Nobody watches Sochaux games Caligula.

He is a centre-mid and impressed on his international debut for France two days ago, hence the link.

I already scouted him 2 months ago when Opta stats mentioned him on twitter as the only person up there with Messi in terms of assists.

Nothing special about him.

lil centrally-inclined playmaker who doesn't score. you should probably prepare to see more of him in future, Clarence

Played from the left and scored two goals for France though.

I'm all for it! Just imagine how good we'll be in 3 years 🙂

If we end up selling Nasri to United we should fire everyone who was involved in making that deal happen.

It looks like the Teamtalk stor is based on the Sky Sports one though, which in turn seems based mostly on the fact that Nasri still hasn't committed to us. Wouldn't make anything of it at the moment. I'm pretty sure Nasri will go though.

i couldnt handle watching him turn united into a kick and rush team to one which has a drop of class - dont mind him moving on but anyone other than united - please god, this summer's shit enough as it is.

It's not just the individual quality he'd add to that pile of shit that bugs me, it's equally the message it sends. It's one thing selling has-beens like Adebayor and Touré to City for a huge lump of money. Nasri could well end up being the french player of his generation though and is coming off a strong season, and he's nowhere near his prime yet. To lose him over £20 000 quid a week and then having to find a proper replacement who'll just end up earning close to that sum anyway is imbecile, to put it lightly.

The most frustrating thing of all is that we don't even need to spend huge sums to reinforce the attack. Just keep the players we have and go for someone like Young to provide depth and alternatives. Even Gervinho will improve us, provided that we keep what we already have. We don't have to sign a superstar to improve. We just need to make sure that we're not so damn reliable on two-three players to make stuff happen in the final third.

If Nasri wants out then we must force him to Real or our parent club, Barca. Cannot have him strengthening a Premier League rival

Umm...if you have an initial interest then surely the only way to step up that interest is to make a bid. They dont just want him now, they really, really, really want him?

It started of as brinkmanship on Nasri's part and then a 'mystery' agent circulated rumours that ManU are interested, and then another 'mystery' agent circulated rumours that they were really interested and Nasri is their number one target.

Strange chain of events...

😆

What's your best guess then? Utd been in contact with him for a while? Negotiating tactic?

If the Utd interest is genuine, it wouldn't surprise me if they told him to wait a year and then they'll pick up for free. Wouldn't be the first time they've told a player to wait a year. Whether Nasri will wait is another question.

United would certainly be interested in Nasri but all this talk is just agent nonsense to try and get the contract that he wants at Arsenal.

I would rate Nasri's chances of joining ManU at 0%.

Quite certain there is a deadline for when he must have commited to Arsenal, or we will actively look to flog him. Can´t see that he will be allowed to run his contract down.

Agree with that. No way will he be sold to either of our PL competitors.
