Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 has admitted that he has wanted to sign Samir Nasri for over five years now.
The twenty four year old went on to complete his move from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 to Manchester City this week and has as a result brought an end to any and all transfer sagas that had been dragging along with Arsenal.
Following Nasri’s move to the Etihad Stadium, his new manager has done nothing but praise his new signing and feels like the French international could be just the player, to help City reach the top of the Premier League table on a permanent basis.
When talking about Nasri, Mancini is quoted to have said: “I think he’s a fantastic player, he has technique, he has the mentality.”
The manager then went on to admit that he had been following the player since he was at Marseille and Mancini was in charge of Inter.
“I know him from when he was at Marseille because I followed him when I was at Inter, and we wanted to take him five years ago, but I think in the last four years in the Premier League he has improved a lot, and now I think he is a top player.”
Mancini then went on to compare Nasri to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Silva, while admitting that the only difference between the two, was that Nasri is a bit more versatile than Silva.
“I think he is a player like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Silva-c10601, but the difference is to David is that he can play in the middle, maybe David cannot,” he continued.
“Samir can play like a midfielder, he can also play near the box and the striker because of his technique and his core. He can provide assists.”
It seems like Mancini actually sat down and thought about his decision to land Nasri, instead of just splashing the cash for the French international. Should Nasri be able to link up with the rest of the City squad, then he could go on and help the team
reach a level that no one thought was possible.
City are now looking more and more like a team that has the capabilities to contest for almost every single competition that they participate in.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 now in the team, no one can really doubt the credibility of the Manchester based team, as they are potentially as good as every other team out there.
