Twitter criticism of Gunners fans set to be Nasri’s parting shot

ANOTHER one bites the dust.

Within hours of Cesc Fabregas sealing his return to Barcelona, Samir Nasri used Twitter to attack Arsenal’s supporters and seemingly sign his own exit warrant at Arsenal.

The club’s disillusioned supporters chanted derogatory songs about Nasri in their opening Premier League fixture at Newcastle and in the Frenchman’s eyes, this was disrespectful.

He said: “I heard what the fans were singing about me on Saturday and it is really disrespectful because I’m still an Arsenal player.”

It is clear, therefore, that Nasri does not envisage playing for Arsenal much longer. He would hardly question the fans’ support if he thought he was sticking around to share a stadium with them.

Manchester City, and a significant pay-rise, awaits.

What a ghastly summer for Arsene Wenger. Arsenal’s best player is now gone and Nasri will follow.

News on potential arrivals is thin on the ground. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is one for the future, not now. Juan Mata, the exciting Valencia winger, appears unobtainable.

It could be argued Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey can form the axis devoid of Fabregas and Nasri but the club’s fans want reinvestment.

Arsenal will now need leaders and a commanding presence in defence to help bring the best out of Laurent Koscielny would be wise.

Birmingam’s Scott Dann has been mentioned and fits the modest transfer tag — around £8m — that has become the hallmark of Wenger’s approach to the market.

Beyond that, a creative influence is sought and Jadson, a diminutive and unheralded Brazilian who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk, is a target.

Will that appease the Arsenal fans? Unlikely, but they have become used to, and so tired of, such activity.
