Samir Nasri

[TonyM]

IMO Pep sees Sanchez and Nasri as direct competitors (more than Aguero v Sanchez). So if we don't get Sanchez then Nasri will stay. And that's fine by me.

It's funny how so many people on here lapped up all the crap in the media about Nasri just as they did about Yaya in the past and at the same time can't fathom criticism of certain favorites. IMO they are all the same - more or less. Highly talented professionals with their own unique personalities. None are saints and none villains ( dread thinking back to The Barton Era).

Any hoot we'll see what happens in a few weeks.

That's the the problem with Nasri IMO, he doesn't, he's a bit of a shit house, no lesser shown with "that freekick", take one for the team!!

Kin ell, I even jumped defending a free kick in a Sunday league match on turn Moss and took it full in the face, sending me sprawling.

He can't even put a tackle in, though he does have good ball retention.

The problem with Nasri is his inconsistency and tendency to be a knob! No one doubted his ability, he can be as good as Silva on his day, but Silva is a solid professional where as Nasri is guaranteed to act like a cock at some point. I don't care how good he was, get rid. We have plenty of attacking midfield and creative players. He can do one!

You don't need tackling on your CV these days.

I think this is the most ridiculous comment I've read in ten years of Bluemoon. "As good as Silva". Jesus Wept.

Don't tell me...that "day" being the one when he scored against Chelsea.

Forget this "poor attitude" groupthink cliche you've all adopted from each other.

He's. Not. Good. Enough.

Nowhere fucking near. If you think Pep wants some "attacking" midfielder who's sole contribution is to trap the ball, look up and give it back to his centre half then you haven't been watching.

Where''ve you been DD? Missed your comments. Not sure you were entirely fair there with Gaudion M mind. He did say on his day

Agree about Silva but the rest of your post is mainly bollocks.

I don't know what Pep wants or doesn't want from an AM but I do know that there is a lot more to Nasri's game than your silly assessment.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Nasri is talented but his workrate is inconsistent and he can be disruptively moody which can upset the atmosphere in the camp.
Personally I would rather work with a smaller flexible group with the right attitude than a larger number that have a suspect attitude.

 

[BluessinceHydeRoad]

Nastiest is now 30 and Pep is looking to the future not the past. In the case of David Silva his attitude, his skill, his performances all show that it would be madness, unthinkable madness, to try and argue that he does not remain a vital and crucial member of the team, squad and future. Samir, on the other hand, has never been consistent at anything like David's level, returned to training after a serious injury overweight and appeared to accept a loan deal in an impetuous fit of pique at Pep. There's not a lot there to convince Pep that Samir should figure in the future. Especially when you look at the midfielders we do have.

Not sure what your point is. I clearly said on his day which is way back when we used to get decent performance out of him and at times he has been our best player even when Silva has been on the same pitch, but I'm taking about his best ever form rather than anything else, the rest of my post was slagging him off and saying we should get rid - how is that ridiculous?
