Looks like another saga so time for a thread

Skysports.com understands Manchester United have stepped up their interest in Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri.

Speculation has intimated Nasri is on United's radar and skysports.com has now learnt he is the club's top target.

The talented French schemer's reluctance to engage in contract talks with Arsenal until he is satisfied their transfer targets are of the required standard to mount a title push next season has alerted Sir Alex Ferguson to his possible availability.

Despite being close to wrapping up a deal for Blackburn defender Phil Jones and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David de Gea, amid widespread speculation Aston Villa's Ashley Young is also heading for Old Trafford, Ferguson's appetite for new signings has yet to be sated.

Nasri is seen as an ideal replacement for the retired Paul Scholes, with the centre of the field an area United's management are keen to revamp with fresh talent.

Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder has been linked but Nasri, with just a season left on his existing deal, could be a more realistic deal to finance.

Arsene Wenger would be loath to lose one of key men, especially given Nasri's exit would likely lead to other members of his squad questioning their own futures.

However, United are now ready to test Arsenal's resolve to keep a player who has previously intimated he would be open to the prospect of moving to Manchester

Sky Sports ^

So how would you gunners feel if you lost him? Good signing for Utd?

Happy to lose him if it means a more direct threat comes in but I do like him and he'll be a quality signing for United.

Yah but I think 1 or 2 good signings will put to bed any questions Cahill and Hazard linked today will do so imo.

I think it could however have some impact on morale, surely its going to have some effect, seeing a key player move to one of your main rivals.

Like I said in the post above, big name signings could turn that around imo. Well hardly big name but you know what I mean :lol:

i don't think it would to be honest, regardless of who came in, losing a key player to a main rival is a massive detriment IMO

Say for instance if Reina had gone to Arsenal as was touted some time ago, regardless of if we signed a big name replacement I still think it would have hurt the fans and also the players to see it happen. Torres' move certainly had some kind of impact on us, we were just fortunate that he turned to shite for the rest of the season. Had he gone on to bang them in and potentially help chelsea to the title I imagine there would have been a lot of envious players at the club that would have had their heads turned even more for a move to another club.

You've been better since you lost Torres and you didn't replace the first two tbf.

I agree its not ideal but I don't think it will play on their minds as much as people make out. It would be like Masch going to Barca, i'd be more jealous seeing that :lol: I think the rivalry thing is being over-exaggerated.
