Exactly when is Nasri at his best though? I think that's what people are asking. With a player on huge wages at a top club you expect a very good performance to be the norm, not the exception. Top clubs do not carry passengers who show up once every eight or so games.

How many good games does a top player have per season?

Its probably 5 tops

We as fans see things so differently to the management, as we look for different things to them. Zabba is a case in point. Its widely agreed on here he is having a great season. Yet the reason he is having a "great season" is because he is noticable in a way other players arnt.

Last season our players all clicked twice i think, spurs and the rags away, when every player was at the top of there game, that happens so rarely though.

As fans we are not privy to players fitness levels, mental states, personal issues and the like. Just because a lad plays football and earns loads of money for it, it does not ever make them exempt from the world we live in and sometimes as fans we see them as detached from real life and that is wrong.

We have all gone to work and not given our best because of outside factors and we have all performed poorly at work in our time.


You ask for a good perfrmance every week, nobody ever does that. The difference is how good is your players average performance and at our club our average performances are better than everyone in the Prem apart from the rags.

WHAT!

If they only play well 5 games a season there probably not a top player. Or under performing i.e Nasri.
 
Posted this January 2012 (over a year ago)and got a right slating for it, still believe it now.
"Bobby's First Big Transfer Mistake thread" Looking to me to be Nasri, not sure on everyone else's views on yesterday but when everyone else stood up to be counted I just got the feeling that Nasri was like the little kid at the back pushing the other's forward. It's obvious he's a class player player but he seems typical of the reasons Arsenal have bottled the big games and trophy attempts over the last 5-6 years.

He's probably still got a part to play in the team but on yesterday's showing (and others) I'd reserve him for the dead rubbers at home and away or when the team are going to park the bus and not put him in for those important games where we are going to need to fight..

I can understand why SIlva was taken off to rest him for the dippers game but I keep thinking "what if we'd kept Silva on" then could we have got that 3rd goal - one thing for sure is that Silva doesn't go hiding when the team really need to dig in.

He has been poor for most of the Season but he was far from the worst yesterday and I think its pretty bad that the Forum wants to single him ( and Garcia) out as the Scapegoat.

With nothing to lose now being so far behind I would like to see him play in a deeper role and Mr Mancini leave one of the holding Midfield players out.
 
Had a poor season so far to what he is capable of as have Yaya , Kompany, Tevez, Dzeko, Kun, Silva and Hart for that matter for various reasons.

He needs to sort out how important City and football in general are to him otherwise no matter who he plays for in the future his chances to show what he is capable of will be limited especially in the big games.
 
Tried to up his game cause he had a bet with Piers Morgan, sums the bloke up.

No co-incidence he suddenly tried harder after his little charity stunt, he didn't want to lose.

He won his bet, now he's back to picking up his wage and becoming a passenger again.

Soft shite, no bottle.

Thinks he's better than he is, a bout of what I call Bartonitis.

I agree.
We can't afford players of his standard if we're going to get to where we want to be. All clubs make mistakes occasionally, so no biggie...

Ship him out to the highest bidder in the summer, and recycle the cash.

This is a great post and is the reason why I hate Nasri so much. All the above players, despite a loss of form or how the team is playing, don't go hiding and accept their responsibilities and try and play. And all of them care about the blue shirt. You could argue that Tevez doesn't but even if he doesn't, he still has the professionalism and self dignity, when on the pitch, to pull his tripe out. This is something Nasri has never done. And it's not just his performances on the pitch either, he shuns the fans when they ask for autographs, he very rarely agrees to interviews and cares not one jot about this club. All Nasri cares about, is Nasri.

If you're going to defend him because he's "On a bad run of form" or "Is a big talent but it's just not working for him at the moment" then that's very laudable, but NO ONE can claim that he has ever done anything in a blue shirt that has amounted to a show of pride and passion for the shirt. And don't go on about the "headbutt" incident. That, if anything, personified how pathetic he is. A mock show of indignation after a foul that fooled no one. Red card or no red card.

As for comparing him to Richard Edghill. If I were Edgy I'd be deeply insulted. Edgy got terrible stick from the fans and looking back, most are embarrassed about it. If he wasn't our best player at that time, then no one could accuse him of not trying.
 
I remember the first interview with him on the club website, he was wearing a pair of ridiculous poncy loafers with no socks and jeans that stopped at his ankle. Looked a right dick. I knew from that moment he was a mistake!

According to Mancini he wanted him when he was at Inter but coulden´t get him so you´re wrong!
 
Nasri was a building blocks signing... Like Bellamy was.
A player you bring in to get you up one extra level on the ladder of progress.

But he isn't at elite club level. he was never going to be a mainstay of our future. He's done what was needed.

Now is the time to rid our hands of him, say "thank you for last year", and recycle the funds.

No time to wait for him to "come good".
