Re: 20m for Nasri

The fact that a lad born and bred in the suburbs of Marseille and developed at the l'OM academy, has openly discussed PSG before and has his agent making fluttery eyes at them again, doesn't speak greatly toward his values and motivations does it !

Good riddance, let's hope PSG and Monaco have a bidding war for the soft surrender monkey:

EXCLUSIVE: Unsettled Nasri is PSG target as City midfielder plots exit
By Sami Mokbel
PUBLISHED: 22:30, 1 March 2013 | UPDATED: 22:30, 1 March 2013

Paris Saint-Germain are set to pounce on the uncertainty surrounding Samir Nasri’s future with a big-money summer swoop.

Manchester City sources have indicated to Sportsmail that the France international is keen to explore the option of leaving the Etihad Stadium this summer after a breakdown in his relationship with Roberto Mancini.

Nasri is said to have been shocked and angered by his manager’s decision to criticise him publicly last week.

And news of Nasri’s anger has alerted PSG sporting director Leonardo, who is a known admirer of the Frenchman.

The Brazilian failed in an attempt to snatch Nasri from under City’s noses when he left Arsenal in 2011.

And the mega-rich club want to revive their interest in Nasri when the summer transfer window re-opens, with the player said to be ‘more than open’ to the move.

PSG’s riches mean they will have no problems matching Nasri’s current £170,000-per-week wages, though City will want to recoup as much of the £24million paid for the attacking midfielder as possible.

Whether or not Mancini remains at the City helm beyond the end of the season, will be a factor when Nasri decides his future.

But with champions City keen to lower their wage bill significantly this summer, selling Nasri is unquestionably an attractive option for them.

Very true mate, sad thing is, when he chooses to apply himself he's a very useful player.


Re the 'shocked and angered' comment, well I'm 'shocked and angered' that Nasri is 'shocked and angered', Nasri's level of performance went way below the point where any decent manager backs a player struggling for form or for whatever reason.

He defines the term "mercenary". To think I really liked him when he first arrived.

I can't blame Mancini though, he bought him because he thought he had a shitload of ability which he does.
The problem is that he's a lazy twat who just can't be fucked anymore, something which no scout can predict.

Think both Mancini and Nasri are culpable. As you say, Nasri can't be arsed applying himself but at the same time, it's hard to fit both Nasri and Silva into a side with two strikers. We become seriously imbalanced.

Re: 20m for Nasri

If we had sold Tevez we would be seeing the best of Nasri IMO. He plays best behind the striker I think and that's where Tevez has been playing.

Nasri isn't a winger and Silva isnt but when we let Silva roam and let Nasri as well they both suffer.

Doubt so. Nasri can't be arsed, no amount of starts can motivate a player who wouldn't give a fuck.

Tevez gives 110% every game, scoring or not scoring. I know who I would pick.

If you're talking about backing Nasri, well I can say for a whole lot of us that we backed him for a long time. Obviously, we want to be able to love Nasri.

We can stand a player that's not on form, but we can't stand a player that doesn't give 100% every game.

Re: 20m for Nasri

Most would agree he has not fulfilled his potential with us, but most would also agree when he is up for it, he is a bloody good player. I also think his best position is central midfield, where he gets more involved in the game.

I wonder if this isn't another shortcoming from Bobby's love of playing players out of their "natural" position. I'm from the camp that thinks Balotelli was a No.9 center forward, and should have been played as such, same with Dzeko, who imo is a "blunt instrument" type striker, and should always be in or around the box, and never leave the shoulder of the last center-half.

I don't think Nasri is a wide player, he certainly goes missing when he plays with Silva (with the exception of Newcastle away recently) and think he would be better employed in the middle.

That said, it wouldn't bother me if he went, as long as he was replaced with Sanchez :)

I was thinking this,but he's already been hung on here.It's clear to see he's being played out of position and his progress has been halted with us.Suppose most of the fickles changed their minds about Garcia after one game against Chelsea.

right! even if he gives this impression of being lazy and slow ( opposed to milner) i think his best position is behind the striker ( tevez position) and silva & nasri aren't wingers that makes the 4-4-2 more 4-2-2-2<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:09 am --<br /><br />

That's right Tevez always giving even when he isn't in a good form at least he try & not hide

Re: 20m for Nasri

I've argued with people who didn't rate Nasri since forever as I rate him and don't think he was as bad as some were saying. But anyway, that's fair, people have different opinion about players and that's what football forums are for. Not good, not rate him, want him sold... ok, nobody will ask me or you for such decisions but of course we can have them.

However, the big change of attitude toward Nasri happened after derby wall thing and I find it pretty pathetic and small mind to give all kind of shit to player for making "part of the second decision" mistake just because those that are doing it felt uncomfortable meeting their rags work colleagues day after.

There's life beyond rags and as much as I hate them I think some people here are too obsessed with them and I have lost some respect for people who are going for Nasri's head for that. You might be on 100 Yorks, I don't care, but that's pretty disgusting behavior.

Nasri suffered some serious abuse from other clubs fans from day one he joined City, Arsenal fans were almost physically attacking him, Liverpool ones were taunting him while he was driving his car on the road, won't even start about online abuse and insults he was getting etc, etc...

the amount of pressure he was on since he joined City was huge and then on top of that in one second, after one mistake that happens pretty much every weekend around football globe even City fans turn to same stuff about him, to launch same abuse and insults he was hearing by arsenal ones in year prior that.

What's worst, barely anyone noticed what happened on that free kick vs rags until Daily Mail, big City friend :sarcasm: launched another character defaming article about him and lot of City fans failed to their trap completely and got player who is pretty much fucked up and lost for the rest of the season with his sale value getting lower as we speak.

And all that for one fuck up. Naivety at it's best. But hey, some rag took a piss the other day, it's deserved.

Give him a fucking rest. if he is set to leave let's at least take some money for him, if not he'd certainly not get better with this level of abuse and insults.
