Samir Nasri has charged Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke of trying to sell him to Manchester City because he 'wanted the cash ', in remarks which are likely to further stress his already fraught relationship together with his former employers. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger often insisted he was under no pressure to market Nasri to City for A24m in August 2011, even though the French midfielder had just one year left on his Arsenal agreement. Yet Nasri has offered up a version of events, within an meeting with French TV channel beIN Sport that has been translated by several British newspapers. "Wenger explained that if Cesc (Fabregas) left, I'd remain but Kroenke needed the money," Nasri was quoted as stating by the Daily Mirror. "Cesc was already gone, I had only one year left so I chose to keep. "I do not have regrets. I actually do not regret joining Manchester City. I wish to play and perform. My departure from Arsenal is simply for sporting reasons. When you review Arsenal and City, it's different. With City I am playing in a better group. Used to do perhaps not leave for cash. "I only regret not having more discussions with Arsene Wenger when I left. Arsene Wenger is the greatest coach I've caused. He made the ball player to me I'm. I am very grateful." Nasri's responses seem certain to be challenged by Wenger, who has long claimed he is in sole charge of transport coverage at Arsenal and insisted at the time that the purchase was 'rational' given the player's refusal to agree to a brand new cope with the team. Meanwhile, Nasri conceded he's allowed his kind to fall this season, as he taken care of immediately comments from Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini that he 'wish to give him a punch ' after his lacklustre activities in recent months. Nasri proposed he denied the statements by Mancini that he wasn't giving his all in workout sessions and made in his most impressive show of recent weeks in the 4-0 win against Newcastle last Saturday. "I am aware that I've not had a great season," he said. "There are several reasons, but when Mancini said that I am training at 50%, this is not correct. I felt comfortable against Newcastle. Since I have thought good." It's been a little while Nasri went on to dismiss studies connecting him with a summer move to Paris Saint-Germain or Monaco.
