I hope you aren't saying that you would swap Komany and Nige for Nasri? lol

No way Jose! IMO an unbalanced trade.
We have capable holding midfielders in Barry, Milner, Zabaleta and Yaya
Since AW needs a player like de Jong why not a straight exchange de Jong for Nasri then.
The lesser of the 2 evils. No?

Arsenal legend earmarks £18m Manchester City Midfield Enforcer as "Ideal Signing"
----------------------------------------------
Lee Dixon has singled out Nigel de Jong as the perfect man to solve Arsene Wenger's trophy drought, recommending the robust Dutchman in his column for the i paper.
"One player I would like to see come in (for Arsenal) is Nigel de Jong," Dixon stated in his article, which was published yesterday morning, hours prior to the Gunners' 0-0 draw with Newcastle in the opening round of the Premiership season.
"He is supposed to be having contractual issues at City and would be the ideal signing."
"He is the type of experienced player that Arsenal's young squad needs - although his wages may be an issue - and would help to solve a major problem. They have to defend better as a unit, especially when winning the ball back."
Dixon, who played in 458 league matches for Arsenal between 1998 and 2002, would have been encouraged by Arsenal's defensive display at St James' park yesterday.
However, a lack of muscle in the middle of midfield meant that Newcastle, driven by a typically industrious performance by Joey Barton, were able to extinguish Arsenal's attacks with relative ease.
Since arriving from Hanover in January 2009 for a fee of £18 million, de Jong has asserted himself in English football with some very strong performances.
Having appeared in 40 matches across all competitions last season, he clearly rated by Roberto Mancini, though, and would be a tough man to prise away from Eastlands.
With 54 caps for the Netherlands, including an appearance in the final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup final, he has the sort of nous that would be very welcome at The Emirates.
