In reply to Solf.

To be precise, it is about the attacking midfield players cum wingers
Spain – Silva, Mata, Fabregas,Cazorla,Pedro,Iniesta, Koke
France – Griezmann Valbuena, Remy, Matuidi and that is all…No depth whatsoever and lets not even compare quality either. Leave the Spanish squad, by all means even Ribery and Nasri are better than majority of the lot mentioned in French squad.
Benzema and Giroud are out and out strikers

With Ribery also out of World Cup, France only have the likes of Griezmann, Valbuena and Remy as renowned attacking players but compare them to Spain, Brazil, Germany etc, France have no depth whatsoever.
This is one of the most uninformed statements I have ever read about the French team. Has the author ever heard of players such as Benzema (Real Madrid), Giroud (Arsenal) or Matuidi (PSG) ?

Man city have just offered him a new 4 year contract,they wouldn’t of done this if he was a trouble causer in the camp,it sounds like sour grapes coming out of the gooners and spuds camp.

There has not been one problem with Nasri at the Etihad in all the years he has been there. It seems to me that it is the pettiness and arrogance of others within the French set up that is causing the problem. A fine player who would have graced the WC but for the jealousy and misinformation spouted from those who have no idea,

Give me some examples of poor behaviour at Mancheste City. I do not know one. There must be a problem, but it is not with Nasri

It is a good decision for Deschamp to dump Samir Nasri out of France worldcup. Nasri is not a team player, he is too full of himself and may cause fury in the camp. His statements after he left arsenal for city was responsible for his shunning despite him being an exceptional player with the citizens. This is a lesson to all hypatic and ego players.

The writer mentioned three players or four out of 23 who are not comfortable with his presence, and perhaps there are more who didn’t voice out. What am trying 2 say here is that it is not the coach that is responsible for the shortage of french squad, it is the poor conduct of some players like Nasri, and ofcourse injuries to others like Frank. In a tournament like WC every plays.

The lad is rude, proud and like to forment trouble. I think he deserves to be left out so as to avoid chaos in the camp.

Tournament football is about more than good players as the coaches, kit men, fitness guys, managers, bus driver and players all need to live together harmoniously for up to a month. As a National Manager, you’re responsible for the whole National Team’s performance and if any one player is going to bring friction to the camp then he must be sacrificed. Nasri has a history, it’s just catching up with him, that’s all.
