Player thread: Samir Nasri (2014/15)

Re: Samir Nasri

Apparently the whole squad hates him and they cried and complained to Dechamps to leave him off the squad.

I think this is false. As a Frenchman and follower of Les Bleus, Ribery, Nasri and Benzema are very good friends. I wouldn't expect any different from our other players.

It was reported after the game against Ukraine, four players rumoured to be Giroud, Valbuena, Debuchy and Cabaye went to see the captain Lloris and requested him to ask Deschamps to leave him out of the squad.

How much of that is true, i don't know.

Re: Samir Nasri

France are well-stocked in the midfield area (Pogba, Matuidi, Cabaye, Ribery etc.) but still, Samir should at least be in the squad. No-one played well for them in the first Ukraine game. Seems that they took it out on Nasri only.

Re: Samir Nasri

Hmmm bad foul on him at Newcastle who have what seems like an 85% French team?

Just thinking maybe nothing..,.

Re: Samir Nasri

Surely the best French player this season. Their loss.

He hasn't performed as well for France though. I think the vital game against Ukraine away made up deschamp's mind. To be fair everyone had a stinker that day but nasri substitute, valbuena(spelling?) replaced him and did well

Samir doesn't always perform brilliantly for City but when he does, he shows his class.

I'm a biased **** so I don't post on serious footballing topics much but I think it's incredible that Nasri isn't in the French wc squad.

Since joining City we've won the title twice and finished 2nd. Coincidence? Non. ;-)

Re: Samir Nasri

Samir and Ribery are great friends, as both have come out and stated this year with Ribery endorsing nasri for making his International comeback and samir stating that Ribery should have won the Ballon D'or.

At work so no time to find the relative sources.

I

Nasri and Clichy are regular starters for the team that are champions of one of (if not the) hardest leagues in the world.

France deem neither to be good enough for their WC squad.

Looking at some of the players they Have deemed good enough, I find that remarkable.

Re: Samir Nasri

Im glad his girlfriend has come out with that, wish someone would say that about england.
Looking at the squad he has taken its obviously true that nasri is better than alot of players taken.
In saying that im sure nasri will still support his other french team mates........mabye lol.

Did they threaten to blockade the harbours?

Re: Samir Nasri

David Ginola not happy about Samir being left out, just said on talkshite it's a personal thing and Samir has grown up under Pellegrini and matured, knows him personally and is shocked by the decision
