Nasri - I need to win trophies!!!!!

Post by delgooner »

Samir Nasri says his refusal to sign a new contract at Arsenal is motivated by a desire to win trophies, and not just to enrich himself.

I know this from the News Of The Screws but it really is a load of shit and goes to show you what these over-rated foreign fucking fanny rags think they are the business! He wants to win trophies? So why go to Shitty? Fucking frog mercenary - hate the *word censored*!

Nasri has reportedly informed Arsenal that he will not sign a new deal, and with his current contract lasting only 12 more months it is thought the France international will be sold this summer.

Manchester City are believed to be closing in on the signing of the midfielder, who says Arsenal's continuing failure to win silverware forced him to consider his future.

Nasri told the News of the World: "Money has never been my motivation. I have always taken decisions from a football point of view. I don't want to sign for a club where I wouldn't be playing the football that I like, where I wouldn't feel happy, just for the sake of money - yeah and my dad's the fucking pope!

TBH mate I don't see anything wrong with what Nasri is saying. He's ambitious and wants to win things, he won't do that at Arsenal because we're going backwards every season and Wenger refuses to strengthen the team adequately. Why should he stay? At least City are showing ambition. If he gets paid double what he earns at arsenal that's a bonus right?

To be honest, Worthing, he's got more chance of winning trophies at Manscum than at Shitty so why go there? - simple - MONEY!

And if it is purely about winning trophies and not about cash then I support him in those views. That being said if we got a 20m+ offer then I would gladly accept it cos he aint worth that much and is one of the biggest shirkers in the team when the pressure comes on us :roll: :x

What are you basing that on mate ? Tradition ? History ? We exceed citeeh in both of those yet they have won the fa cup last season whilst we have won nothing in 6 seasons. You can try sticking your head in the sand if you want but it will not disguise the fact that citeeh are a coming force and as long as sheik monsour is funding them then they are going to be serious challengers for every trophy whether you like it or not

He's got more chance of winning trophies at either of those teams than he has at Arsenal. If one is offering £200k a week and the other is offering £100k a week and we are offering £90k a week, which is he going to go to?

If you were employed by a company and were paid £25k a year, and another company which are bigger, better connected, better prospects came to you and said we'll double your salary to £50k a year for doing the same job, you'd be a fool not to take it.

At the end of the day City are a club with ambition, they'll use their endless barrels of cash to sign some quality players next season, and if Nasri wants to be a part of that with the added bonus of a huge payrise, I can't say I really blame him.

We're deluded if we expect these foreign players who we bring in time after time to be loyal. Loyalty in footballers is a very rare thing these days. Why should Nasri be loyal to Arsenal? He's not an arsenal fan, he's not from London or even England. He left his boyhood club to win trophies, and he'll leave us for the same reason.

I'm not saying Nasri is completely blameless, and it's a shame he's just running off when times get hard, but I blame Wenger for this shit state this club is in and I wouldn't blame Nasri, Fabregas or Van Persie if they wanted out because this ship is sinking fast and those players are too good to go through their career winning absolutely nothing out of a sense of loyalty to a deluded old man.

Many fans now reckon that Wenger won't win another major trophy at The Arsenal, apart from maybe the League Cup.

Seems to me that any ambitious player at the club would feel the same, whoever he goes to he would have a much better chance of medals at least.

Lets face it, Wenger won't have strengthened the squad at the end of the current transfer window, in fact it will be further weakened just like the last 5 years or so

Still at least we will have more transfer profits available for investment in the clubs property division :barscarf:

I'm basing that on Manscum just won the PL again, were in the CL final at wembley, so I think He would get more chance than at City. I'm not sticking my head in the fucking sand - I've been standing on top of the trenches for 6 seasons mate and waiting for the reinforcements to turn up!

I see nothing wrong with what he says, the manager has failed his players due to his vanity project, the flip side to this is that Nasri needs to take a long hard look at himself in the mirror and accept responsibility for his actions as he has also failed the manager like the rest of them that want out including Cesc, people can bang on about how he's carried the team but he's also been responsible for match changing errors so needs to look at himself aswell.

Yep and the CC Final. Don't bullshit us about winning trophies when you hid for the second half of the season including the final. It's all about the money, end of. Wanker. :banghead:

If that. Even if we do get to a final again, there's a 95% chance it'll be against Utd, Chelsea, City etc. Arsenal will struggle to ever get an easier chance to win a trophy than against relegation fodder Birmingham and yet we even managed to fuck that up in calamitous fashion.

i appreciate what he's saying but its just a shame that, like most footballers these days, they have no loyalty to the team who shot them to the top and selfish motives come through...granted everyone wants to win trophies and if thats the only motive, its a shame cos so many players this summer are telling us what we know; this team aint good enough to win trophies but if selfish motives like money and superstardom at one of the TOP teams like Man Utd, Barca, Madrid etc come into it, thats when the player gripes me eg Adebayor & Cashley.

Lest we forget Nasri scored 15 goals last season. 2nd highest after RVP.
Not bad for someone played out of position most of the time.

I don't blame him for going. The club has no ambition other than top four finish which we will not achieve next season.

There is only so much of this :banghead: you can do.

Thank-you Samir. Good luck with your new club.
