===========================================

are you really that hard up though that you can't spend 20m nasri or not??

We can use him how we want, I personally would leave him on the bench. Wilshere is likely to play so I want to see a midfield of Song - Ramsey - Wilshere. They worked well in pre-season.

dont let that idiot mancini get his way........arsene must play him.

if he stays and then we win a couple of trophies, plus the board decide to sanction a new expensive contract, he might sign another contract for us

Apparently

if fit,if on the plane,if head right ( unlike modric ) he'll play.....

i think naming him on the bench still cup ties him btw...not sure though, anyone know better?

i would sell him, just because i reckon there is next to no chance he will sign a contract when he can triple his wages at city.

if he's on the bench he's not cup tied.

I personally don't care if he is cup-tied, it is not our problem. Put him on the bench in case of an emergency.

its funny isnt it how Big Headed City have become now they have a Sugar Daddy,because it was not so long ago they were fighting Relagation, i wonder if all those good players they have bought would have give them a second Glance including Big Teeth a couple of years ago,and its the same with the Chavs,Football is a Funny old Game

i hope he plays, just to see the smug sneer disappear from mankini's face.

in all seriousness, he is still our player and we should use him how we wish. playing him could lead to two possible scenarios: one, playing him puts the mercs off the scent, his presence on the pitch offers us the creativity that arshavin and ramsey haven't provided thus far, and he helps us qualify, meaning that we'll have champions' league football to offer new recruits, which could in turn persuade nasri to perform a u-turn.

or alternatively, he plays, reluctantly, because he thinks his big-money move is being jeopardised, his influence is minimal, we crash out, nobody wants to join us and he spends the season 'nursing an injury' while waiting for his contract to run out.

"he spends the season 'nursing an injury' while waiting for his contract to run out."

And is absolutely crap by next summer, meaning he has to wait for an offer from West Brom.

i think if he won't be cup tied, bench him. if losing, throw him on.

could lead to the farce of him refusing to take the field though!

i'd love a camera on mankini and the arab's faces though if he was subbed on...

I would play him just to irritate Man City.

@ Phil Jones, if he is named as a sub and doesn't play then he can play if City sign him.

A new rule this season states that even if he does play on Wednesday but we fail to qualify then he CAN still play for City, if we win though and go through then he will be cup tied.

If Nasri wants to go then fine, but it must be on the clubs terms, play him Wenger!!!!!
