The Hated Footballer Who Abandoned His Own Team To Win Trophies

[@chandrachursahoo2299]

Nasri was a beast. I enjoyed watching him play as a kid. So graceful and mercurial. If only his injuries and attitude were better, he'd have been so much more. Nevertheless, a treat to watch and a gem of a footballer.

[@ketahoer23]

Quicksilvery

[@theoph1932]

Don't know why Nasri got all the hate. In the same summer, he still played the Liverpool game a few day before his move to City at risk of injury. Meanwhile 'loyal captain' Fabregas abandoned Arsenal, refused to train and play to force a move then use his own pocket money to break his contract for Barcelona move. And Arsenal fan went attacking Nasri.

[@arsenal_84]

Was more disgusted with Fabregas behavior to force the move to Barca. For Nasir, he is more of looking for a better contract while arsenal was debt ridden with the new stadium.

[@exitthelemming145]

Have to agree with what is a minority view. I certainly had little affection for Nasri but do recognise he was more honest about his leaving Arsenal than Fabregas, who shamelessly engineered a move away to boyhood club Barcelona.

[@pk_1]

They were BOTH SNAKES! Even more so because nasri left for the money and SLATED us saying he left to win titles. With Fabregas we all had a feeling he was gonna leave especially when Pepe Reina put the Barcelona shirt on him at World Cup 2010

[@exitthelemming145]

[@christianopalladino]

Back in the day, when attacking midfielder is still a thing. People looking for the next Zidane knowing he gonna stop playing one day. Now, every attacking midfielder will force to play on the wing or false nine or a number 8. Miss the good old days.

[@metallicbigtoe3949]

Great player in his day but he was never going to be Zidane from the outset as Zidane was a physical and dirty player on top of his class, Nasri definitely lacked that part to his game

[@windchimesilo9623]

Zidane always did what needed to be done. Nasri had loads of talent, but it was always like watching a boy play. Zidane had the talent, knew when to use it, but also knew when strength came into play. Physically and mentally.

[@metallicbigtoe3949]

@windchimesilo9623 yeah he could be brutal at times Zidane but it made him even better as a player. I wasn't surprised one bit during the 06 world cup final.

[@dan_swann]

Great point, Zizou was taller and a more impressive physical specimen. That being said, Nasri had amazing close control, great feet and an eye for goal. Nowhere near enough to put him in the Zidane bracket (or even Ribery for that matter).

[@Game4ALaugh]

I instantly thought of Mathieu Valbuena in that Marsellie team. Can't think of one without the other. 😊

[@notitleproductions]

That 07/08 team was so much fun to watch, yet so fragile. Possibly the highest level of technical quality of all the late-era Wenger teams. That Eduardo injury at Birmingham still bothers me whenever I see a clip or watch the season review, until then they played with such flair together; just a shame it didn’t end in a title. I don’t blame him as much as some did and still do, he wanted to win, he had a huge contract waved in his face, and he left. We screwed up a lot back then, it is what it is, the fact he might have been a bit aloof has been used after the fact to paint him in a worse light. Still blessed to have seen him perform at that level for those seasons. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@afunnyusername5599]

"his own team" seems to imply some deep connection, he signed in his 20s and was there 3 years. If you look at it from the outside a young player moving to a new country, then a few years later earning a move to a team he felt more likely to earn him trophies, or more money is something that happens multiple times every year. I think because he has such a puncheable face its easy to blame him for the overall stagnation of Arsenal at that(brief) time but he just jumped ship as the tides where changing. His comments to force a move where lacking class, but he's not really worthy of the the hate he got but the timing meant he got deflected anger that arsenal fans felt as the team was slipping.

Signed for £14m, gave you 3 excellent years and left for £25m. if all your players did that you'd be the best team in the world. He left Marseille for a step up to Arsenal and City were clearly a step up in terms of chances of success and money. Clubs are not loyal, why should players be? Look how Palace are treating Rob Holding.

[@shinkansenshinkansend8316]

Nasri was no better or worse than Sol Campbell, both gave their all but eventually the time came when, to win anything, they needed to move. Far worse was Van Persie. All those months on the treatment table, pocketing his wage whilst contributing nothing, gave us 1 good season then jumped ship.

I have no issue with players if they leave in the right way and don't throw their toys out of the pram. Nasri wanted to win silverware and got the move he wanted.
