Of course it's sad to see a quality player like Nasri leave, but considering we got £25million of Man City's dirty money for a player they could've had for free in a year's time, I think Arsenal could be laughing. That's if the money is re-invested, that is.

Money is basically no object for City, so presumably they won't mind too much paying that much for something of a one-season wonder who, as far as I can see, has no obvious place in their team.
