Nasri - future captain/vice captain material
I slagged this guy off for over 18 months because he simply flattered to deceive and always took the safe option in my opinion. He's proved me badly wrong.
He has been superb for over 12 months, although his technical prowess has never been in question.
For me, he is now showing all the hallmarks of being a proper captain. He is thriving with the responsibility of being one of our main go-to guys in the last year.
He's a winner, he speaks passionately and candidly about the club and the team, he tells it how it is.
It's a decision that would surely never be made, because Komps is the figurehead, but I feel Nasri is more of a natural leader than him because he doesn't try to be someone he isn't, whereas, I feel Komps has become slightly effected and pays lip-service to the role, and it subsequently impacts performance?
Nasri is a bad loser and has the street fighting smarts of the ports of Marseille to back up is talent and mouth.
At very least, would Blues consider him a decent vice-captain, in light of the new contract he signed last year?
Regardless, Nasri deserves huge credit for turning his City career full circle and proving clowns like me wrong.
