Well that's exactly how he lined up at Inter and it was very solid defensively, but just as impressive, it was sharp in attack. He's notorious, for being a defensive manager, but his stint at Inter showed this isn't the case, he just needed the players to do so here effectively.
We lined up like this against Inter and it worked great. We also looked like that against Swansea until we switched to a 343.
So here, we've got Nasri playing in the centre as some of you seem to be craving. One prediction I'll have is he'll be better for us in the centre than he was at Arsenal. Reason being, he won't be burdened to carry an at times abysmal team with the quality around him.
Really think he'll play there to replace Barry in many games because knowing Mancini's history at Inter, it really seems logical. Sure it takes some bite out of our defense, but Barry'll get games. Not to mention, Nasri will joint the list of players that track back and also he along with Aguero will now make us threats on the counter.
Dunno why I just typed up this long post, must be the caffeine.
Anyways, here goes. And you guys that wanted him to play in the centre should now be appeased:
Does anyone think we'll be better with Nasri??

Looks like we could create some magic with that team.

Im lovin this11.com formation software!
Anyway, Silva and Nasri will be able to swap around from wide to middle.
No problem.
Nasri will be a great addition. We will also now (yes, I know we have yet to actually sign him) have the option to rest either one in some games.
Fantasy football or what!

Re: Re: Does anyone think we'll be better with Nasri??
Sounds and looks good enough for me that, we'll be alot stronger then last season for sure. The title was ours for the taking last season but so many needless points dropped cost us dearly and like someone pointed out when Silva was out we looked very poor creative wise. With Nasri a potential signing and Aguero a new addition we've got ourselves an extra 2 creative players so I honestly believe we won't fall short this season.

Lmao, this is your thread stating how Nasri will make us no better. Now you are telling us that having him as an extra creative player means we wont fall short. Do you change your mind daily?

There is a difference between being stronger and being better, being better implicates that you weren't good enough to begin with I believe we were good enough, being stronger implicates that you'll be of same class but tougher to break (in this case back up for needless suspensions/injuries)
