Samir Nasri – Grade – B
After going out on loan this summer to La Liga side Sevilla, Nasri has shown some flashes of the brilliance he has been capable of in the past. In going out on loan, Nasri chose not to fight for his spot in the City squad, but he certainly has the ability to be an important player, if he returns next summer. In 10 appearances for Sevilla, Nasri has three goals and an assist.
