Cant disagree with your comment apart from How is it a billion pounds? Mancini might get a lot of stick but imo has done a brilliant job.3rd in the league a major trophy (first in 35 years, first in my lifetime) Do you think even if Fabregas decides to leave (be it Barca, Madrid or City) Wenger will splash the cash and buy what is needed, a partner for Vermaelan? a defensive midfielder? P.S for the record if Arsenal had Hart, Kompany, De Jong, Tevez they would have walked the league.
That said, I'm not sure he has a long term future in Arsenal's central midfield and if we sign new wingers then he may struggle to get a game, which seems mad to say now.

I'm a bit worried about the Nasri situation. Of course, this could all yet be resolved amicably with Nasri signing a new contract. He could be just playing the usual games toextract as good a contract as he can get. If he is to leave, then I'm sure he'll have a number of suitors and I'm not sure why he'd boycott other options in favour of United. Would Wenger sanction a sale to United? Can't see this happening, but I am worried. He's one of my favourite Arsenal players.
The thing is, would many other teams be willing to pay a lot for Nasri in Europe? I'm not sure he'd fit in at other clubs and he's quite suited to the premiership. So I can see him moving to City or United, but with Evra at United he probably would go there, if of course SAF wants him.
Many of you Gooners will expect me to rejoice at this news, but I can't. I do genuinely feel sorry for you. In many ways, I feel (on behalf of Spurs) a bit responsible. After all, SAF has probably decided to take Nasri because he's not been able to prise Modric off us. Modric has made it clear that, despite all the money being thrown at him by SAF, he loves playing for Spurs and wants to stay. That's why us Spurs fans love him so very much. But, back on topic, yeah. I feel a bit responsible about this. If Modric hadn't been so loyal to us Spurs fans, perhaps the temptation would not have been put under Nasri's nose causing him to jump ship? The lad's a huge talent and will be sorely missed by you guys, especially as you had been looking to build a team to one day challenge for the title, and maybe even make it to the quarter final of the CL. Sorry.
I just feel sorry for Modric, the Croatian LeTissier. Still he'll always have the memories of the year they reached the quarters in the CL. My oh my.
No, please don't feel sorry for us. Unlike Nasri, Bale's contract doesn't come up for renewal for about another 5 or 6 years. And if you really are mug enough to pay us £80 million for him, I'll snap your hand off, pal. As it happens, all of our players have too much class and self-respect to go and play for your bunch of mercenaries. Thanks for the interest, though
