During the Bolton Wanderers game Nasri was pulled inside after the
break in order to offer some creativity through the middle. On giving
his reasons as to why he made the switch, Wenger is quoted by the

Arshavin though may help the side in this department. A bid of £10
million has reportedly been rebuffed, but the two clubs remain in
negotiations.
