5 players who made a mistake by joining Manchester City

#3 Samir Nasri

Nasri was never able to replicate his Arsenal form for City

The controversial move of French midfielder Samir Nasir from rivals Arsenal to Manchester City for a transfer fee of £25 million has not been as successful as the player or the club would have hoped.

Nasri came in with a huge reputation after having two brilliant seasons for the Gunners. In the 2009-10 season, the Frenchman made it through to the PFA Team of the Year and he was also nominated for both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year awards.

The highly talented youngster's career faded out at City, though, after making a pretty decent start. He won the league in his debut season at City. But, performance wise he has been mediocre ever since and has mostly featured from the bench in the past few seasons. New manager, Pep Guardiola, has sent him out on loan to Sevilla on Deadline Day.
