Exactly Nasri I don't think has had 10 good games for City.
I know they were meaningless friendlies but imagine if Isco arrived and put in the performances Nasri did in the US against Chelsea in two friendlies. People would be in universal agreement that we'd signed the next Iniesta and whatever we'd paid was an absolute snip. I can also guarantee that Isco's bloody wonder goal against Norway has added hundreds of flapping posts to this thread.
Whether Isco comes or not (I want him to), I think Nasri can step up this year, particularly with a father-figure manager like he had in his Arsenal days and hopefully without carrying injuries.
You also need to remember that the arrival of Navas means he won't be playing out of position most games in an attempt to give us width - a burden Silva wasn't lumbered with.
For all those bemoaning the fee of Fernandinho - maybe the board/management thought he was worth more because he represents a greater upgrade to our first team than Isco....here's a crazy thought, maybe Pellegrini wanted Fernandinho more than Isco.
Keep the faith.
