Why Samir Nasri was the perfect buy for us....

[Any1aBlue]

1) His departure (along with cesc's of course) has heavily weakened the creativity in this current arsenal team. Its absolutely incredible to think that just about this time last year, Arsenal were favourite for the title, but now they are almost a certainty to miss fourth spot. This move has tremendously reduced the threat of a title contender and one of the most brilliant attacking teams in the PL.

2) We prevented United from getting him causing them to have huge problems with creativity in their midfield. They have therefore, so often been forced to use their wingers as their primary form of attack play that just by nullifying them effectively or when they have an off-game, united just capitulate spectacularly. Examples of these would be the blackburn game (when nani was having a mare) and the newcastle game. This was also a primary reason for the culmination of the 6-1 as bobby identified this and made sure we negated their wingplay.

3) He is an absolutely world-class young midfielder who has incredible attributes - pace, creativity and the propensity for a wondergoal. Sure, he has not shown a fighting spirit when the chips have been down for us, but he has ALOT of potential and I have no doubt in the world that Roberto can mould him to be a world-beater for us in the coming years.

Looking at all of these points, 23 million quid seems like a steal for Nasri aint it?

These are just my thoughts... Please add on further if you will.

I have no idea whatsoever what on earth you base your statement that he IS ABSOLUTELY WORLD-CLASS - error of judgement here pal, so far he's looked a less than average, spineless, wimp and one of our worst ever buys.....................................he wouldn't get into the Utd team would he? Metomorphosis of astronomical proportions needed to change my mind on him after the FA Cup debacle.

He will become the player he can be in his 2nd season for us under Mancini. Mark my words.

Couldn't agree with you more mate. Makes me laugh how some of our so called fans slate him. I agree thats he's not been his best but he's clearly a player who takes slightly longer to settle.

Every footy player needs regular games to improve and he will get better the more games he starts. No amount of training fully prepares you for a match and the more game Nasri gets, his form will improve.

 

[Any1aBlue]

I really rate Nasri. I think he's a cracking player, and if we're patient and get behind him, I reckon he'll prove it.

This is Nasri at City we're talking about here - who are you referring to?

I'd support him if he was running his bollocks off putting in 110% every game but was badly out of form, its when you know the talents there but the players a lazy shithouse who offers absolutely nothing when the chips are down its frustrating, I wont boo him at the game or anything but on here he should quite rightly be getting slated because he has been the worst signing of the season so far.

I've watched Nasri for a number of years and I know he's a cracking little player, and he's been nowhere near as bad as some on here are making out. There's more to come from him, much more, and to write him off after a handful of games is way too premature imo.

How do you think he palyed when he came on against the dippers?

WE HAVEN'T GOT A 'HANDFUL OF GAMES' MATE - DONT YOU UNDERSTAND??!!! There's a Prem title to be won and every minute of every game is absolutely full on crucial & die for the cause...........................he and you need a damn good shaking.

You seriously can't expect a player to walk into a new team and be in full form, it even took Silva a while to settle. To write someone off this early is just baffling.

I think he had one of his better games for us but he was still lacking in penetration, as was the whole team to be fair. But overall he has been an incredible disappointment.

All our players lacked penetration against the dippers, although Nasri totally changed the game when he came on. You've got to give him credit for that at least?

(so at least you think he's improving ;-) )
