Fabregas left for his home club of Barcelona, whilst Nasri left for money at Manchester City.
“When you get to a club and things are not going well, it’s not easy to live,” Gervinho told The Guardian.
“You don’t necessarily regret your choice but you wonder why this had to happen in your early weeks. It was a very tough blow to lose Nasri and Fábregas. It rocked the team.”
