Nasri Deal?????? On/Off, On/Off, On/Off

[ant london]

LOLS!!

[carl_feedthegoat]

I don't get why some of you are so hysterical. This deal is clearly going to happen. As someone else said we are not going to (nor do we need to) chuck him straight into action so the delay makes fuck all difference.

He gives us another dimension when he arrives but we have plenty til that happens

You bunch of fucking queens ;-)

We need him for Sunday, we are playing top of the league in case you hadnt noticed. You need everyone available when you're playing one of the sides occupying the champions league spots.

Get ready for "It was only Bolton" when we batter them as well.

Will it mean anything if he plays for Ars tomorrow?
He might i guess

It'll mean something if he plays and gets crocked.

I think he might get a nasty reception, something that many players around the game with note; so, Mr Wenger, this is how it is when you unravel, is it? No, I'd rather not join your club.

The man is a twat.

What he should have done was got Fabs and Nasri oiut 6 weeks ago and spent wisely, with time to spare; they will now be trying to buy quality in a 10 day window and quality will not be what they will get, neither will prices tumble with their 50 million wallet on display...assuming Nasri is coming to us. Great management Wenger, 10/10. He has lost the plot and part of what's driving it is our money and the sight of us storming passed them in the league. They know they can't match our spending power and the reality might be sinking in that City are a top 4 side and that they might not be. He hates it and it's driving him mad.

That might see Arsen being asked to pop down to Harley St.

We may keep saying that we are loaded but we still have to run a a business, even more so now due to FFP (as we all know). With Ade, Bellers, RSC et al taking around a million a month in wages then we just can't afford to be bringing players in willy-nilly with no consequences. It would make perfect sense to offload one or two to enure the wage bill balances out.

If i understand the FFP correctly, which is a long shot, Ade, Bellamy, and Bridge's wages dont figure into FFP because their contracts were signed in 2009. Cant remember where I read this on here but it was in reference to Adebayor and how we dont have to do anything with him if we dont want cuz his wages dont figure into FFP.



Also, read on SSN that the Nasri deal has stalled over agent payments.

Mmmmm, so are we saying that Ade's, Beller's et al have already been paid upfront? As I see it their wages may not count towards FFP but they've still got to be paid while on our charge. If that money is going to them it ain't going to anybody else and is a line on our accounts.

[rabbit]

There is no way Nasri will ever play for Arsenal again....

That's that.

On a side note, I always liked Wenger as a bloke as well as being astonished by the quality and type of football his various Arsenal sides have played over the years. However in the last month he has morphed into delusional insanity and a refusal to publicly accept what is going on around him.

This paricular type of personality disorder means that Nasri may be picked this weekend...

This is football as soap opera.

like i said, i dont quite have a firm grasp on FFP, but I dont' think it counts towards FFP. But, as you suggested, I'm sure they havent been paid up front so it will be a drain on our finances as long as we have em on our books. however, im sure the sheikh can handle it.
i was merely pointing out that those few players dont affect our FFP standing which seemed to be something that bothered you in your post.
but your point about how frivolously we've been spending is well noted. i too agree. i think mancini has gotten spoiled with the monetary backing he has here and is spending too much.

Think were gonna need a double switch up in this bitch.

Classy switch. I expected something more feminine given the impending nuptials.

I'm sorry but that sounds like nonsense, if we are paying their wages then they count towards our balance sheet and therefore FFP. There is probably lots of clever financial cooking going on with the value of the assets (players) but their salary is quite clearly an expense.

Any contracts signed prior to 2009 do not count towards expenditure in relation to FFP.

You are right, no contract signed before 2009 counts when being weighed against teh FFP profit and loss rules, in the same way if they find our sponsorship with Etihad unrealistic then we still get the money but only a portion will count towards FFP.

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

I was concerns re FFP for ages, the I though well the club will have lawyers and scrutineers brighter than you or I are all over the FFP rulings. I wouldn't worry about them a jot.
