We won't sell Nasri to you. We'll let him walk next year rather than do that.
Nasri To City - Done Deal!

So you'd rather him join us for nothing next summer than get £25m out of us?
There was a comparison on Sky between Nasri, Modric and Sneijder.
Basically, Nasri scored the most goals, did the least passes and did the most dribbles I think. Sneijder and Modric created most chances and competed more passes. Sneijder had low goalscoring and dribbling completion. Modric was an all-rounder really.
Yep because then it'll be a wages war you won't win. I still think we'll get at least a year's extension anywaySo you'd rather him join us for nothing next summer than get £25m out of us?
It'll be a wages war, but your side, with the lowest wage ceiling of anyone in the conversation, will get a year's extension.
Fine by me. £0m next year rather than £20m this year seems like a bit of a bargain.
If you can give him another years Premiership experience too that would be great.
Why would Nasri sign away another year of his career if he wants out? If there is to be an extension it'll be a 4-5 year contract not one year on top of his current one.
Face facts, you've got feck all say in the matter now. You can shoot yourselves in the foot by keeping an unsettled player and getting nothing for your trouble next summer or you can sell at a decent but not accurate value for him but at least give yourselves some further funds to play with.
If you'd rather do the former out of spite for United then you have well and truly joined the Bitters in existing only to obsess over and hate United.
Thats complete bollocks and more then a little bit hopeful from an Arsenal perspective.
Because he'll get a lot more money for a year?
Its of Arsenal's interest to sell him to the highest bidder this window, the idea of keeping him for another season only to lose him for free is a non-starter in my opinion.
he'll get a lot more money regardless
i think you've overlooked the fact that Man Citeh are your closest rivals and if any player with a clue would prefer to work under the greatest football manager of all time rather than take some Arab's short-term money
If his primary goal is money, he'll make as much closing out his current contract with you and playing next year at Citeh as he would in two years at £90K/week with you.
Wenger told that Nasri is desperate to leave Arsenal - Transfers, Football - The Independent
This article is in today's Independent, it seems the more reputable papers are really pushing the Nasri to United story over the last couple of days since he has returned from his holidays. Arsenal will surely do all they can to avoid selling to us (or any other English rival) so this one will most probably drag on unless Arsenal see it as a dead-end and are possibly keen to reinvest any money from the sale of Nasri. All conjecture at the moment however as to what will happen next.
Why do Arsenal fans think that there's a real bitter rivalry between the two clubs? I can't understand the logic that you don't mind selling players to City, a much nearer 'rival' in terms of quality and results, but you won't sell to us.
It's been amicable for years and, as much as it would hurt me to know a player of ours wanted to leave, selling him to Arsenal would be no more painful than Chelsea, Spurs, Villa, etc.

Arsenal fans are going through a rough time at the moment thats why. My best mate supports them and he has refused to discuss football openly the past four months. 
Yet you would sell to City who are more at your level.
PS saying they won't sell to us actually made me confident that he'll be United player in a few weeks time.
Remember Ashley Cole.
Have to agree.Yet you would sell to City who are more at your level.
Arsenal need top four - last thing they need is to bolster teams around them.
That's very harsh, especially as Cole aside, I'm struggling to think of a player they sold who went on to peak elsewhere.
anelka?
Stapleton moved and got a couple of FA cups.
I mean the drag-out affair. will this go down the same road?
Not really.
Flopped in Madrid, did OKish in Ligue 1 and Turkey, wasn't all that special for Liverpool or Shitty, till he regained his clinical proficiency at the mighty Bolton. Wenger would have turned him into a sensation had he stayed, but instead he did what he was always destined to do - sulk.
Yeh fair enough. Sylvinho or Viera then?
Bad example as he was a moody twat from what I understand - would be terrible for a dressing room. I don't know how Chelsea handle him to be honest. Credit to their management for that.
No fecking chance that Arsenal will let his contract run out, and even less chance he'll sign an extension. Not sure if pete is on a WUM but he definitely wants out and with a year remaining, keeping him for another season is pointless.
They don't have a leg to stand on in this saga, if he wants to leave then either they let him go or look like right cretins when they essentially lose £30m on a player that doesn't want to be there.
I thought he did an interview just a short while ago saying trophies were a priority over money? Surely why he keeps being linked to us constantly?
Everything is now pointing towards Nasri being a United player come the start of the season now, he wants to join us, we want him, contractually his current club don't really have any leverage
It may rumble on but I'm very confident now that he'll be a United player sooner or later

Sylvinho is a decent shout, but from what I remember he was more a backup player at Barca. Viera is debatable due to the injuries he was plagued with after leaving Arsenal.
I'd say Van Bronckhorst is probably a better example. Flamini hasn't done too badly with Milan recently either.
I haven't seen him spraying around 50 yard passes if that's what you mean. He is a very accurate, inventive passer over shorter distances though.
He would compliment Carrick or Fletcher nicely, or both. Dynamic, creative player, can definitely add something to our midfield.
they probably sell him to Shitty just to spite us off, and happily become their feeder club.
That's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. If nothing else, Arsenal are a business and £20+m is a more than a fair price for a declining value of an asset.
Although he wasn't sold.
Possibilty Arsenal do a Flamini again?
I think he'd compliment Carrick quite beautifully, in the same way Giggs does. Having players who can dribble through the middle is a rarity these days. He obviously brings the added dynamism that Giggs no longer has.
David Herd, left Arsenal for United for a large fee because he wanted to win trophies. Won nothing in 7 years at Arsenal, 2 leagues and an FA cup at United.
Nazza wouldn't be the first. Daveja vu.
