Nasri [Merged] continued.

[Daz_Blue]

Nasri will sign for City AFTER the Newcastle game. Arsenal won't want the distractioin of selling players before then.

And after Nasri, just two more to come...

Cerci and Eriksen ?

I still think the Ajax midfielder is on our radar ....

 

[Kippax.]

Where we are upto is terms have been agreed with Nasri, we are stumbling on the fee around 2 mill short, once that is sorted he will sign.

It will prob be sorted by end of play today I would think.

ps, that is a round up of all the newspapers, hints, snippets and all the other shit that has been posted before anybody starts asking for links, shortcuts and sources.

Sorry didn't realise my post count was an indication of my intelligence.

If you would prefer I could stick to posting GIFs and formations looks like that is the only type of crap on here that doesn't get any stick.

A question was asked and I replied and then gave my opinion on the matter, apologies but I thought that was what a transfer FORUM (An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.) was about.

and yet no proof.......

 

[Andouble]

I reckon it's a done deal but it makes sense to not sign Nasri until Wednesday, that we he's not cup tied for us in CL and only misses the Swansea game.

how does that make it LESS likely for him to be cup tied?

because he is suspended for his first European game, no matter who he plays for. What Murph is trying to say is let him miss Udinese for Arsenal rather than potentially Barcelona for us.

my understanding of the situation is that the valuation gap between the 2 parties is a lot more than £2M, more like £10M

Would love to know who your source is,if thats true !!!

I do not have "a source" as such (unlike a lot of the supposedly well connected folk on here), I just know a journo and he speaks to other journos and that is what he has been led to believe - basically City do not want to go over £20M and Arsenal do not want to accept less than £30M; whether this is true or not I do not have a clue, it is just what he believes and may explain why the saga is dragging on

think he means banned for our first CL game. If he wouldn't be available for the Swansea game anyway, it makes some sense, however, Mancini may prefer to just get him in and settled ASAP.

Suppose if all the agreements were there and they just didn't bother to register it till after Arsenal's game, Nasri can get on with moving his life to Manchester ready for Wednesday and we get him for the CL game. With us playing on Monday, Mancini wouldn't want to be distracted by Nasri's arrival then and I assume the team won't be training on Tuesday, so it's possible, if Arsenal play ball.

I assume we are haggling and why wouldn't we. Nasri has 1 year left on his contract, has made it clear he wants to leave Arsenal, by all accounts he wants to come to us and it doesn't look like there is any other club in for him. They aren't really in a strong position to piss us about.

Nowhere did he mention it was fact. He said 'think' and that it was a round up of everything being posted here and elsewhere. If you can only post facts that you have proof for, I suggest they shut this site down, as it'll be like the Mary Celeste by the end of the day.

I assume we will get him, just not maybe as quickly as some assume - as you say they are most likely haggling, and haggling takes time
