Player thread: Samir Nasri (2014/15)

[Deleted member 58678]

I really like Samir. He's one of my favourite players. Can't wait to see him under Guardiola.

 

[Deleted member 58678]

He'll have to get in better physical condition if he wants to play a part. But then, I suppose he knows that and the same could be said for the vast majority of the squad.

Easily one of the most gifted players in our team.

Loads of them will.

I think Yaya Kun deBruyne and Nasri have all carried too much fat. I think the midfield engines of the two Fern's are wanting come the 60mimute mark (both blowing out of their arses in the second halves of both Madrid and Arsenal home games recently) Sterling and Navas are really physically weak, and everyone seems really injury prone and I don't think it's a secret why. They haven't been fit enough. Almost every team we've played has outworked us.

This will be the biggest change of all in Guardiola's first year.

I think the challenge will be on the players. Chances are they'll be made well aware of the expectations and Guardiola will be able to see for himself within the first week whether or not each player is up to it.

Watching the Inside City training videos, it just looks like a kickabout between mates rather than actually getting them to graft.

Since Mancini left and we hired Mr Diplomat, the impression I get is that there's more of a desire to keep the players happy than to keep them fit.

If he goes into next season with some fire in his belly and with Pep coaching him he could be brilliant for us.

It's certainly not fire he has in his belly as the moment!

there is a reason he isn't in French squad.

I doubt Pep will have him anywhere near his first team.

unfit crab with no fight.

everyones entitled to an opinion, he has i would imagine the best ball retention in the squad, i think we miss him when he doesnt play his 1 touch football with silva and yaya has been a joy to watch IMO

You serious about inside city training videos

You know full well he is not in the french squad because he retired 2 yrs ago after a fall out with the manager

 

[Proy]

He's overweight. No doubt about it.

He's also a slapped arse.

I get the feeling those 2 things will not sit very well with Guardiola.

Ability wise he could probably do a job, but I think he could well be one of the first out if he doesn't get into shape.

Remember he's not in the Euros. If he comes back a fat mess then he may as well bring his resignation as well. Needs to use the summer wisely I would suggest

Amazing

Amazing

Why?

 

[Utter bobbins]

Why?

What you want them to show, our training methods or perhaps them running through set moves Match day set ups etc etc

Well obviously I don't expect them to show every single aspect of their careers and they are professional athletes so they do a bit of running. I just think that, in comparison to other teams, there's generally a slower tempo.

It is good to see them have a laugh, though.

I'm sensing sarcasm masking either disapproval or apathy.

I actually think Samir has been good when he plays and think he is a shoe in to be a starter with Pep. Really good interview well done lad.

Not really its a light hearted video about what goes on on a weekly basis for fans, most really don't care if they are blowing out of their arses

Samir will be a key player under Pep.

I agree with both of those statements.
