Samir Nasri {merged}

I'd be extremely happy to see Nasri sold in January/Summer, and we brought in Ben Arfa as his replacement.

Luckily, it's not you charged for our transfer policy then. Nasri is twice a player Ben Arfa is.

Bring in Isco

This all Nasri's slagging is gone too far I'm afraid.

Kompany did much worse thing in Real Madrid game that was probably more important than this one but he never got a shit Nasri got in last 2 days.

Some of you are just too obsessed with derby. I can imagine some hot-heads giving Nasri all kind of abuse in games to come, that will certainly help (not) him and the team.

I disagree. Kompany would have taken that full in the chops against Real Madrid, in fact it was probably harder for him to get out of the way of it, he squatted down. He thought Joe Hart would have had it covered. He didnt fanny out of it, it was an error.

Nasri won't go anywhere, Mancini obviously rates him. And even if he's not, he's on big money and can't be sold easily.

Is he really?

The Nasri who's done fuck all this season and pretty much hardly anything since he joined, the shit house who goes hiding when it get's tough and doesn't want to get involved? hardly puts his foot in and makes no effort? not exactly setting City on fire is he?

Granted, on his day he can be a good player. Note the words on his day blows hot and cold, nowhere to be seen.

Ben Arfa runs the Newcastle side like Silva does for us, you seen his midfield runs and sometimes his runs from the wing? not to mention his defence cutting passes and goals he's scored?

something nasri has hardly done at all. When does Nasri take players on, every 3-4 games? never does.

As is stands NOW Ben Arfa is better than Nasri.

 

[Mark - TheBlue]

Nasri and Silva is overkill they have the same properties as players so can't really compliment each other. Silva is better and if he was playing with a different player preferably someone with pace who he can play into dangerous positions and that player can in turn use his pace and ability to get past his man and create, even just using his speed to be played into a 1 on 1 situation.

But because they are so Similar its Silva to Nasri who turns and gives it backwards. Both good players just feels like both of them on the same team isn't needed.

Show me one video of Nasri giving a through ball half the quality of Silva vs Everton or United last season. Wherever, Marseille, Arsenal or Here.


I'm getting sick of repeating this but these excuses are too much too bear. NASRI IS NOT SIMILAR TO SILVA. NASRI IS A BETTER WINGER THAN PLAYMAKER (how sh*t he may be as a winger, he's even more as a playmaker). HE NEVER HAS PLAYED PLAYMAKER IN ANY CLUB HE WAS IN (winger at Arsenal, busquets type 6 at Marseille).

Why do the fanboys not admit that he has bad performances at his best position? Do you really want to waste two more years on trying Nasri as a playmaker, after wasting two of them on Nasri the winger?

I read above a comment saying Milner is prefered because he's English, well, if there ever was an ethnic element involved, it would much more be in favour of Nasri than Milner. I don't see the necessity to elaborate on that but everyone can understand my point.

I'm not a Nasri fan boy. When ever I see him play he usually ends up out wide and doesn't get very far. Like I've said i'd rather see Silva combine with a much faster player as I think it would benefit us more. We have failed in bids for Sanchez and Hazard I think Silva would play much better with these. Wont be arsed if Nasri is sold.

Ben Arfa runs the Newcastle side Silva does for us, you seen his midfield runs and sometimes his runs from the wing? not to mention his defence cutting passes and goals he's scored?

Yes, I did, MOTD's usually show the best things from some games. I've also seen him tackling himself against us in May.

Ben Arfa is good player but there is a reason why Newcastle is his biggest team so far, and Nasri played in strong Arsenal team and now in Champions City one, and there is a reason why Nasri is in front of him in French national team.

I've also seen Nasri's runs, quite few of them even in the last game in a period we made a pressure on rags that led to scoring two goals. Yes, he shitted himself on that free kick but Kompany did even worse against Ronaldo at Madrid but didn't get such a storm on Bluemoon Nasri did.

It's one second situation, instinct thinking and acting and can happen to anyone.

Nasri was integral part of a team that won title last season and is integral part of a team that fights for another this year. "Get rid", "he can fuck off", "bring this one on his place" many City players are getting after bad performance is arrogant as fuck and it's sign that lot of fans are heading to rags state of mind.

Players and transfer market are not 3 pounds industry to change them as soon as random Bluemooner thinks one is shit.

let me ask, would you prefer Nasri to play OR Milner set up along side Gaz Baz in midfield to push Yaya on in his better role, with Silva, Aguero and Tevez?

So, what you're saying is that Nasri isn't a pure winger and he has to be given a central role, which would mean either drop Silva or Yaya Touré. That would of coure be pure non sense but, before even thinking of a configuration where Nasri can play in a central role, I have simple questions:

What makes you think Nasri would be better as a playmaker than a wider role?

Is there a game where you have seen play good at that position?

Has he played well for all of Silva's injury time?

Has he ever played for a long period of time there at Arsenal and Marseille?

Does he have good vista and a great amout of assists (baring corners)?

Does he have the defensive skill to be played in a Pirlo role?

The answer to all of the above is a big no (feel free to contradict).

If you take out corner and set plays, Nasri has 31 assists in the 9 seasons he's been playing professional football for, including half in Ligue 1. Is that good enough for Man City's playmaker?

I often hear this phrase ''He's good at retention'' Who isn't when all you do is lateral and behind passes? Even a defensive midfielder would be criticized for that because he takes several touches and a lot of time to do it (because of his lack of technical ability). When you're a winger, it creates pressure on your defender.

I mean, have a look at Silva and Yaya. Whenever they do back passes, most of the time, it's one touch and it actually creates space.

some of you should listen to this man, HE KNOWS HIS FOOTBALL.

so does Mancini,so does Wenger-they both rate Nasri highly, as did fergie-scum who wanted him for utd.
Talented players often have periods where they don,t hit top form...see torres at chelsea for the last season and a half,its no reason to make knee jerk reactions and want them out of the club because "they,re not good enough" the mans a champion,form is temporary, nasri will always have class-ask the french national team.

For those of you who think he has to go and hasn,t got balls cos he didn,t man up in the wall which cost us a goal on sunday,do you also think Kompany should be dropped after ducking out the way in Madrid..?

get behind the lad, and stop wanting to kick players out the club after a bad game.moan,moan, fucking moan whinge...get behind the lads ffs!

I'm not really tactician so I avoid discussing team setups, tactics and stuff. That's what managers are paid for.

But I know Nasri isn't shit player and that he has it's role in the team that manager obviously wants and rates him enough to start him in most of the games. Mancini wants possession football and there's not many better than Nasri in possession stuff. Some of you wants him to run through the ranks in Messi style, Mancini obviously doesn't.

I don't think Nasri's City career was bad at all. Actually, I think that he was better than Silva in 2012.
