As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

"People at Arsenal tried to make out that I came here for the money.
I hope they are watching me now, collecting my Premier League winners medal. I believe they have not won a trophy for many years now.
If all that I was interested in was money, the easiest decision would have been to stay at Arsenal, picking up my money every week and walking into the team. There are many people doing this right now at Arsenal.
I made the hard choice to come and fight for my place at a big club, where they never settle for second best and I have proved it correct. I now hope the Arsenal fans can get on with their lives and forget me, they should celebrate their third place achievement and I will focus on winning titles."
OUCH.
Still, I suppose Nasri and Clichy only went 'for the money' eh?

Who gives a fuck???
I do.
If this is an accurate translation, then who can argue with the guy?

We'll see....
As someone above said, he said pretty much the same thing on Sky.
I saw him on Sky and he didn't mention Arsenal.
Excellent work Babatunde. I like that you took down what Nasri said word for word.
Congratulations on your world class stupidity.
I was very clear that it was on French tv, TF1 to be precise.
Back up papa Wenger's bumhole please.
I'm very much aware of your claim. As for being clear - I was answering the post I quoted. Thanks for the congratulations but obviously I can't take all the credit.
Can we have an interview with RVP next? maybe you could get him to say how shit Arsenal are and how much he hates Wenger. Top it all off with a dig about Diabys wages. Yeah that'll get em.
I have no problem with players leaving Arsenal to win things or for more money, they always have and they always will - Brady, Stapleton, Thomas, petit, Overmars, Anelka, paddy, to name a few.
That's just part of being an Arsenal fan, and most players don't get stick because they dont drop us in it at the last moment and then use the papers to defend themselves.
As I said, no class. But good business for us - half his fee paid for a world class striker.
So good luck to him, but we'll still give him stick cos it winds him up
