Nasris best position is where we have a certain Wayne Rooney, someone whos considerably better than him.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Would anyone really be upset if we bought him?
Well of course people wont be 'upset' thats a silly way of putting it, im sure different people would have different feelings, me personally i dont see where he fits in, do you want him out wide ahead of Nani or Valencia in the way we play? for me no, do you want him behind the striker relegating one of Rooney or Hernandez? again for me no, from my recollection hes never played in a 2 man centre midfield and its clearly not his best position so hes no paul scholes replacement either.
I just dont see where he fits in hence why i dont really see the point.

Six-week Samir. Looks unplayable for a spell, then goes into hiding.
Pretty much the same way Ashley young is supposed to fit in, in the squad game he is very versatile and when you play 60 games a season and have injuries he'd be a top class addition to the depth of our attacking positions.
His style of play does remind me to the way giggs plays when on the left wing in the latter part of his career. Starting wide but playing in midfield. Kind of what Silva does for city.
If he is being signed to perform that role that it would be spot on for me. I certainly don't see his as the central midfielder i think we need
No reason to get defensive, mate, I don't judge. Let he who hasn't had gay sex in filthy public restrooms on numerous occasions cast the first stone.

Wilshire for me if we are to nab a player from that mediocre side

Wilshire is another level entirely. Hype is hype, but injury permitting, he's going to be a great player.
Me too, Wilshire or Fabregas are the only players i would want from Arsenal.
I'd still take Ramsey.
He will come good next season
I would take him over Modric every single time. Just thought i should let you lot know
I wouldn't.
Would much rather see Nasri here than Young.
I agree...modric>nasri
Would much rather see Young here than Nasri.
feck sakes people. Agent created link to united as part of contract negotiations. Move on and waste your time in another thread.
Would much rather see nobody than Young or Nasri.
But like the entire Arse squad has question marks over his mental stregnth....Could SAF make a man out of such a monumental ponce?
I don't rate Nasri that highly. And I'd worry about his mentality having spent key formative years at Arsenal...
Theres no doubt that Nasri is a very talented player, I'm sure SAF will work things around and bring out the best of Nasri if he was playing for us...
At least he'd have a proper back four behind his back and have proper goal scorers to feed into...

Don't know where he'll fit in so...no.
5 page thread on a transfer that simply will not happen.
Why waste the time even thinking about it?

Nasri tore England a new arsehole playing CM for France, technically on the ball he's on another level, just needs to toughen up mentally.. and we're probably the only club who could make that happen. Has the ability to run games and score goals, not to mention play on the wings.. superior player to Young imo.
Really can't see this happening.
Nasri can play the very same role Giggs currently plays for us in midfield. He has done it for Arsenal in some games to rather good effect.
Evra's a Muppet 
Matt Spiro:
Evra sends cryptic message to Nasri: 'little prince, if you want to become a king, you know where you have to go.'
More Evra: 'If Nasri comes he needs to know u're not allowed to make mistakes here. We play to win. Every year u have guarantee of a trophy'

Where are those quotes from? If they're true and our players are openly talking about it, it could mean that there's something in these rumours.Evra's a Muppet

He's a terrific midfielder of outstanding quality who would have little problem establishing himself in our first team. It would be an incredible singing for us but it is pretty unlikely, even considering he has only 12 months to run on his contract.
Surely Arsenal couldn't afford to turn down a substantial offer, especially with only 12 months left on his deal.
Must be worth a punt at £16m or something.

"I think so yes," he said when asked if he could switch to defensive midfield.
"In any case, I am more at ease in the middle. I have more influence on the game. Even if it isn't up to me to do the dirty work, I feel capable of doing it

£16m for a player going into the last year of his deal would be hugely excessive, I don't see the club considering that to be money well spent.
Nasri at 16mil would be a stunning deal IMO
True, but that's the sort of money you'd need to get a player of his quality from a domestic rival - even with 1 year left on his contract.
That said, I'd have no qualms about the club spending £16m on him, he's fecking class. Modric would cost us over £30m, as would Sneijder.
Or wait a year and get him for free. If the player wanted to come and forced his own transfer, making it clear he'd only sign for United, he'd go for considerably less than £16m.
I should add here, that if the club did think £16m was worth paying then fine, it doesn't matter a jot to me how much we pay for X player, I just have trouble seeing the club think it's a good deal.

If Young is worth £15M in his last year of contract then Nasri is easily worth that IMO.
That's a fecking massive 'if'.
