The other alternative is to convince Nasri to stay.... That is not going to happen unless we smash our wage structure and pay him 190k per week!
Indeed leethegunner, we may not be able to pay him the same cash as city but we could offer him 100-130k a week and bring in a top class player or two to convince him to stay.
Guys he's gone so we can factor him out of the discussions really. The thing is for Arsene to concentrate on strengthening the first team. What he's done so far in this transfer window is not enough as we've seen. Can you imagine going through the entire season on what we have and expect to stay in the Top 4, let alone take any silverware? Arsene needs to pull his head out of the sand and realise that there has to be change. Perhaps the question to ask him is how he would like to be remembered.
