I think Nasri would still command a place in our team and bring out the best in players like Wilshere, Rosicky, Walcott and RVP
I remember nasri last year. Went to 1 game (was it fulham?) and he just dominated and scored two great goals and won us the game (2-1 I think). I came away that day thinking that he was such a great player. But then he kind of fell apart at the end of the year. To get 25m for him with 1 year left on his deal and really only 4 good (ok brilliant) months was really good for us. He isnt irreplacable imo
You're not wrong. He has/had it in him to be truly brilliant. Shame he turned out to be such a weasely little c*ck-monkey. Ah well, c'est la vie. His loss is Rosicky's gain. I've no doubt had Nasri stayed Tomas would have never recaptured his original form. As it stands the little maestro is back, we got 25m for a player who wanted out (in on his last year) and Citeh have another sulking moneygrabber on their bench.
Maybe - I am a big believer in TEAM though and one major part of our revival is the team spirit and how everyone is pulling together. Nasri doesn't seem to fit with that. One of the big things about Rosicky is that he is making everyone look good, not just himself.
100% yes. Also, who else got slightly over-excited by his long ranged shot from Ramsey's pass? I know it was saved at and all but it was hit with precision and power. Pulling the strings in midfield, biting tackles and long ranged efforts! He's back people, HE'S BACK!

How do you see the next round of matches going? Chelsea play Champions League this week, and Spurs don't play til Sunday, so they'll know the other results before their match.
We actually have some tough games still but thankfully we have both Man City and Chelsea at home, and ALL the pressure is on them. We can just play the way we are and be comfortable, they are the ones that need to take it to us! Apart from Man City, Stoke is the only real hard game we have left. Chelsea are still playing pants in my opinion and they will stuggle to get anything from us at the Emirates. We comfortably beat them at Stamford Bridge and they are not playing much better now! The only thing that will get us is complacency.
