Player thread: Samir Nasri (2014/15)

[I'm no cynic but...]

Re: Samir Nasri

I just wonder why they bother, he's a footballer who left the team to play for another team. Hardly a rapist is he? Transfers happen all the time, you don't hear most fans booing someone because they moved.

I'd understand it more if he moved to a local rival, but there's not all that much hatred between arse and city, not like there would be between us and United for example.

Anyone would think that Nasri was a product of the Arsenal youth system when in fact he wasn't. He was already a French international at senior level with Marseille and he moved to Arsenal for the same reason he later joined us. Arsenal fans are the bitterest bunch of hypocrites in the game.

Apart from a 3 month purple patch he's been like that all his city career. Not worthy of a start at the moment for me. Hope he gets his mojo back but it's been a long time gone.

Nasri is always spineless against Arsenal. It's been years but he still has a massive chip on his shoulder and seems half his media interviews he's giving it out to Arsenal fans about how he was justified to move here and how he doesn't let the abuse get to him but then he steps on the field, gets booed and does let it get to him and just vanishes for the whole game. I wouldn't even bother putting him in the squad for the away games to Arsenal because it's a waste of a space.

That's a bit harsh; he was generally pretty good last season. Always shit against Arsenal though, which is strange as you'd think he'd have a point to prove.

Re: Samir Nasri

Trouble is he's shown opposition fans that if they get on his back he caves in.. Expect more of the same unfortunately.

See my backbone comment.

He had more good games than bad last season,however,his inconsistency is so frustrating because,from what I can see,its more down to his attitude than his ability.

Ive certainly found my Isco fallguy;-)

Re: Samir Nasri

Whilst im a huge fan of Samir, I think its plainly obvious he lacks the menatlity to play v Arsenal. He seems to struggle when the boo boys get on his back, rather than using it to motivate him to better.
