Hopefully, shocking how long this guy has lasted at the club, he's one of the original youth flops isn't he?Quote:

your past two post clearly point out that you are not objective and rely on outdated perceptions. the facts are there to see.
So I'm not aloud to think he's sh*t, even though I've always thought so? So he scored a few goals, big deal, you mention a handful of matches, hardly an amazing contribution. Sorry but I'm glad we're not keeping him, he wasn't good enough for Liverpool or Chelsea, don't see why he's should be good enough for us either.Quote:

Let's not forget we lost two star midfielders last summer and he was one of the replacement's supposed to fill the gap left behind, what a sh*t deal for us.
Decent squad player.
Horribly inconsistent but not bad as a back up.
you can think what you like but when it is obvious his contribution has helped the team a lot this year, to keep on calling him shit just makes you look stoopid.Quote:

As a squad player he's an OK option, trouble is when you looked at our bench this season it was horribly weak, we need some game changers in the bench as well and he isn't really one of them.Quote:

Bennayoun is the player who actually should have been a regular to replace Nasri, he should never have been a "squad player".
Quite often this season we've lacked creativity and that's due to not replacing the players we lost adequately. Regardless of this I'm glad he's not sticking around, reckon we can do better personally.
id actually argue that yossi did more for us last season then nasri did in his final season. no one can deny nasri had an amazing run of form in novemeber/december, he was brilliant yet at the buisness end of the season he went missing. yossi didnt this year, he stood up and helped us get over the line. every club needs a yossi imo, someone who will work hard and will contribute almost every game.Quote:
