Samir Nasri

Looks like a briefing. The only reason I could think of is to try and get him to lower his wage demands for his next move.

By telling people he's a distruptive influence?

Nasri in being a bellend shock. Hold the back pages. This is why consecutive managers have shipped him off on loan to all those who were like "why don't we keep him?"

If one is consecutive, than fair play to you.

yep, no way city would brief this. It's probably his agent. Trying to push price down to get some signing fee.

For all the papers to have the same story sounds like a briefing. I can't think of any other good reason for doing it though

Why would his agent tell anyone he's a disruptive influence?

Are you unanimous in that view? ;)

Why would his agent tell anyone he's a disruptive influence?

if he has a deal with some club already but needs to push the price down, than it would make a sense.

A city source you say.....mmmm

Must be true the papers wouldn't make anything like that up for clicks would they?

If he has a deal elsewhere yes possibly, if he hasn't then it won't be the club or agent. Probably just the truth.

I wouldn't exclude the truth if it wasn't 3 papers at same time. One paper may find out about something but for 3 to run the story at same time, it's surely a brief. The only question imo is from which side but I can't see how is this good for City in any way. Doubt players are stupid enough to do it, it's surely not in club's interest.
