Cesc and Clichy can go but Keep Nasri

Im not too concerned about Cesc and Clichy going but it would be an absolute disaster if Nasri leaves. Its very clear that Cesc wants to move to Barcelona and so if Barcelona pay up than id be more than happy with Cesc moving on. Clichy has been a great servant to the club and the time is right for him to move on. The Nasri situation is completely different though, it would be a farce and disaster if Nasri left. Hes only been at Arsenal for 3 years and has just had is breakthrough season.

A player whos worked so hard over the last 3 years and has a brilliant season what do we go and do sell him to a rival. Wenger has to fight tooth and nail to keep Nasri but the other 2 i woudnt be too dissapointed if they left.

My name is Vermaelen

Let's hear what you do then if you are telling yourself the truth. Most of us wouldn't like to face the truth. Cesc wants to go. that is clear crystal clear. We can't hold on a player with no desire to stay and play. Only option we have at hand is to try to keep Nasri what he is. You can't stop Cesc from going. believe me!

I have a feeling that the Cesc deal is now more or less agreed, however like most would prefer if he stayed.

That said you can hardly blame Cesc for wanting to join Barca.

Nasri played well for 3 months now? I thought it was 6 months before? Ridiculous. He was your best player last season when both RVP/Cesc were injured. He ran the show.

Yet you reserve criticism for Cesc who lets face it, his mind has been somewhere else for a good two years now.

You need to pay big money now to win things. Giving Nasri an extra 10k is not gna bankrupt Arsenal. It will ensure you keep your best player and give you a better chance of winning things.

Sorry. Best player is a bit strong. He's an influential player. Selling him for the sake of an extra 10k he wanted will be detrimental to your team.

Oh yeah let's keep the greedy nasri who wants over 100k for just playing well for 3 months and sell cesc who is on 90k a week and plays his heart out week in week out for arsenal.
---------------------

Lets not pretend Cesc doesn't want to go. Yea he doesn't want to leave for monetary reasons but he still wants to leave

Nasri wants more money and it is a bit sickening to us fans as we would pay to the club to play, but that is football today. We can't fight it, so the club either stand their ground and let him go or wake up and realise if we our to keep our best players we have to pay like the rest.

It hurts me to say it but money talks in football these days.

Mr Chelsea

I would like to believe that the contract negotiations have not stalled solely due to 10k, rather than a lack of ambition (from Nasri’s perspective) in recruiting new players.

However I would not be surprised.

What would Stuart Pearce do.

No offence but signing Gervinho doesnt exactly send shivers down anyones spine does it?

I know Arsenal have a good business model which everyone wants to emulate but why not just for one summer, spend some of this "money" which Arsenal always say is there on some steller world class seasoned professionals who might be the difference between you challenging properly for the league or the annual self implosion you suffer year in year out.

Im assuming you're an Arsenal fan?

Mr Chelsea

Yip, agree.

We have £50m sitting in our club accounts classed as “other” plus a cash reserve of around £130m. While the reserve is unlikely to be used on player recruitment I feel that the squad needs some much needed experience.
