Mourinho Gives Sahin’s Arsenal Move Green Light

As Real Madrid’s Nuri Sahin edges closer to a move to English giants Arsenal on a season-long loan deal, the young Turkish has been given his manager Jose Mourinho’s blessings, who is happy to see the midfielder go and gain some much valuable playing time.
After joining the Galacticos last season from German champions Borussia Dortmund, Sahin has been starved of game time as he played a minimal role in Madrid’s march to the league title. With the playmaker’s place destined to be on the bench for the coming season again, it was the wisest choice to loan him out to a top European club where he can get some valuable game time.
Arsenal too are looking for a playmaker after Jack Wilshere’s return to action was delayed until October. As the Gunners close in on Santi Cazorla, they are looking at Nuri Sahin too to further bolster their midfield. It looks like this loan deal will benefit Arsenal, Madrid and Sahin himself.
Speaking to the media, Mourinho said, “The point is, he’s a young boy, he wants to play every match,
And in Real Madrid with Xabi Alonso, with [Sami] Khedira, with Lassana [Diarra], [Esteban] Granero, [Mesut] Ozil, the situation is not easy.
Real Madrid is very difficult. It is not an easy club, because we demand a lot. We have great players, and when you don’t start well, it is difficult to do it.
If he stays, he’s not a problem for me, he’s one more solution. We leave [the situation] in his hands. Be happy.
Decide what you want to decide, to be happy. If you decide to leave we are going to help you to leave. If you decide to stay, we are going to support you and try to succeed this season.”

I would be happy to see this two players( Nuri Sahin and Cazorla) join Arsenal..They would be a force in our Midfield..Will also be happy to see either M’Villa or Capoue join too..

WE NEED ATLEAST 2 SOLID DEFENDERS…PLEASE YOU GUYS SHOULD TELL MR. WENGER
Welldone mr wenger u ar a gud manager and a change man indeed bt we need defenders.Gunners 4 life
goog job wenger, now go for two defenders
To be onest,i don’t agree on loan players joining the club,whats the point in singing a player for a season ?,than he’ll go back to his club a better player( if utilized,anyway),only if a deal is signed that we will have an option to sign him permanently( in my opinion ) will i sign a player for for a season,apart that ,its a waste of time
I think wenga is bck 2 im oldsef by nw signins.up gunx
good job wenger bt we need 2 defnders gunners 4 Life
The comments jose mourinho made were comments in general
On sahins decission to stay or leave.. He did not say “You hav my blessing to go to ARSENAL”n
On the contrary he offered his support if sahin decides to stay.
Please title ur articles more responsibly… We Arsenal supporters deserve
Responsible accurate reporting.
Weldone mr wenger
Just need song,ar eta,carzola and wishere to be fit 4 us and our midfied will be a bomb.
nice gose ,SAHIN makes ARSENAL be fantastic, CAZORLA makes ARSENAL be sweatest VAMPERSIE makes be champioun. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
If the loan arrangements mean a transfer at the end of the season, we should take Sahin asap. It would mean that Song could be released for a fair price. song is OK,IMO,but we could do better.
Sahin is going nowhere he to fight for his place
What a poor peace of reporting…. What a poor article..
Nuri Sahin has not mentioned arsenal once nor has jose.
Does this article pass for transfer news??? Its been milked.
Don’t be fooled gunners!! M’ville is more likely to come than injury prone Sahin
isnt this old news?
Old news !!
This information was posted weeks back.
Next time try to become more informative.
Anything to prevent Ramsy from playing in an arsenal shirt is a good thing.
The more midfielders the better !
Ramsy can go hang himself !
Welsh prat speed did it. Why can’t Ramsy ?
How come we must tolerate useless British and welsh players yet other clubs get to buy proper ones.
Hopefully with Wilshire and Ramsy side lined and wilcot injured we have a new non British arsenal team for this season!
That is a good thing.
That’s how teams win trophies !!
Death to Ramsy !!
Disgusting !
How can you say that to our players or to any player?
Yes Ramsy is rubbish in every way but to wish harm to anyone is unforgiving.
He is an arsenal player and must be supported even if he is one of the worst players to ever wear the shirt.
It’s not his fault for being crap.
That’s the best he is.
It’s the managers fault for playing him!
I salute d prof 4making a massive signing
