Samir Nasri is best remembered by Arsenal’s fans for forcing a move to Manchester City, but the Frenchman had a good career on their books.
Mikel Arteta’s side is now full of bright talents and when Arsene Wenger was the manager, France supplied a good number of overseas players to the club.
Nasri was one of the club’s finest imports after breaking onto the scene at Olympique Marseille and he had offers from several clubs for his signature.
The attacker could have made more money if he moved to Lyon, but he chose to come to Arsenal instead because he could not join a rival in France.
He reveals this via The Sun:
“We spoke, and their contract offer was better than Arsenal’s,
“But I couldn’t go to Lyon. I’m from Marseille, I couldn’t do that.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Nasri was a very fine player but left us when we needed him the most for nothing but money and showed no loyalty.
Most Arsenal fans do not remember any of his fine displays for us and it shows how footballers could choose money over a good legacy.
The club is now in a healthier position and we expect to keep most of our current options in the group with a better deal when a rival wants them.
At least Nasri played for us right up to his transfer to Man City, unlike that 🐀 Fabregas.
Herr are you kidding me, if fabregas his a rat then Van persie, Nasri, Adebayor Clichy Ashley cole sagnal are all Scorpion. After all Fabregas never move to our rival directly has those scorpions did, he move back to his first love I can never blame fabregas for that and when he wanted to move back he contacted Arsene but Arsene never want him back so I don’t blame him for playing for Chelsea, imagine Fabregas and Ozil playing together with santi and a good blocking midfielder I believe we would hv won the league in 2015/2016 season. If you want to blame Fabregas then you hv to blame Henry has well for leaving us in the first place
