Has Nasri been our biggest loss?

Really? Not one of them shares the work ethic,or consistency,Pep would demand,and all three are a huge drain on wages while occupying pivotal squad places.Somebody's gonna be disappointed!!! At least 1 of those 3 will not be leaving this summer.
I think it's more a style of play than anything else. Xavi and Iniesta are no more hardworking than Nasri. They just understood their roles better because Pep demanded structural rigidity. Part of that rigidity is so you always know what to do. Nasri will be just fine in such a system.Really?

Neither Xavi or Iniesta appear to have a huge chip on their shoulder,and,fwiw,i think they are far more industrious,as for quality........ to lump them in the same bracket as Nasri is insulting.I think it's more a style of play than anything else.

Hardworking, not quality. Gotze, and the other Spanish kid who followed Pep from Barca also are no more hardworking than Nasri. The system helps ythem. It will help Nasri too.Neither Xavi or Iniesta appear to have a huge chip on their shoulder,and,fwiw,i think they are far more industrious,as for quality........ to lump them in the same bracket as Nasri is insulting.
BTW, Nasri is far more industrious than Xavi, and as industrious as Iniesta. He did play DM at Arsenal and Marseiele you know.

Well,we'll have to disagree on his qualities,as i see nothing other than a player who is negative in his approach,who suffocates games and who posesses far more petulance than he does desire.

Our biggest miss is surely Kompany, however I feel Silva has missed Nasri. Them two are usually in sync with one another and can prove to be a massive handful. I don't understand why Nasri gets so much hate tbh.

I see this so often on here, what is it based on exactly? The only time ive ever been pissed off with him was during the derby a few years back when he ducked in the wall and van persie scored... Oh wait... yeah actually, fuck him... get him sold XD
If he stays fit, knuckles down and buys into whatever Pep is selling then he can certainly have a future here.
Like many others before it seems the longer the injury the better player he becomes in some minds. He's far from our biggest loss but he's an extra body who could have done an important job of stepping in with the rest of them dropping like flies.
