Nasri [Merged] continued.

Fair enough. all Im gonna say is he's coming for the money and paying 180k to someone like Nasri is just madness.

Did you read the 180k in a paper? Our board must have told them...Or maybe it was Nasri that was bragging about his new found riches to the world? Which one is it? You tell me, Gooney.

Exactly. What a load of tosh. Gooney will be sitting at the bottom of the league come Sunday.

 

[Arsene]

Which ever way you look at it wenger and arsenal have come out of this looking stupid and weak. Wenger said the deal was looking unlikely and he was playing him in cl. Mancini says fine play him and we won't sign him.

Nasri now refuses to travel and play and or wenger backs down. Makes it look like he is not in control of the team and the players and other clubs are calling the shots.

Macini says we want to sign him soon as don't play him in a crucial game as we want him for the champions league ourselves. The player and or wenger comply. I can't imagine arsenal fans are happy with Mancini making such important decisions for them in a make or break game ?

He never said i will play him. he said the deal was not close on saturday....for all we know city and the agents were very far away on saturday. the question he was asked is if a deal wasnt done by wednsday would you hesitate and he said absolutely not. It could be a way to put pressure on the two parties to agree and arsenal get the money now and have few days to look for a replacement, rather than the deal being dragged on to the last day. Arsenal knows he's not gonna sign and have to sell him, and City knows he's just coming to them, so it could be that city and the agents are waiting to see who blinks first as they have to 31st of august and Arsenal saying if you dont agree we will play him, which will force both parties to make a deal now

Im sure ts just said he is NOT traveling to the cl match.

 

[BlueMark]

Why do Arsenal have to face any face? They have been clear that they wanted to keep the player, he refused to sign a new contract and they decided to sell him. The fee was agreed few days ago and most reports says his agent suddenly demanded 3 million. Now if things have suddenly worked out. There's only two things that could happen. City gave the agent ultimatum to forget the 3 million or City agreed to pay the agent what he wanted. To me the latter sounds more plausible as nothing we have seen indicates he's desperate to come to City

I would suggest he is far more desperate to come to us than stay with Wenger's U21 side.

What is happening at Arsenal is criminal really. If i was an Arsenal fan being asked to pay the kind of prices you lot do i would be fucking seriously pissed off right now.

Fair enough. all Im gonna say is he's coming for the money and paying 180k to someone like Nasri is just madness. When you pay stupid money like that, the problem you gonna have is getting rid of these players later on. The likes of Bellamy, bridge, Adebayor and Santa Cruz aint going anywhere cause no one will match their current wages. jo went on loan to brazil and I doubt his team can afford paying his wages, so its more likely that its similar to bellamy loan deal. When you have this much money....you will attract all sorts of mercenaries

You are right to a certain degree fella (i.e. having to pay big money to attract players), however as I have mentioned in other response to one of your other incorrect posts we are now in a different position and do not need to pjust pay the highest salary to get the player.

Also, do not believe all you read in the papers, there is no way we are paying him £180k per week.

When is this plane taking off?

 

[alera]

All I am saying is that arsenal have become our feeder club and Mancini is effectively dictating your team selection in your biggest game in years.

Really it is sad to see how far arsenal have fallen, it's incredible to think that by this weekend you could be out of the champions league and have only 1 point from your first 3 games.

FYI jo did not go on loan it's a permanent deal and we are not paying any of his wages there was even a fee involved we are led to believe. He was signed pre sheik takeover days so his wages were not that high at all.

It is quite amusing that Arsenal fans cannot see that currently City are a better proposition on all sorts of levels than their own club. I know it must be hard for them to accept but if they really think that Nasri is only coming for the money then they really need to take a reality check. I reckon they could match the wages we are offering and Nasri would still be off like a shot.

They must think that £1500 a year for a season ticket still makes them one of the big boys ;-)

Was it Gooney or arsene?

Ffs - waken up to reality- they are coming to City to win trophies as well. You two, Merson, sky sports, the sun, the times, the mirror and most of the rag loving plastics all over England and the rest of the world are going to have TO GET USED TOO IT. Some of us on here have wsited forty-odd years for this. You have had your day get over it. I am sick and tired of the shit MCFC gets on a daily basis. Ends
