Nasri Mocks Arsenal Fans

"People at Arsenal tried to make out that I came here for the money," Nasri said. "I hope they are watching me now, collecting my Premier League winner's medal. I believe they have not won a trophy for many years now.

"I made the hard choice to come and fight for my place at a big club, where they never settle for second best, and I have proved it correct.

"I now hope the Arsenal fans can get on with their lives and forget me, they should celebrate their third-place achievement and I will focus on winning titles."

Nasri also suggested that some players at Arsenal are not giving their all to the cause, but are happy to take their wages and settle for third place in the table.

"If all that I was interested in was money, the easiest decision would have been to stay at Arsenal, picking up my money every week and walking into the team," he said.

"There are many people doing this right now at Arsenal."

Like. he has just won the league, he could have thanked Wenger for giving him a chance and treating him well at Arsenal and thanked the club for everything they have done for him, but instead, he takes an unecessary swipe at them. The man is classless personified.

He bailed out on them last summer, and now this...smh.

Nasri wouldn't even be known by anybody if Wenger hadn't bought him.

Yeah doing one or two things in Ligue 1. Big frakkin deal!

I like Wenger, and he gets serious merit for signing people like Toure and Gallas and making them into amazing players.....but Nasri....come on.

I knew Nasri before he moved to Arsenal (mostly because some fool and me being young I had to check that out) but yea.....I'm pretty sure everyone knew of Nasri and his talent long before he signed for Arsenal.
