Daniel Taylor in response to the following on Twitter about an hour ago.

@DTguardian Will be interesting 3 weeks. Who's left 2 come in do u think? Nasri, Cerci & squad player? Or a big signing in lieu of squaddie?

@MattSavage7 couldn't be sure to be honest, but Nasri pretty close now, can't get rid of players because of wages, Bridge 90k, SWP 60k etc

Ffs Bridge and RSC just aren't going to leave are they. Not that I can blame them, it's not like Bridge could go somewhere for 50/60k a year to play football. A player of his ability you're talking 20k a week max. The stench of Hughes lingers on ;)

Surely Cerci is that squad player?

Nah I reckon it must be Sneijder.

Sorry if already posted...

Just heard that Samir Nasri will sign for Manchester City tomorrow

Don't shoot the messenger

so u saying we can agree a fee with arsenal,agree contract with nasri and do the medical all in one day

Sure it's already been mentioned, but 5 Live said earlier they understood a fee of between £22m & £24m has been agreed. If true, I'd be surprised if a contract's not already agreed in principal with his agent, just leaving a medical.

With Arsenal due to play this weekend, they either field loads of questions about him and decide whether to play him or not, or just get rid now and move on. Sounds like they may be about to finally see sense.

not long to wait now blues till nasri graces the etihad turf!! city have been trying hard for a number of weeks (i haven t read this in the papers, i have been pm ing a mod on here about it for a while)

city wanted him before the swans game and there were a lot of difficulties I am told. Arsenal and the board had to be seen to bring players in and save face etc! etc!

there should be an announcement soon! Rejoice! haven t heard about a medical as yet in case anyone asks

I may be old and grey but do I remember us being offered Nasri for £2M when Stuart Pearce was manager - or have I imagined that?! Stuart didn't think a punt because of his age at the time?

Surely you mean Walcott when Wigley was at Soton?

Or was that another fuck up

Arsenal want a sell-on fee included in the deal, do they think Nasri is a youth player or something? (Source: The Times)

Arse have opened talks over Jadson from Shakhtar, he and Mata seem like their main choices for replacements, but also Hazard and Valbuena on Whinger's radar.
