Do we really need nasri? Our midfield looks pretty good, and as for silva, he is twice the player nasri is.
Or Is it just the fact we'd be taking him from arsenal??
Different players. Silva is a passer, a searcher, moving the ball around the pitch; Nasri is a carrier, a dribbler, he injects pace!
And yes we absoltely 100% need him. We wont win the league without the extra pace on the counter attack, especially away from home.
P5 W0 D2 L3 F1 A7 Pts2/15 against the other top six sides in the Prem last season. Silva, Tevez, Mancini didn't do anything to make any impact on picking up more points than just two and having no more than five shots on goal in all five games (this is no exaggeration!). We need Nasri!
P5 W1 D2 L2 F3 A5 away from home in the Europa Lg last season against some average and some shite teams. In the Champions Lg we need to do better than that. Nasri will be an option to do things we can't do with the players we currently have. We actually have no player like Nasri in the whole squad!
Do not get carried away about how good we are. We only won the FA Cup, don't think like we don't need to improve because we do! We only beat an unfit and understrength Inter in a pre-season training game, don't think we don't need to improve because we do!
