United Sign Jones

Definately still need a top creative CM, I would love to see Nasri arrive as Arsenal waste him out wide to accomodate Fabregas in the middle. Don't really understand the signing of A. Young (to be confirmed any day now) as we already have Park/Nani who can play on the left

Is this some sort of sick joke?
We play Nasri out wide to 'accomodate' one of the best midfielders in the world.
Its a myth that Nasri can play in midfield. He is far too slow with his passing. He can't see a forward pass like Cesc or even Aaron can. Hence he has a grand total of one assist in the league. Nasri scores goals from wide roles. Thats what he does. But he can't play in midfield as he does not understand how it works. He slows the play down too much. Never ever a midfielder.

well if he is so slow with passing you won't mind it if he moves to us and plays in our midfield.

A wide player for us.

but he doesn't want to play wide , which is why he will leave even if offered more money to stay.

And you know that how?
Wenger has come out and said that the club and Nasri have a financial disagreement at the moment. Nothing about where he wants to play. And this was in a long interview about Nasri on French TV.

not sure how you can post a "live" link like you could on 606, I have seen others do it so it must be possible, maybe a mod can help.
anyway it will work if you copy and paste it into your browser. Not the most reliable of sites though i admit.

It works now. Took about a year to load mind you.
Off course Samir thinks he can play in the middle, so does Arshavin and Rosicky. Problem is they are not as good as Fabregas or Ramsey. Wenger pointed out that the biggest reason why Nasri has not agreed a deal is because of financial disagreement. If playing in the middle is a big reason for him wanting to move then Wenger would have said something about that.
