Rich mate you've gone and jumped the gun
Hope this doesn't put a "Motson" on the deal.
Remember the start of last season, we started more than a couple of threads for players that then ended up going elsewhere.

There's been plenty of threads about possible signings.

I'm surprised there wasn't a post earlier, there has been for every other player we've been linked with.

depends what and where you read about this, im confused but really hope we sign him has been compared to zinidaine, some sources say its all done and dusted and some say his agent is haggling over the wages and such, i will have to get intouch with some mates back in blighty that have footie connections, but i am praying we sign him

I don't pay any attention to the media's hype of who the "next" is.

For example, Sunu is supposed to be the next Henry - because he's black, French and plays for Arsenal.

he is meant to be a good player though, on skysports web page wenger has admitted he wants him and hjopefully sorted soon, thats IF the story is true, i think i put a web link to it on another post somewhere

Geez that's one huge comparison to live up to, Zidane was pretty damn good. I hope he lives up to it.

Where do you think and how do you think Arsene will play him?

apparently he likes going through the centre.

him and cesc in the middle with rosicky on the left and theo/new signing on the right would be top class. but maybe too aggressive? may play nasri as a floating midfielder, sort of in a pires role. starting on the left but given license to run all over the place tearing teams apart.

Wenger is confident to sign him.
Cant wait..
what number do you think he will get?
14?

Yeh that's what I thought, in the middle with Cesc and Rosicky and Theo wide (hopefully Ben Arfa even!) but then I thought with our defence that's a pretty attack minded midfield and we could get caught out a bit, especially with how our fullbacks play too.
I don't know I'm real excited to see him in an Arsenal shirt though, can't bloody wait till next season.

One site I saw had a pic of Nasri in a gooners shirt.

It may have been done on computer though.

Wouldn't mind seeing Nasri in the center with Cesc and another winger out wide.

I'm pretty sure the number 14 is retired, and assuming Hleb leaves then Nasri might get 13

retired for how long though - isn't it just a season? we have to move on.
I mean Dennis' number was given up straight away to billy.

14 isn't retired.

Looks like the deal is 99% done according to multiple sources.

I wish they'd hurry up and announce this. It's been expected for over a week now, and it feels like its sort of happened but not really.

Wonder what the hold up is?

It'd be all the little details like international clearance and organising various rights and bonuses.

It should happen before Euro 2008, assuming Liverpool dont do a Babel on us, very unlikely though. When Arsene said that he was going to sign 2 or 3 world class players, do you think this is what he had in mind for one of them?

another week, Nasri still hasn't signed, doesn't look good.

I had a dream last night that someone did something dodgy at the last minute and wenger was gonna take it to fifa.

knowing my dreams that means nasri will be signing soon, lol

there's no rush...
Transfer period hasn't even begun!

it's hopefully looking promising according to http://msnsport.skysports.com/story/0,1 ... 90,00.html
so fingers crossed it will all be sorted soon, i really hope we get him.

Remember Sagna took a while to be announced, and there was no Euro tournament to get in the way then.

It will happen soon enough, no need to worry, i dont think many clubs are intrested anyway

i have a bad feeling about it now.

first wenger said it will happen before the euros
then he said 'in a few days'
the media have changed their date of the proposed official signing from 2 mondays ago, to last monday to yesterday where it was supposed to be a photo shoot (all bollox from the papers i know, just shows they dont have a clue).
but now wenger has come out today and said that it will be done AFTER THE EUROS!!
s**t s**t s**t.
i was looking forward to watching him for france as a gooner, whats the bet he has a great tornament and his price goes up by 10 million.

I'm not overly worried if we have to wait until after Euros. I'm confident we'll get him. Wenger doesn't often make comments about purchasing a player unless it's almost certain.

A bid has been accepted, so even if he has a fantastic Euro, he won't cost more in transfer fees. It's only wages we have to worry about.

Anyway, it's no surprise about the delay. Wenger is on holiday and Nasri is with France preparing for Euro.

See what happens when we count our eggs before the fat lady has sung

Well be right. I'm still positive about signing him.

Nasri is going to become a Gooner, as Richard said, Wenger never says these things unless he's certain, often Wenger doesnt even say ANYTHING about who hes going to sign, so saying that he is going to sign him after Euros is definetly a positive

Hope Thierry gets in his ear at euro's and tells him it's the only place to go
