Samir Nasir was just 21 when he announced himself to his new Arsenal team-mates by taking Thierry Henry's usual seat on the France team coach and refusing to budge when the club's greatest-ever player told him to at Euro 2008.
When it comes to rubbing up people the wrong way, Nasri is world-class. But when he performs like he has done in City's last three games, it is a price managers consider worth paying.
Nasri, now 27, would say he's maturing. With high-profile fall-outs in the past with Sir Alex Ferguson, Didier Deschamps, Arsenal fans and French media, you'd hope so.
