What is happening to Nuri Sahin loan deal?

Yesterday we were told that the club has sealed the deal to bring Nuri Sahin to North London. Today, we are getting reports that the deal has broken down and Liverpool is looking more likely to beat us for the signature of the Turkish international. If this is really the case, then I think the Arsenal management really needs to give the fans an explanation on how they could have let such an important deal break down in the last minute.
Personally I am a great fan of Sahin and have been campaigning for the midfielder ever since his name came up for consideration back in July. I think he will give us good cover until Wilshere comes back and better flexibility in deploying our midfield formations. I was really happy when it was revealed that he had chosen Arsenal and was looking forward to seeing him in action for the Gunners.



So you can imagine...
