I hope we do everything to keep Nasri. What he lacks now is a bit of consistency, that´s all. At 23 it is only natural that consistency will come. If it does, it will take him to the bracket of players second only to Ronaldo and Messi IMO.
well, i guess that's pretty great for man city then. you are not accepting reality. nasri is not going to re-sign with us. if he ever reaches that 2nd-highest tier, it will be at another club. i don't understand why people can't come to grips with this. he is already gone, and you want to lose 20m on top of that.

Mata has never, for a sustained period, been as good as Nasri was for a few months last season IMO.
and about 100 players were better than nasri for 5 months last season.

heck, it could be an improvement, I'm baffled as to why ppl are so scared of selling nasri. Its the thought of not selling him that terrifies me.
Your dislike of him is clouding your judgement. Nasri is a brilliant player.
on the contrary, i'm being rational, you guys are the ones who are letting your like of nasri emotionally cloud YOUR judgment. lets assume you're right and nasri is awesome. how are we going to replace such an awesome player next season when we're short 20m because we've squandered his transfer value?
our choices are:
1) 1 season of nasri and a 20m loss; or
2) 1 season of mata (PLUS however long we keep mata) PLUS likely profit on transfer fee and wage difference
this is a really, really easy decision.
