Is Nasri fit to wear the shirt?

Latest reports suggest that the proposed Samir Nasri transfer is stumbling over his fitness. He hasn't played for 18 months and presumably will take a long time to get back into condition. We're left wondering if he now weighs 20 stone and looks like some of the more rotund geezers in the Bobby Moore Stand. With Carroll and Wilshere in the squad you can understand why the board might not want another player who's not fully fit. But much will surely depend on the desire of the player himself. If he has the dedication to come back at the age of 31 then Nasri could yet be a quality player. There's no arguing with his ability, what Pellegrini has to quantify is his mindset.
