SAMIR Nasri move to Manchester City from Arsenal yesterday for a reported 25 million pounds once again signalled Manchester Citys desire to bring home their first league title in forty five years. The move whichsees Mancini summer spending reach over 85 million Martin Perez Jersey pounds once again highlights Citys intention to be a force to be reckoned with both domestically and in the untested waters of the Champions League.It is clear Mancini and his astute backroom staff have identified the lack of goals last season as a key contributing factor in their inability to sustain a real title challenge and the acquisition of Nasriwillbring amuch needed flair, experience and creativity to what at times was a solid but uninspiring midfield.Just as Cesc Fabregas will have to demonstrate his array of qualities to ensure his place in the Barcelona line up so too will Samri Nasri at Manchester City.As the Cityfans ironically chanted boringboring City at Jose Berrios Jersey the Reebok on Sunday as their team opened up Bolton with relativeease many pundits were quick declare City as the new attacking force in the English game, I am yet to be convinced.Mancini is well aware that despite justified criticism last season for being too cautious the reliable De Jong, Barry, Toure and Milner were key components in Manchester City reaching the Champions League for Jonathan Schoop Jersey the first time in their clubs history.Like all top cla s managers Mancini is a strong character and believes wholeheartedly in his team selection.There is no doubt that City this season will be farmore entertaining than last season and Mancini is another year wiser to the frantic pace of the English game. However, I still expect in the big gamesfor Mancini revert to his tried and trusted trio in midfield.Nasri was reportedly frustrated for large parts of last season for being used as a wide player and his frustration may be justified considering his best form came from the centre of midfield in which he found the net fifth teen times. It will be interesting to see where Nasri fits Kyle Gibson Jersey into Manciniplans especially consideringthe amount of quality that Mancini has at his disposal with Balotelli, Johnson, Dzeko, Tevez and Aguero alljostlingfor a position in the starting eleven.David Silva performances have been excellent for City this season and I believe that his performances will be the difference between City winning the title and coming close. As to whether Samir Nasri will be able to truly fulfil his undoubted qualities at Manchester City is yet to be seen Michael Pineda Jersey ,one thing that he can be certain of isthat there is no guarantees at Manchester City. Nasri only needs to look acro s to his new teamsBellamy, Santa Cruz, Adebayor, Sean Wright Phillips, Onuoha to understand that despite his big money contract and the realistic prospect of winning trophies playing for Manchester City will certainly not be plain sailing.
