United looking to steal Gunners target

Manchester United are looking to steal star from under the noses of Arsenal.

After Real Madrid confirmed Nuri Sahin was to leave, Arsenal made it clear they were interested in a loan deal to bring the Turkish international to the Premiership.

However, Manchester United are looking to steal the deal by offering the midfielder a permanent move. The deal would cost United upwards of £16 million but would hurt the Gunners who thought they were closing in on the young playmaker.

Sahin made his name at German club Borussia Dortmund before moving to the Spanish giants last year.

Nuri Sahin is a Gunner and he is a perfect fit to Arsenal style of play which is total football.
The Muckys can't help themselves into going around sniffing out around done deals to sabotage.

Why does everyone seem to think Sahin coming to arsenal is a given? Just because in the fans minds it 'makes sense' doesn't mean that it is good business or even remotely possible. No big clubs loan a player for a year only to lose them the next. The situation might be different if there was a clause included that allowed for the permanent transfer of Sahin at the end of the season but apparently Real aren't willing to include that and Sahin appears to want to stay in Spain where he is likely on inflated wages even thought withering away on the bench. Stop being foolish and realize that Arsenal does not have a great deal to gain from the transfer besides developing a Real player at the cost of hindering the development of our own.

Which ever the speculation, Arsenal FC is poised to get on course in the ongoing transfer market. One thing is now clear: Other managers wait for Wenger to identify a good player for them but another thing is now obvious; Wenger is now tactical about his transfer issues.
