We are missing him at the moment , his slightly more direct style and his 1-2's with Yaya unlocked games like those we have played recently. In games like the Leicester one he is the player who could have done something different and turned the point in to 3. He is a player who should be so much better than he is but I would love to see work with Pep!
He's not been the same since it was revealed on here that Vince had been working a piece into his betrothed.What's his absence actually down to, being too fat in pre season, a broken knob & heart (if he had one) or a dodgy trace in his Oui?

Not really. He fucked off Deco as one of the first things he did at Barca and he was twice the player Nasri is. Same for Ronaldinho. I've no idea where this myth that Pep likes lazy technical players with questionable attitudes comes from? If anything, he's shown the complete opposite and is very keen to get rid of the big ego's, regardless of talent.That's an interesting point. Samir is a highly skilled footballer, who sometimes has an attitude problem. For his raw talent, he does underperform for us too often. He's exactly the kind of player Pep could turn around.

I don’t think Nasri has a future with us. He was a great acquisition at the time and has played his part in the success since. However, he has not kicked on in terms of his all round game and he was never the quickest of players, if he loses any of the pace he had and continues to lack discipline then I just don’t see where he fits in. I would suggest both Silva and KDB are better playmakers / passers of the ball and Sterling is a more effective wide player. It is only Navas who I think he could replace but that would be a big step down in pace. All of Sterling, KDB and Navas are more reliable defensively.
I never liked the purchase, I thought we were ripped off. But on the balance, he is a pretty good player. Great in possession, fantastic movement off the ball, and hustles more than he gets credit for. Not a very energetic player going forward, and his topspeed isn't great. But he is a quality role player.Might be an unpopular opinion (especially after today's win) but we have really missed Nasri this season.

Ripped off? 24m wasn't it?I never liked the purchase, I thought we were ripped off. But on the balance, he is a pretty good player.

I want to see Nasri in a Pep system. His on and off ball skills plus movement in attack should shine with Pep, IMO.Ripped off? 24m wasn't it?
Pretty good price imo. Considering the form he was in before we purchased him also, was excellent in the season before we bought him.
I like Nasri, will be interesting to see if he is still here in the summer.
I tot 24 million was too much for a player with 1 year left. And seeing how they bad ripped us on Toure and Adebayor, I wasn't really bid on getting another player from Arsenal. Besides, I though Mata would have been a way better fit, seeing as he already had a relationship withour Silva, and it was clear his club wanted to move him.Ripped off? 24m wasn't it?
