Thoughts?

I dont really understand.

If he said, he can be like Silva it makes sense, they play similar positions.

But Xavi?

Anyway, no he cant. He is a very talented play and all, but no.

As Dani said, if he had said David Silva or Iniesta, would have understood. But Xavi?

Anyway, Nasri has the talent. Dont think he has the temperament though. He will always be an inconsistent player IMO.

If he plays

...which he won't, thus rendering his comparison moot.

Pretty sure he said after that "is that Neil Patrick Harris on a unicorn or Am I just stoned?

Wait, since when have Silva and Xavi been on the same level? He could maybe become as good as Silva but he will never be anywhere near as good as Xavi.

He wants to convert him to a CM, because he has "potential" to be as good as Xavi. That's what he's wanting to say. But Mancini doesn't realize that whenever he plays as a CM he's rubbish. :facepalm:

Nasri doesn't have the vision nor the brain to play run the game like Xavi and Silva do.

He was whining like a bitch about playing CAM and controlling the tempo, and when Wenger put him there in the pre-season tour against teams like Hangzhou, he failed epically.
