Samir Nasri is refusing to commit his future to Arsenal Football Club, after numerous reports suggesting that Manchester United are lining up a deal to sign the 23-year old Frenchman.

Nasri has only one year left on his current contract at the club, so could go for free this time next year, if a decision isn't made soon.

Arsene Wenger will need Nasri to decide his future soon, because we simply cannot afford a player as good as Samir Nasri to walk for free.

When in France, TF1 questioned Nasri about a possible move away from London. 

"I don't know if I will sign a new contract...Do I want to go to Man United? First, we see if it's real and if it is concrete."

"Anyway, the discussions are ongoing. For the moment, I don't think about this. We will speak about it after the match with Poland."

From a personal view, I'd be stunned if Samir were to leave Arsenal. I have always looked up to him, and admired him because he has always appeared to be a player that just wants to enjoy playing his beautiful style of play.

However, if he were to really rub the salt in the wounds and head to Old Trafford, I'd be incredibly disappointed.

I would never have thought that he would have even considered a move like this, to a rival team.

Of course, I want him to sign a new deal at Arsenal. If we want to have a successful season next year, we can't expect to do so after cashing in on our star players.

But realistically, if he is going to take the p*ss and demand ridiculously high wages then of course, I would have to consider the option of letting him go - as much as it pains me to say that.

No player is bigger than the club.

But more importantly for me, there's no point in having a player in your squad, whose mind is elsewhere - no matter how good he is. With a situation like that, a selection of ranging problems would arise and have the potential to cause serious internal issues.

We would have to let him go.

I just hope Samir realises that very few players have gone on to do greater things after leaving Arsenal Football Club.
