Clichy, Toure - should get a good response.Arsène Wenger wants Arsenal's supporters to show respect for the Club's former players when they return to Emirates Stadium.
Tuesday night's Carling Cup Quarter-Final against Manchester City may see Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy make their first appearances against the team they left in the summer while Kolo Toure could also feature.
Nasri? Sorry Arsene. He will get the appropriate respect, but the emphasis will be on 'appropriate'.
no hard feelings for kolo or clichy. both gave their all when here, never moaned, and you could always count on them giving every ounce of effort they could everytime they pulled on the shirt.
nasri is a judas money grabbing cunt and should get the respect that a judas money grabbing cunt deserves
Clichy and Nasri left for exactly the same reason.
The lack of intelligence shown on here at times is astounding.
The King Is Back.
I get the feeling we didn't want to keep Clichy. He certainly wouldn't have got into any better teams (it's surprising that Man City wanted him). With that in mind, and considering he did do some good time here (8 years) despite the likes of Real Madrid sniffing around in 2008, I don't think it's on the same level as Nasri. Same with Kolo - we were more than happy to take £16m off Man City for him. I don't think it's fair to assume Clichy was going for the same reasons as Nasri - whatever those reasons are - because there were not many options for Clichy. Nasri put in 3 good months and then fucked off - much similar to Hleb and Flamini. By all accounts, he had Man Utd available and I'm sure more top clubs would've been interested because he is a fantastic talent.
Personally, I wouldn't bother giving Toure or Clichy a good reception. I don't think they did anything extraordinary or unselfish. Similarly I don't think they were selfish and gave back to the club as much as they got. They're on the opposing team and we want to beat them - we won't make them feel unwelcome but we shouldn't make them feel welcome either. That is my view.
I don't have strong feelings against Nasri...he is just your average footballer. He probably didn't have the same attachment to the club that someone like Wilshere had (being involved with the club since 9). I would've hoped that he would have shown more loyalty to Wenger and the club but ultimately he didn't 'force' a move and was within his rights to leave wherever he wanted to. Am I glad that he is failing to make an impact and rotting on the bench at City and pissing away what could've been a glittering career? I'm not not glad.
Taken after hearing he was off to Citeh!
Not sure if I agree Nasri didnt force the move, as he sure as heck did not show any desire to stay either. . , people may say he was withim his rights but his obvious show of contempt nullified anu vote of sympathy. Wenger showed him respect, almost begged him to to stay but was treated in return with the same kind of kiss Judas offered his boss.
At the time I accepted Cesc leaving and was hoping Nas would stick around and pick up the pieces/mantle but in hindsight I neednt have bothered, we dont moss him, need him or want him. . .reaction to him tonight - Nasri. . .who?
nah clichy gave us 8 years of 100% effort, always gave his all when he pulled on the shirt, wasnt great towards the end same with kolo. leave with my respect and thanks for the effort they gave us. whenever those two were on the pitch you knew you would get 100% effort. thats all i ask for
nasri did fuck all during his time here, apart from the frew months last year he was average. slated the fans when he left, slated the club. he is a judas cunt. plus he was on verge of moving to united when citeh offered him 180k a week so he went there. he went for money so its correct to label him a money grabbing judas cunt.
Can't say I give much of a fuck about Nasri. His contract was up and fancied a move, it happens. If he's happy warming the bench then good luck to him. He's not worth wasting our energies on, he's not an Ashley Cole.
He's just another two bit modern day footballer. In 10 years we will forget this guy ever graced our club with his presence. Samir who?
Clichy may have been with us for 8 years, but did more in the time he was here then clichy ever did. He also Stalled on a deal when was offered one ad went running to city when he saw the money.
Kolo was just as bad and ade.
