Nasri

He is, however he was in the final 12 months of his contract and there was only Man City who would pay that amount for a player they could have got for nothing in 12 months or indeed a nominal fee in January.

What a crazy situation.
What a get out of jail card for The Arsenal, having cocked up 'again' with contract negotiations.
Though I suppose the word 'contract', in footballing terms, is a bit of a meaningless joke these days.

Of course it's money that's turned his head but these are grown ups who should learn that signing on the dotted line actually means something.

I agree. The clubs are expected to abide by the agreement so why not the players too??

He wants to leave for a club who are in the champions league every season and actually have a chance of winning trophys, on top of that he gets a pay rise. Who wouldnt want that?

There is a huge difference between wanting something and signing a legal contact isn't there... I want to win the lottery but it doesnt mean it is going to happen does it.

Contracts dont matter in football, we know that. Point is im sure most people would want the move if they was in Modric's shoes. Its a no brainer IMO

Well contacts do matter. The clubs still have to pay players when they are injured because of the contact. Modric broke his leg early on at Spurs and he was still collecting his money I didnt notice him moaning that want fair then...

The player should stick to the contact he has signed. If he wants to leave then the club should be in agreement with that. If not then he should get on and play to the best of his ability..

I agree however Modric claims your chairman promised him he'd let him leave if a big club came knocking before he signed his new contract. If he feels the chairman has gone back on his promise then he has every right to be moaning and wanting a move even more now.

It's gone full circle.Long term contracts used to avoided by clubs pre Bosman, however now they see it as a calculated gamble.Levy knows he can afford to be stubborn with Modric as he's on a 5yr deal.Good player that Nasri is, i'd say it's a great deal for Arsenal.

Nasri can easily be replaced by a better player.
All we need to do is flash the £25m that we received for him.
Thereby lies the problem though!!!!
We want the better player for £3-5m and trouser the balance.
I'm afraid that ain't possible anymore.

Instead of pissing Lille off you should've tried getting Eden Hazardof them..

You're right, Hazard is one of the top players in the world. Slap £25m on the table and despite all this not available crap, he'd be bought.
I can't understand why we haven't done that, the Nasri money is a windfall.
