I'm a hypocrite? So is everyone.

Its not as if you can say he just went for the money, City are a better team than Arsenal, and he had a better chance at trophies at City, people act like the fact that people get more money should act as a deterrent or something

And?

Man City and United both had a pretty reasonable chance of success and City most likely offered him more money, whats wrong with taking City's offer

As if Samir Nasri knew that Manchester City would be doing better than Manchester United. Manchester United were the champions of England and the runners up in the Champions League. Not to mention, he's a bench-warmer now for Manchester City. He'd be a starter at either Manchester United or Arsenal.

Probably after they were put off by his ridiculous wage demands. I don't know for sure.

Id say alot of people predicted City to do well, they had already bought Aguero by this stage and they had a quality squad. Also Nasri wasnt to know he's end up on the bench, most people thought he's be a starter.

At the expense of first team football and fully developing as a player.

So most people knew Manchester City would do better than Manchester United, but they didn't know that Samir Nasri would be thrown on the bench? Don't think we've been hanging out with the same people.

Well alot of people on the forum where posting formations with Nasri in the team and stuff when he signed. I mean who thought they would bother spend all that money and wages on a player to sit on the bench?

Maybe not better than United, but certainly to challenge them, its not like he went to Russia or America just for money or anything, City were had a great squad by the time he joined.

This is the same team that has spent extortionate amounts on Jo, Santa Cruz and Kolarov. A team that is paying 200,000 a week for a player who is practically living in another country. Anyone in their right mind would have put it down as plausible that he'd be thrown on the bench.

Yeah but they don't start because they're all shit. Kolarov was bought to start but his shitness forced the issue, Jo was bought to start by Thaksin because he's a mad cunt and Santa Cruz was bought because Hughes had some sort of fetish for him. The Tevez one is a whole different issue, he'd probably still be starting today had he not wanted to leave.

I just mean that money is no object with Manchester City. Bad decisions have been made in the past, there was some likelihood that Nasri would be on the end of yet another one of these poor decisions. He would have been a starter at Manchester United, almost no doubt about it.

They definitely need Glen Johnson. Capello has noticed he is better than Richards, the rest of the world aren't so smart though,
