contract. With just two years left, now is the ideal time for them to sell — his value will drop significantly by next summer.
There are already reports suggesting City may be trying to distance themselves from the deal if the price gets too high. Whatever happens, happens. If he ends up at Arsenal, so be it — it's not a loss for us. We’re still here, God’s very own, and we’ll sign the right players at the right price. And as always, we’ll keep doing what we do best!

The source is whack, no way arsenal is spending 100 milion when they still have odegaard and they are desperate for a striker and a left winger rather than a AM.

He's still going to be a rip off but not a chance he goes for £100m unless united get involved.
Nunes had probably been one of our best players this season playing in a position which is totally alien to him as was zinchenko .What? Are you of the opinion that i got that wrong?

Got to admit gibbs white wouldn’t be my first choice but he’s still a good player and I will give him my support if we sign him .
No more than a squad player for me.

No he's not. He's filled in at RB for the second half of the season. He's given foul throws away, misplaced passes, basic stuff. He's been okay and done a job - he's not been one of our best playersNunes had probably been one of our best players this season playing in a position which is totally alien to him as was zinchenko .

Very unlikely Arsenal would drop 100m on him when they’re fucking desperate for a top striker.
