Nasri

So Wenger seems prepared to hold onto Nasri despite the possibility he will leave on a free at the end of the season.

Would Arsenal's interests not be bettered served flogging him now to a team outside the Premier League?

I guess it depends on how keen Nasri is to stay in the Premier League as he has every right to run down his contract and refuse to sign for a team in Europe this summer.

If it was a simple choice of selling to a European team now or holding on to Nasri while he continues to refuse to sign a new contract then I personally would like to see him sold as soon as possible and use that money to get a quality replacement.

No team outisde of Europe is going to pay more than 10-12m for him, if we are going to sell him it can only be to United or City.

Hello My Name Is Vermaelen I take it you mean outside the premier league?

I don't think that would necessarily be the case, there are other similar Nasri esque situations going on at the minute within clubs on the continent with European clubs reported to have bid 12 mill or more.

I don't think we would have any problem flogging Nasri for between 12-15 mill which is much better than a slap on the face next summer with him joining United on a free.

In wenger's case he prefers to keep Nasri, I think he wants to let him go but not to city who are the only team that are going to pay the price we want. Clubs other than city are not stupid and know Nasri isn't even worth 15m if he had 4 years on his contract.

looks like Aw is willing to keep him and see how it plays out...

personally i'd sell him to the highest bidder (obviously if he agrees) and move on and use the 20+ mil to but Mata or Hazard

but I have a feeling AW will keep hold of him and he wil lbe free next summer..... its a gamble alright.

Come on that is a ridiculous statement, I know he has upset a lot of gooners but that simply is not true.

Wenger spent close to that on him a few years ago and he has improved significantly since then.

If Wenger was willing to pay close to that a few yrs ago and Ferguson is willing to pay a reported 20 mill now then I think it's safe to say he is worth more than 15 mill if he 4 or more years on his contract

I want Nasri to stay. Simply because he looks good in the new away kit.
