Yep, clutching at straws we all are.

Exactly we're only getting excited about him based on a few good performances in the u 21's. There are other players out there.

I honestly cannot believe anybody got their hopes up because of a plane bound for Malaga, with a couple about to board it. It's utter madness and reminds me of that time I saw a scarecrow in a field trying to have a w**. You know the answer.

If we could play with a high tempo for 90 mins, we'd be bloody frightening. I thought we looked an unfit side last season compared to the previous one. If we can get the team fitter i think we'll be unstoppable, domestically anyway.

Say there are no more incomings and no more outgoings, would people be happy that the current squad could compete on all four fronts next season. I think yes.

But we really need to shift a few of those midfielders on then, if we're to make space for another, no?

Midfield as it stands Milner, Sinclair, Nasri, Silva, Yaya, Fernandinho, Garcia, Rodwell, Barry, Navas, Razak. Tell me why we need another midfielder please?. We just seem to be stockpiling players in that area.

Can we really bring any more players in though, without a few going out. I'm amazed there's been no outgoings so far, very very quiet on that front. Tevez seems to be the only name mentioned up to yet, and that seems to be in the very early stages of any deal happening.

Joe Mercer's Way, I doff my hat to you sir. Excellent post. Puts it all into perspective doesn't it?

A 21 year old moving to a different country is a pretty big step to make though isn't it. Perhaps he thought he's not ready to make that move yet. Give him 4 years at Madrid then we'll come calling.

How can you call Navas over priced at 15m mate. If Fernandinho actually did cost 30m then yes it does seem too much. For all we know Isco might never have been on our radar, and if he was we obviously thought 30m was way too much to pay. At this stage last year we hadn't even talked to any...

What makes you think Isco prefers City, that's the phrase I'm not getting. I'm sorry but this is over, infact Saturday's reports in the Spanish press suggested that. And this mornings domestic newspapers have now got wind of the situation. It's over.<br /><br />-- Tue Jun 25, 2013 7:27 am --<br...

So it does sound like we've not even made a bid for Isco, and are not willing to pay the buy out clause. All this excitement for nothing then?

I'm taking a more phillasophical approach to this now, and I'll say our summer doesn't entirely depend on whether we sign Isco or not. We still should be an attacking threat to any team if the season was to start tomorrow.

Give us an S.

Can you imagine if we pulled Bale out of the bag instead. We let Madrid have Isco, they pull out of Bale negotiations. Nice dream anyway.

Let's just have a yes or no, on whether he will sign or not. Not enough positive vibes for me, so It's a no.

Re: Isco (Part 8 (weekend saga part 3)) Yes it would Phuket Blue. Anybody any news on Isco?

Re: Isco (Part 8 (weekend saga part 3)) I liked Garry Cook.

Re: Isco (Part 8 (weekend saga part 3)) I know we're going off topic a bit with Cook, but yes I agree that it was a lot easier to sign players as we were basically starting from scratch, and his hands weren't tied. Still very efficient though.
