Manchester City player Samir Nasri has hit out at his former
club Arsenal, while celebrating his first English Premier League Trophy,
accusing them of settling for the second best. The Midfielder was part of the
history making City side that were crowned EPL champions for the first time in
44 years after a dramatic 3-2 win over QPR.
Nasri joined Manchester City last summer for £24 million and
was heavily critisiced by the Gunners fans claiming he joined the blue side of
Manchester to double his earnings. However, the French Star feels his club’s
recent success has justified his move, because he has refused to settle for the
less
In an interview with French TV channel TF1 he said: "People
at Arsenal tried to make out that I came here for the money,
"I hope they are watching me now, collecting my Premier
League winner’s medal. I believe they have not won a trophy for many years now.
"If all that I was interested in was money, the easiest
decision would have been to stay at Arsenal, picking up my money every week and
walking into the team.
"There are many people doing this right now at Arsenal.
"I made the hard choice to come and fight for my place
at a big club, where they never settle for second best, and I have proved it
correct.
"I now hope the Arsenal fans can get on with their
lives and forget me, they should celebrate their third-place achievement and I
will focus on winning titles."
