Arsenal are in advanced talks with French pair Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy over new deals to stay with the Gunners.
With both stars about to enter the final year of their contracts, the Emirates board are keen to offer fans assurances that the club is moving in the right direction following their sixth successive year without silverware.
Nasri, 23, and Clichy, 25, have been instrumental in Arsenal’s title bid this season.

Heard this about 3 months ago then went quiet now the talk of them signing is back. Personally I don’t think samir will sign a new contract as he would have came out and said he wanted to stay like what clichy and sanga have just done hope I’m wrong tho. Btw what do u think of my team?
Chesney
sagna djourou vermaelen clichy
Song
Wilshere. Fabregas
Nasri
Van persie. Walcott

I was of the understanding that Nasri had just been given a big pay rise and is now on 90,000 pounds per week plus a five year contract.

I wouldnt mind if thy leave.thn we get ashly young n baines in their postns

I think if arsenal will not sign an experienced goalkeeperlike shay given,and one strong midifilder like Masherano together with an attacking player like who is physic like charton cole or darren bent,asamoa gyan,i dont think there is a possibility of arsenal winning a title

Nasri is going to look for greener pastures Arsenal is a losing team why should he stay
[Reply]
I hope they all stay, except adbul, delnison, vela, and bedner sold away….

The team need a massive clearout and a summer spree to brighten their chances of winning any trophy. Bcos a team that lost a trophy to birmingham, u cannot expect such a team to win against a team like madrid.

Thats what we need – keep two of our perennial losers at the club on HUGE pay rises – Arsenal are a joke to the rest of the world yet that functional french retard cannot see it. He screwed Monaco up and he is doing the same to us – Arsenal are finished.

cast your mind back to when we played the spuds at home: all week wenger was preaching to the fans that they must show gallas respect when the scum come to play. and what does that slimy mf nasri do? i’ll tell you what he does: he openly defies wenger and refuses to shack hands. wenger, the cowered that he has now become does nothing to punish him. ok, you say, the players no longer fear the manager, time for ceo to flex his muscles and bring nasri to heel. oy yeah, that’s right, he has even less balls then wenger.
the whole lot of them have disgraced the once proud traditions of our club.
piss off wenger and take nasri with you.
bring back dein as chairman and let red and white invest in the club before wenger and the board compleatly destroy arsenal’s good name.

here’s my suggestion:
Cash in on Koscielny, Chamakh, Squilacci, Diaby, Rosicky, Denilson, Arshavin, Almunia & Bendtner. Force them the fuck out.
Then, bring in M.Stekelenburg, W. Snjeider, C. Eriksen, P. Mertesacker, E. Hazard, M. Sakho, Moussa Sissoko. In addition to those, we’re also recieving fresh youngsters by the likes JET, Frimpong and so forth.
I know it sounds ambitious, but we still have the leftovers from Adebayor and Toure (35m), and we’ll be recieving a reported transfer budget of 40m. That’s 75m. add that on to the sales of around 60m+(at least 135m put together) and we won’t be that short at all. I really do believe we’ll be able to make it go through.
my ultimate line-up
Stekelenburg
Sagna-Mertesacker-Vermaelen-Clichy
Sissoko
Fabregas-Sneijder
Eriksen———Hazard

Can you imagine the depth of this squad?? the professor would be able to rotate and troll around as much as he’d like, but even he wouldn’t be able to f*** it up.
Let me know what you guys think. Cheers!

Make that sakho as left back. I realized he suits that position as well. Clichy is good offensively but lacks in the defensive department. Besides, he might be off to a new club anyway. And the reason why I took Nasri out of the team is that I don’t think he’ll dwell at the club much longer with the lack of commitment he’s displayed in the latter part of the season.
I’m not so sure it’s up to Wenger anymore. Kroenke looks like a guy who wants some results in return for his involvement.

arsenal need a very good winger like ashly young , top defender de fulham lad and a top striker hulk from porto ad a top defensive midfielder flamini back to the club and our players need to shoot more to score goals..please more shoots..inside the penalty area please just shoot.
[Reply]
If you think Ashley Young is better than Nasri then you might honestly be retarded.
[Reply]
nah mate he aint signed a thing yet unfortunately an im startin to think he mite not!
[Reply]
Guy, i agree wit u.if only dat so call prof wil hear u!
[Reply]
Its better 4 wenger 2 flashout some players like clichy,sagna,alumunia,chamak, diaby and replace them with exprienced one like diego milito, sokho, douglas costa, p metsecker, this can led changes in Arsenal team and eventually real competition 2 man u and chelsea otherwise we won’t compete with other giant team like man u, barca n madrid!
