Pep talks a lot about team spirit. He's tackled Hart, Toure, Nasri who were 3 big players and personalities. Every other player must be looking round thinking 'I'd better work hard I could be next!'.I think Nasri may be getting some due to his lack of absolute effort, also most won't say it but he was right in the france revolt thing and his retirement, so easy to see he had his two pence worth with mancini and the rest of the voices in the dressing room. That is to say i find it no coincidence that Joe, Nasri, Yaya seem to be out. So his less than 100% attitude (came back unfit) and the fact he is not shy about causing a fuss (france thing) are traits pep does not suffer at all in a player.
A bit off topic but i honestly think Kompany will see this unfolding and pep will stare back at him as if to say 'yeah i'm the boss, one effing leak in the press, guess who is getting sold'. I like Kompany but he defo had a voice in the unrest behind closed doors, he was our captain and go to guy at the time so it would be folly to suggest he was not involved and therefore it will be known to Pep.

Absolutely! I'm sure Pep's focused minds!And those players had nothing in comparison to Ronaldinho & Deco who had won everything, repeatedly. When Guardiola jettisoned them, he had a captive audience in the locker room after that you can be certain
Totally agree. Mancini tried it with Tevez but Pep has a lot more clout!And if it has the right response, it can only be good for the team - good result !
Last season until he got injured again, his performances (Chelsea away for example) were a big factor in us holding on to 4th, and being able to rest players for CL games.
I've no objection to his being moved on, he seems to have an arritude problem, but he is no where as bad as some are making out.
Funny how people didn't obsess over mistakes from hart, Clichy and also tevez in the conceding of that goal.Nasri didn't exactly front up to the ball, he was always angled away from it. More to the point, why did Tevez walk off from the wall, as the ball would have just hit him if he'd have stayed there?
Regardless of the justification,Nasri is a target for criticism as a consequence of his persona,attitude and overall contribution.Funny how people didn't obsess over mistakes from hart, Clichy and also tevez in the conceding of that goal.
