Samir Nasri

[mosssideblue]

Fucking great player, up to him whether he has the balls to fight for his place.

Totally agree. Would love to see him do that

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

stand in a wall?

Track back?

 

[Gabriel]

Other than that he may be slightly fitter than he was when he returned to work last summer, and that he has now had a year's experience of playing in Spain, I doubt the situation at the club has changed sufficiently to warrant him staying.

You could say the same about Sanchez the only difference is the goals. Apart from that nasri can do pretty much what Sanchez can do imo.

That's a pretty big difference and the key thing. Pep has stated we need a player who will score goals, if you're keeping Nasri instead of Sanchez or an alternative with the only difference being the goals then what's the point? He doesn't do the key thing Pep wants.

I don't know about Sanchez's skill with this but Samir can organize a strike and get a manager fired like nobody's business. Ask Raymond Domenech. (Btw, I'm not totally anti-Samir).

Oh yeah he's pretty good at doing the quenelle, a sort of anti-Semitic dab, if you will.(allegedly)

hardly a bad thing, domenech was personification of an idiot.

Strikes me as a nasty little twat. Don't think Pep would let him loose in the dressing room. History will record him as a wasted talent.

I don't see why Pep would take him on preseason if he wasn't interested in him at all.

Hoping that he ( Nasri ) shows some application and quality and helps to sell himself ?

Pretty sure Nasri is finished at City .

Potentially but I think Nasri is a known quantity and I don't think that any pre season games will sway a club either way on whether to buy him or not. He started off well at Sevilla but tailed off, that will be what he is judged on.

Pep wanted him to stay didn't he?

 

[Leech]

What's the latest on his drugs ban?

 

[BlueAnorak]

Very good player when he can be arsed. And therein lies the issue.

Lewis Hamilton and I both drive cars. The only difference is the Grand Prix victories.

Bang on and that's why I don't see him sticking around this season.

He's still banned from taking any

 

[BlueS]

He's still banned from taking any

and that's where i think sport will change in the future, i for one would like to see a coked up Sami in a break away drug league.

it's coming snowflakes. ;)

Said he did, so I'll be listening attentively to hear if the sentiment is repeated in August.

Fair enough, he's hardly likely to say he hopes Nasri left is he?

Nasri for me, happy if he stays not gutted if he goes.

Well I think Bravo was on spice last season so anything possible

I think Guardiola knows what he wants and what he does not. The fact that all four fullbacks have been released in one go shows, to me, that he's being far more ruthless than we've been accustomed and, assuming Sanchez (or a.n.other) signs, I think Nasri will be sold, too. I expect to hear Guardiola call him a 'top player', 'really nice guy', and say that he 'really wanted him to stay, but...' :-)
