I won't disagree, and that's what I was insuating with the comment about it being symptomatic of Wenger's loser attitude. And also coddling them despite being underachievers

As for what he is saying - I hope it is all part of negotiating. If he wants the club to accept his demands it would be stupid to come out and say that he will sign for sure, or rule out moves to certain clubs.

Although Nasri was disappointing since returning from his injury,I have to say that IMO he was never hiding on the pitch. He wasn´t direct enough or made enough runs without the ball - but he kept fighting and demanding the ball. I haven´t seen anything that makes me question his desire.

😆 Way to contradict yourself.

3 good months and no trophies to show for it shouldnt get you a 110k contract.

You may hate me saying this but I've got to a point where I don't even blame our players for this kind of behaviour. We consistently show a stunning lack of ambition and our best players (and Denilson) are going to want to leave - their career is short and they can't afford to waste it pissing around here when we're going nowhere fast.

I've felt it for a while but this kind of shit is further evidence for why we shouldn't be undervaluing short-term success. We can accrue as many players with potential as we like but as soon as they come good they're going to leave because they're not winning anything here and so we continue ad infinitum with our rebuilding process; a process that consists of a persistent downgrading of quality in our squad.

I don't blame the players at all it's not a charity you know, they're professional footballers that is their job and their career might be very short and uncertain, in football 90 minutes is a long time, they're not supporters like us so they go where fate takes them.
And they have only two motivations- money and medals who can blame them for that? so I certainly wouldn't call them "self- entitled twats", it was only a few months ago that we were singing Nana nana nana nana Nasri Nasri Samir Nasri......

Whatever your view on them, players not committing is a pain. The time spent convincing samir to stay will hinder wengers efforts elsewhere in the market.

Using United's alleged interest as leverage is a low act becoming of an agent - not one of our players. I hate having players of this character at the club. I never was a big Nasri fan going into this season, and I was pleasantly suprised with his form, but the limp wristed slump was something I saw coming as well. These United comments have done him no favours in my eyes.

I'm sure it would be much easier to convince him to stay if one or two 'super-quality' players actually appeared this summer.

The easiest way to 'convince' him to stay, is to pay him the money.

Fuck Nasri.

Another failure of the Wenger project.

Nasri is really stupid to have made those United comments, if indeed he said that. It's a hard life for an Arsenal fan. We just go from horror to horror. Whether it's the Fabregas-Barca saga, Denilson saying he's a winner, or this. Downright disastrous

I'm switching between annoyance with the club and annoyance with the player on this. Either way it ain't healthy.

Everyones handled this badly.

There is no contradiction there. What are you on about?

But theres no money, poor Arsene is doing all he can.

Guardian reckons he won't commit until he sees what Wenger does in the transfer market. A more respectable position to take at least. I wouldn't hold his breath if I were him

The Guardian is chatting shit.

lol. Guardian are putting 2 and 2 together. as should Wenger

and coming up with what? three?
