With the imminent arrival of Gervinho in a matter of days, a rush of transfers could soon follow at the Emirates. However, if it doesn’t, will the arrival of the Ivorian striker be enough to keep Samir Nasri at the club?
The 23-year-old Frenchman stated a few weeks ago that he wants Arsenal to sign players in order for him to sign a new contract at the club. Nasri hasn’t really indicated on whether they should be experienced or not, or how many players we should sign, but his message is a very clear one to Arsene Wenger.
Personally, I don’t think Gervinho will be enough to keep Nasri. I feel that he wants Wenger to get rid of the deadwood and acquire very decent players to play around him next season. I also think that the France international wants the Gunners to show him that they have some ambition…and to be honest, I don’t blame him.
I think a lot of Arsenal fans have become very, very frustrated with Wenger failing to sign anyone with any experience in the last few years. For example, when he signed our first summer signing, Carl Jenkinson, many fans moaned that he obtained yet another youngster, and have already written him off before he’s even kicked a ball.
However, we do need to be bold in the transfer market, and Wenger needs to open that chequebook and spend some cash.
I believe signing Samba still won’t be enough to convince Nasri to stay. I only believe the French midfielder will only be happy when Wenger signs a big-name player, who this is, I have no idea.
There have been countless amounts of names already being linked to the club, and it makes me think, why haven’t we bothered making a big bid for anyone yet? Why are the players saying they don’t want to come here?
I know we haven’t won anything for six-years, but we need players who want to play for the club. We need players with ambition and the drive to win things.
I don’t blame Nasri for wanting to see Arsenal’s intentions in the market before committing his long-term future to the club. Personally, I just hope we do sign big players, and when we do (being optimistic here), that Nasri repays Wenger back by playing his heart out for the club and helps break this ridiculous trophy drought next season.
I really do hope that this whole mess is over with before August.

Truly Arsenal needs to sign experience players before they can overcome these trophyless seasons
i think we need a striker like vucinic, if only we used to clichy for lower the price them we can get good player, with vucinic, gervinho and cahil(samba? are you kidding me?) so we can persuade to narsi for keep with our
Finally: he’s a right winger who can play on the left as well. Not a striker.
Three players i do think that we need,Gary Cahill or Phil Jagielka,Fellaini in the midfield and Gervinho.
I think a player like falcao, cahill, d cousta,gevinhno and sissoko will be a good source 4 arsenal. Wenger should 4get eto’o bcos he can’t pay him, but all the way i love him as a striker bcos he is sharp nd clinic 2 partner with rvp.
I think the Gervinho signing would convince Nasri to LEAVE! Gervinho is average at best and will not help us become a title challenging team.
WENGER OUT!
This layout is kinda cool, whats the template?
