Samir Nasri's loan to Sevilla leaves two of Manchester City's signings from Arsenal remaining

As Samir Nasri moves to Sevilla, another member of the Arsenal invasion leaves Manchester City.

For a period, the Emirates Stadium was a nursery ground for the next generation of City stars, as the Manchester club routinely pilfered their Premier League rival's talent.

Between 2009 and 2011, City handed over in excess of £70million to the Gunners for the likes of Nasri, Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure, with Bacary Sagna following on a free transfer in 2014. It was a one-way movement of players rivalled only by Liverpool's recent relationship with Southampton but was it worth it?
