Well, I think most of the people here haven't seen Nasri's games with Arsenal or France National Team, except through youtube compilations. No wonder he is so overrated around here.
First of all, let me be clear to you. Nasri can't play as a CAM, even if his life depended on it. Yea, I know, he always says he would rather play there, but that's just an excuse for his irregularity. Each time he has played there, and he has a lot, especially with France and in his beginning at Arsenal, he was really bad. He doesn't have much passing skill and, as far as dribbles are concerned, he just takes at least 10 touches before beginning his dribble. You just can't do that as a CAM, no way he can be near David Silva.
Wenger is a really good coach about recognizing players skills, and he knew perfectly well that Nasri can't play as a CAM. As a proof, he only has 3 assists at Arsenal, and even his City ones are not through balls.
Now, let's head towards his game as a winger. You must know that he has been really bad there for most of his Arsenal journey. Even last season, he has been sh*t in 2011. And before that, he was also sh*t. Only the 6 first months of last season were good, but so were chamakh's one, it doesn't prove anything.
He also has had many behaviour issues and he looks to me as the most bad behaved player of our team, after maybe Balotelli. Even more than Tevez, and that's to say something.
I have always had this opinion about him, even before he signed at City. And objective Arsenal fans also had that one. Now, most of them do, thinking that Fabregas was the only main loss of theirs, while Nasri has been replaced.
Really, there is no way that player could have cost 20m£ with one year contract remaining, that's his actual price with a long contract.
