Must say I'm very surprised how opinions about given players change following the fact the player is in your team or not.
I always found Nasri overrated when he was at Arsenal and didn't want of him, and don't expect me to support him over one of our own lads. And that was the opinion of most people around here.
The day Nasri signs at City, he should become a fantastic player who is as good at the winger position as in the midifeld and whose minus points become plus.
What if Rooney had signed last year, he would suddenly be considered as the best player in the league? Same with Ferguson?
I don't like them, and don't expect from me to like mercenaries who come and go from one rival team to another.
I didn't like neither of Tevez and Adebayor, and we saw the consequences of signing players with no ethics like them. Still apreciated Tevez beccause he gave something to the club, and if Nasri can do the same, why would I pray for him to fail. I think he will fail, because I have seen enough of him for years (even saw him play at Marseille unlike most you, where he actually was really fine at a Xavi-like position) to say he won't. If he can have world class performances (Silva, Tevez of last season type, Yaya Touré because under that, it's not worth it having signed someone from Arsenal), I won't mind coming on this same forum and say that I was wrong and I should have supported Nasri.
A part from that, I precised I myself don't think I have a relevant enough opinion to post on other subjects. I read most of em, and when I have something interesting to say, I certainly will. I can see coming the troll who will say that it's not what I'm doing here, which I wouldn't care about because I post after my own judgement of what I want to say?
As far as the Alves stat is concerned, some people still haven't understood my point. Basically, I think Nasri is really bad at central midifield and saying he is better there is an excuse for when he plays bad. Some of you answering that he has lots of assists, I just showed that stat that Dani Alves is the best assist-maker for years but I don't think he would be good in the central midifield, would he?
The time statement is obviously about the good performance he put up recently, which I didn't think he would, and my posts were prior to that performance. And I really was angry about how bad he played and some still tried to find irrelevant excuses, that are still irrelevant today and most probably will always be.
De Jong, Have I ever said he shouldn't be playing at City? No.
BTW, BlueGun just lost a bet. What Am I gonna get? =)
