Samir Nasri to have Man City medical

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Would be a good signing but if it were a choice between Modric and Nari Id pick Modric everytime. If we end up signing both then its important that Sturridge starts on the right wing, Nasri is a technically fantastic player, creative and will probably link up well with our players but he is pretty similar to Malouda in that he wont skip past players for fun out wide, its important that on at least one of our flanks we have a winger who can actually go by a man.

Skysports do not just make shit up, probably the most reliable source out there.

- Forgot to quote Justin_3d hah.

SkySport and BBC.

Because if it's not true, then why make it up?

i dont think they do make it up, they just dont always get it right or the situation changes but its certainly not some collaboration between sky and le arse to bump prices up.

Well i also remember reading something similar about Coentrao.

That Chelsea was in, and it seems nothing but BS to raise the price so that Real Madrid pay more.

If I remember correctly and I do remember these things usually , the club sent a scout to watch Coentraro over a period of time while he was at Benefica. Presumably the same scout/s that had the assignment on Ramires and Luiz as well . Sky Sports are one of the few news outlets that actually take pride in the credibility of their reports , by general opinion after looking at all the dross scattered through the rest of the media . Whatever they get from other sources they clearly quote..and its not naive to assume the biggest private media conglomerate in the UK don't have certain suits who know the inner whispers of clubs in the league .

Not saying they always get it right of course .

I think i said in the past that Skysports have about a 95% reliability.

The other 5% is laughable, like yesterdays article of Modric.

Ok so i will give them the benefit of the doubt of this one.

But what made me question Skysport was yesterdays pathetic article:

Sky Sports News understands playmaker Luka Modric will tell Tottenham he wants to leave the club and join Chelsea.

Really? how can you know he will say that, unless you are his personal agent?

[J.F. 1,484]

this is Chelsea payback for Robinho.

They sited Portuguese paper, and they didn't say according to their own sources.

----------Ramires----------

Modric-------------Nasri

What is not to like about that?

Besides, I bet Royal Blue will bring out their eyes.

that story was the general consensus on most media outlets yesterday and still today so there will be something in it. It only takes a friend or agent to say something to the press for a story to generate, sometimes its intentional sometimes its not and the fact that the media quote "a close friend or a chelsea insider" all the time makes it less believable for people but it doesnt mean its always wrong.

He will join Man City. He wont join Man Utd or Chelsea who were Arsanal and his biggest rivals.

If Ashley Cole, a player born and bred Arsanal can jump ship and not look back, I think a Frenchmen with no real connections to Arsanal could come to us.

Anyway, I just was just watching ESPN and the rumour mill is really picking up steam with the Arsanal situation.
