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

I see the increasingly aggravating Lee Dixon is behind the inspiration for this ridiculous thread........
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.

Absolute zero chance Nige leaves City and if he did, it would not be too Arsenal. He will get his contract.

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?
mmm, i'll give you this one but thats it.

Very much so.
An agent provocateur and/or a rag mesquerading as one of us.
I'm sure that this must be a joke.
NDJ came from Hamburg not Hannover - shite newspapers as usual

Well i have been here 3 months or so and never read something that even i can guarantee wont happen.
If either Komps or Nige were sold i think there would be some sort of biblical appocalypse in Manchester.
Unless they themselves wanted to leave we will never sell them sure as day turns to night.
I thought Dixon is a city fan, i like you Lee but button it please.
