I often hear arguments that it tells us something about a player that no one is competing to get him ...but I think in this case it tells you more about the craziness of "group think" that Nasri isn't in huge demand by the likes of Everton, Southampton, Stoke, Burnley, Bournemouth, even Liverpool or Spurs, etc. Even at high wages I doubt that he's unaffordable for any PL club post TV-deal (surely a signing-bonus would take care of they cost above their wage ceilings).

We got Anelka when we were poor. He had a reputation of being a sulk but it was mostly irrelevant because he did his job great.

When you think of the level of player at some of the other PL clubs, more fool them.

(Same with Mangala)

In truth, just imagine if a team were to sign Sagna, Zabs, Clichy, Navas, Fernando, Hart, Caballero, Mangala, Delph, Kelechi, Nasri, Nolito, Kolarov. I reckon that lot would achieve a top 8-10 finish.

If they did, Kelechi would be Prem poty & Golden Boot winner.

He'd have to pass to himself like the invisible striker in Billy The Fish, in order to score goals amongst that lot.

I like Nasri. Very good player. Hope he gets his head down and gets on with it, would be like a new signing.

Same here. He's done well in pre-season and been noticed by Pep but he seems adamant that Nasri's off. Whether that's down to incoming signings, Samir wanting away last season or something else, who knows.
 
Can see another loan with us paying good part of his salary. Roma was an option for him but they are getting Mahrez probably...
 
Ligue 1 side Nice have emerged as a frontrunner to sign midfielder Samir Nasri (30) from Manchester City. [Daily Mail]

If Nasri was to join Nice, he'd be reunited with former City teammate Mario Balotelli in France.

Manchester City are hoping for a fee of around £10m for Nasri. [Daily Mail]

I'm not sure he would want to go there given his relationship with the french media

Nice are great at rehabilitating bellends though, that's become their thing. If they can get Ben Arfa and Balotelli playing then they should be able to do a job with Nasri
 
Available at 10m and PL mid-table teams will pay double for dubious unknown quantities and same-old journeymen. Ridiculous.

Everywhere. We left Toure out remember. Nasri was told he wasn't going to be a regular which he couldn't accept.

Yeh it said he and others were left out of the qualifying round squad but could be added if City progressed. All the players named as left out were either injured or unfit. Either way, it was Nasri's choice to leave & to be honest I don't recall this ever being said as a reason for that.....

Mangala was not unfit. Bony was not unfit. Toure was not unfit.

It was fairly well publicised at the time that Nasri did not accept being a squad player, I don't know how you missed it.

The Frenchman was initially banished from first-team training by Guardiola after returning for pre-season overweight, but says he was later offered the chance to be a part of the coach's plans.

"Guardiola told me 'with your qualities you should not be at Manchester City, you should be at Barcelona,'" Nasri told French television show L’Equipe du Soir.

"We had some discussions, he wanted me to stay and play for him. I told him 'no' because he couldn't assure me a first-team place. I wanted to play."

those unknown quantities are not earning about £150k per week though

True but you'd think their highest earner would be on 75k these days so a 4m signing bonus would cover the difference. That would make him affordable by anyone. I can't imagine that Nice could afford more than a club like Crystal Palace these days.

If for example Liverpool lose Coutinho to Barca they could struggle to get anyone better than Nasri to replace him. And at a quarter of the price when you think Coutinho is probably not far behind in wages.

Probably better for us that he leaves the league but it's very strange. Like I say I put it down to "group think".

When will his doping case be dealt with? Can't see any club signing him or paying a loan fee until then

Thanks for the info, it all makes a bit more sense now..
 
Nasri is a sintom of what´s going on in City with this "Gentleman´s posture" with everybody. This is business and competition, not charity. We see this in the transfer market but also with the Nasri siuation. This guy doesn´t want to leave and lose money, so it´s simple: Put him training alone on a bad schedule. Not with youth, but alone. If he misses a training session, he pays, if start to be a douche, he pays and so on. He need the Schweinsteiger treatment. If you dont want to go, you are our merchandise and will do you with you what we want. The same with Bony and Mangala. It´s time to be the hammer, not the nail. Pep and Txiki need testosterone pills to act like a man and put this 3 on a nightmare, that they eventually undestand it´s better to leave.

Might put other players joining us though on the downside.
