MONEY MONEY MONEY , ITS A RICH MAN'S GAME

 Once again Manchester City appear to have completed another summer signing .
Samir Nasri , soon to be former Arsenal player is the latest Premier league star to join the sky blue revolution . The sum of a reputed £24 million will change hands between two clubs who finished third and fourth last season .
The Premiership is the most lucrative and expensive division in world football and within a couple of seasons a new spending power has emerged out of the daunting shadow of bitter rivals Manchester United to become a major force in English football .
A simple medical is all that stands between the Frenchman Samir Nasri from finalising a summer move that has rumbled on to its inevitable conclusion , the usual stumbling blocks of personal terms and transfer fee seem to have been overcome .
The owners of Man City , the Abu Dhabi United Group have spent a staggering £270 million in transfer fees alone in the last 3 years to now establish itself in the top four and may be the main challenger to win the league and European honours for a long tine to come.
They can buy anyone on their vast shopping list and have now obtained a top player from one of their main rivals for the main silverware this term .
This would suggest that Arsenal are in danger of going further backwards into the chasing pack than they already had after allowing Captain Cesc Fabregas re-join his boyhood heroes of Barcelona a couple of weeks earlier.
It has been said that you cannot achieve success by just assembling expensive parts and then hoping they mould together but , when you look enviously at the quality of their attacking line-up it is very hard not to see this method working. The owners will demand it and you can't see the money running out any time soon .

Nasri's former manager Arsene Wenger has now lost his two priced assets , but has £60 million to show for his ability to nurture young talent or make good players like Nasri into world class material .
With his due to contract to expire at the end of this 2011/12 season , Nasri knew that if Arsenal were to recoup any of the £12 million they paid French club Marseilles for him then now was the only time they could sell him to do so . When Nasri declared that he wouldn't be signing a new deal with Arsenal , their hands were ultimately tied and had to give up any attempt of keeping hold of him .
