Just corrected your little typo there.
Amusing how loads of you will invent nonsense and twist facts to try and insult someone that simply didn't want to play for us and had no attachment to the club whatsoever.

Let's put it this way, he's either a calculating bastard who knew how to get the most money after playing out of his skin for a few months then stop caring once the move is arranged or he's a horrendous bottler who can't do it once there's a smidgen of pressure, my money's on the former.
Are you new here?

Also, why didn't he have any attachment to the club? He's not a local lad but the fans sung his name loud and long last season, even when he stopped playing well, which he did. City aren't the only side who will challenge for trophies this year. They are the only club who will drive a sodding great truck of money to his house every week though. I don't have a huge problem with him going but let's not pretend it was for some noble reason. He had half a good season and wanted double the money.
I agree that he only had a very good half season and when the pressure increased in the new year, he either bottled it or showed that he's not as good as some think he is. Nevertheless, we'll find out the truth when he plays for City whether he's the real deal or just a half decent player capable of sporadic moments of brilliance.
No, he didn't leave for noble reasons but he is more likely to win trophies at City, no doubt about it.
Let's break down why the arguments made above against Nasri are wrong, innit.
1. Fans sing for all players, let's not pretend like he'll get any less support at City if he puts in the same level of performances.
2. 'wanted double the money'. No basis in that. If you've been naively misled by the press who claimed his reason for not signing was due to money (a few have on here) then the claimed amount he wanted was 110k per week when we were offering 90k. He was on 70k odd (again according to the press).
3. If he was truly a money grabbing c*nt as claimed, he would have played out the last year of his contract for us, picked up a 10M+ signing bonus for any club he desired next season and still have seen the same wages (or higher, most probably).
4. In the three times he's spoken about why he wants to leave, all have been about ambition. There's no doubting that Citeh have shown more ambition than we have this season. He said if Wenger bought players he'd stay, Wenger didn't so he left. Clichy joined them for the same reason.
5. For the silly people above asking 'if he wasn't interested in money why didn't he go to United' - well two reasons. a) They hadn't made a concrete bid for him at the amount we wanted and b) Wenger probably didn't want to sell one of our only world class players to United. We seem to have no problem selling to Citeh, probably because they tend to overpay.
6. The comments he made about how our home support is bad... that's been mentioned a few times in the press and is generally seen as valid. Let's not forget he's moved to a new club and has probably been asked biased questions; he also wants to fit in with Citeh fans.
We're stuck with the club because we support it, so we have to 'accept' frustrating things like lack of additions to the team, the year after year selling of our better players etc. Players that play for the club don't.
Nasri plays for Citeh now so I don't want him doing well but I honestly don't see the need for some of the inaccurate comments on here and unnecessary stuff hoping he breaks his leg etc.
Let's not forget Henry left the club after just two seasons of being trophyless; Fabregas stayed six years more. He's another that shouldn't be criticised. If all the comments made on here about players leaving us were true, we have a collection of some of the most disloyal players to ever set foot in the game, which is difficult to believe of course.

Yeah the breaking leg comments are pathetic, especially considering what has happened to Arsenal players in recent seasons. I don't rate Nasri as highly as some do, and I hope he fails at City, but I would never want anyone's leg to be broken. Like I said, I don't like the way Nasri failed to show up in the second half of last season and not taking responsibility for that reflects badly on him, but some of the hate towards him is excessive. Moreover, at least he took part in our preseason campaign, despite informing Wenger he was going to leave in early July. Moreover, he performed well against Liverpool, despite knowing he was leaving. This doesn't make up for the fact he let us down last season, but people need a sense of perspective. Cesc deserves more opprobium poured on him IMO, given he feigned injury to avoid turning up for preaseason.
Agree. The leg break comments are despicable and unnecessary. That's why I went for him breaking his back. If even I can be sensitive about these things then I'm thinking everyone else can make an effort!
Für eure Sicherheit
They don't actually. I do go to games you know.
Nasri's song was by far the most prominent of last season. Very few players have 'songs' right now as we don't have many heros out there.
Thought it was clear that I mean players of Nasri's ability (assuming they're putting in the performances, ofc). Doubt Eastmond gets too many fans singing about his (lack of) talent.
