United can't persuade him as they aren't allowed talk to him. I also doubt he has £4m to do it in the first place either. There's no chance it will happen, far to much money for Nasiri to afford and no club will tell him to do it.

All it really needs is for Nasri to insist and convince Wenger that he's going to do it and Arsenal will have to agree to sell him. Now they could conceivably sell him to a foreign team, but that's hard to do if Nasri doesn't want to go.
For what it's worth I don't think he'll end up at United but I don't think it's inconceivable in any way that shenanigans are going on the background if United are generally interested.

I've never heard it happen in any of the big leagues for a big named player. I'm sure Wenger would be delighted if Nasri insisted he was going to do it because the FA would then take United to the cleaners.

Nasri: "We're miles apart on terms, I'm not signing a new contract, in fact I'm going to buy out what's left of my contract and tout myself to clubs"
Wenger: "Have you been tapped up?"
Nasri: "of course not"
Now either Wenger agrees to sell him in which case Nasri can choose the club he wants or Nasri buys-out his contract and 4 weeks later after meeting a number of clubs decides to sign for United.
What exactly would the FA charge United with?

As a follow on to Dokes blog entry and others tales of homeless bum living..(TL;DR)
SPOILERAbout 9 years ago I quit my job spontaneously in Intel one day and went to France to busk and pick grapes - I had never done either before - and never actually got around to picking grapes as I mistimed my arrival with the harvest. I had been in Montpellier for a few days and had booked a night train ticket to Bescanson near the German border. (Night trains are awesome when you're travelling like this on a low budget as you just wake up when you arrive and have saved a nights hotel/hostel or whatever.)
So I had checked out of wherever I was staying at 12 or 2pm or whenever I had to and arsed about for the day and went down to the train station at about 10pm to get my train. There was much confusion as it had been very stormy and it turned out my train was cancelled but there was one going at 5.30am. I was walking back up the street with rucksack and guitar trying to figure out wtf to do when I was approached by a crazy looking Scottish guy of about 40 and an english girl maybe 30-35. They both looked fairly down and out. Jock put his hands on my shoulder and really slowly slurs out "DO - YOU - SPEAK - ENGLISH?". I do sez I. They were looking for money to buy wine and I reached in my pocket and pulled out about 7 or 8 euros in change. They were all about me then when I told them my train was cancelled and said they'd pool it ith what they had and get wine and tobacco and we'd all hang out. Fair enough sez I. So they went and got the cheapest pissiest wine available and brought me back to the station where we hooked up with the girls boyfriend - another english guy called Anthony maybe 35-40. He was waiting there with 2 big black mongrelly looking dogs. Turns out the three of them had just been deported from Italy for shoplifting or so they said.
So we end up drinking and playing guitar and by eleven o clock there was about a dozen in the group - some french student types and some araby looking goons afair. Anthony spoke french fluently and a few of the french people could play guitar and it was all very good natured. By maybe 1 or 2am the crowd had dispersed and it was just the four of us again. Anthony annnounced he had found a good place to sleep for the night while the other 2 had recruited me. So, we haul ass about 5 mins from the train station to a wall in a carpark that was sheltered and relatively warm. Jock seemed to be one of those guys thats permanently locked and the girl was fairly drunk too and both were talking incoherently about God knows what -Anthony was talking to me about general shit. Telling me some places he had been and was very open about anything I asked him - like for example the dogs - I never realised why all the homeless people I had seen around France had a dog but its purely for protection he told me.
Anyway next thing three araby looking guys approached us and they had very little english or french. They were germans. The guy that appeared to be the leader was wearing a bright red bomber jacket. He produced a pup that was only 3 or 4 weeks old and was trying to get the girl to take it. She's locked and all over the pup but Anthony is just saying no no no to her. We already have 2 dogs and its too young. One of the germans is trying to make friends with one of the english groups dogs and next thing Anthony flips out with him. Starts roaring at him in german - there's alot of finger pointing and shouting and the girl is crying and they're still trying to push the terrified pup on her. Over all the shouting between Anthony and the germans, the crying from the girl, the barking of the dogs and whimpering of the pup i was just sitting there thinking wtf-omg-fml etc, i hear this voice saying Entshuldigung,entshuldigung getting louder and louder. The arguing stops and everyone turns around to see Jock wobbling and pointing into space saying what seems to be the only german word he knows. Anthony ends up arguing with them some more and eventually they leave - with the pup - but they're not happy.
So a little while later Jock and the girl are passed out and Anthony and me are talking again. He says that they were trying to make friends with the dogs and they'd come back later to rob them and the dogs wouldn't bark or anything. I ask him how he got so good at french and german and he says just from being in the countries for a while. Says he speaks Italian and Spanish just as well. I ask him what age he is and he tells me 29. Another while passes and Jock rises to his knees and has a bit of an attack and starts kind of climbing the wall and babbling. Anthony tells me not to worry about it - its standard(heh he prob didn't say standard). A couple of hundred metres away we can see a group of maybe 6 or 7 people approaching. One of them is wearing a very bright red jacket. Oh fuck says Anthony. Hope you can fight. I spend the next 20 seconds pretty much paralysed with fear. As they get a little closer we can see that its not our german arab friends returning but just some other group of youths out for a 4am stroll.
They didn't bother us and after chatting for another while and finishing off the cheap wine and tobacco I shook Anthonys hand and caught the train to Besancon

Well if Wenger says Nasri threatened them with it then they will look into. First they ask where he got the £4m to buy his contract, slim to none he has it saved. He could get a loan for it, alot of hassle though. The FA wouldn't need strong evidence, and then would come down so heavily on United because of the implications.

Although I don't believe this'll happen, there's an agreement between the major clubs not to use that rule and I believe it's been fairly stuck too so far."In the world, there are many kings but there is only one God. I am God, I am El Tren" :{)

Teddie give it a rest. Naive to think that tapping up isnt going on all over the football world. I'm pretty sure United tapped up Stam and Van Nistelrooy, I think Stam has admitted it and Ive read about the VN thing. I'm sure there has been loads more.
Ashely Cole was tapped up by Chelsea.
Also, if Arsenal get 5mil for Clichy they should take the hand off the person. Get that space cadet out of the back 4.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

There is a massive difference between this and tapping up. Arsenal received compensation in the form of money and a player after Ashley Cole was tapped up. If the FA/FIFA allowed this to happen it would basically make transfers completely redunant as no club would bother buying a player as they would simply ring him up and ask him to buy himself out of his contract instead of them having to buy him from his club.Last edited by Teddie; 10-06-11, 00:29.

Just watching the replay of the Sunday Million Final Table and they looked at a deal. I'm not sure what the orignal numbers were, but there was $300k for the top 2 places so it would have been something $190k/$110k
When the numbers came up, they both agreed in the space of 10 seconds. Surely a 14m chip lead is worth more than a $6k pay difference? Was eamsie a clown not to look for more?

United might now be very tempted to take the risk of buying out Nasri contract if they are after him. £16m for Young and giving him £130k a week, ouch.

With a 190k/110k split, a fair chop is 150k/130k and play on for 20k (obv the prizepool is about 2.5k less than this but you get the idea)
