It makes sense signing him after Wednesday so he's free from his Euro ban. I don't think he'll start against Notlob though, it's more likely he'll be eased in & start from the bench. That's assuming he signs!!!!munster said:I don't think there's any doubt that Nasri will sign this week. Wenger wouldn't have left him out yesterday if there were. I think it'll be straight after Arsenal's Udinese game, so ridding Nasri of his one game Euro ban. He'll start for us a week today vs Trotters.
N-Word-Joe said:For Nasri to serve his suspension in the champions league with Arsenel i assume he has to be named in their squad for the champions league and then not feature?
I wouldn't put it past Arsenel to try and delivery a bit of a slap in the face by not including him in the squad - thus leaving him to serve his ban with US and delaying the signing.
just a hunch, im not even sure if the 1st part of my statement is correct, just hypothesizing really.

Even if he signs today he can't play Monday and we don't play again until Sunday, so it would actually make sense if we signed if after Arsenal's game, so that he won't be suspended for our first CL game, which he may be needed if God forbid Silva or Yaya is injured.richards30 said:What does it matter if he is suspended or not???

Don't expect him to sign today mate, just laugh at all these theories about not signing him until his ban is over etc?!!! Think nasri and Mancini would be happier with a swift conclusion to this now, oh and me too!!! :-)pudge said:Even if he signs today he can't play Monday and we don't play again until Sunday, so it would actually make sense if we signed if after Arsenal's game, so that he won't be suspended for our first CL game, which he may be needed if God forbid Silva or Yaya is injured.richards30 said:What does it matter if he is suspended or not???
