I can easily live with that.
Keep Dzeko for one more year. Sell Tevez and get Villa. Even though he's getting on a bit he'd be perfect for us as a second/third option.

City set to ditch Cavani chase to secure Isco

Manchester City are set to ditch their bid for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani to make sure they capture brilliant Spain Under-21 star Isco.

Manchester City are poised to pull out of the chase for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and focus their fire on brilliant Spain Under-21 star Isco.

The Blues have baulked at the £53million asking price for Uruguay star Cavani, and are preparing to leave the field clear for the striker to join Real Madrid.

And they hope that will exhaust Madrid’s transfer budget for the summer, and leave them as firm favourites to grab £30m-rated Isco, who helped Spain become European Under-21 champions on Wednesday night.

New boss Manuel Pellegrini has told City chief executive Ferran Soriano and football director Txiki Begiristain that he believes Edin Dzeko could thrive in the system he intends to introduce at City.

And that means the pursuit of Cavani has cooled, although City will still monitor the availability of a man who has scored 104 goals in the last three seasons.

The Blues are banking on the belief that Madrid – who also want Gareth Bale – cannot afford all three players in a summer where economic austerity is sweeping Spain, and with UEFA’s financial fair play rules set to kick in this season.

It means City are rapidly giving up on the idea that they could bag both Cavani and Isco, and Pellegrini appears calm on the possibility that he could end up with the same three strikers as last season – Dzeko, Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez.

Tevez now appears to be the most likely to leave, as City would rather cash in now than lose him for nothing when his contract expires next summer with AC Milan and Juventus both keen on the Argentine.

One player poised to move on is Roque Santa Cruz, set to move to Hamburg on a two-year deal.

If Dzeko stays he needs to sign a new contract this summer or he can give us the Van Persie/Lewandowski problems next summer.

 

[simon23]

if we can keep tevez then not getting cavani isnt too bad

if we sell tevez we must replace him.....we cannot go into a season with just kun and dzeko (guedettl needs to be loaned out and tested at prem level for a whole season).......

people are relying on the fact that dzeko will suddenly become a world beater under Pelle.....I just dont see it...he is a good player but he is not at the same level as tevez/cavani in overall affect on the team and overall play.

nor will the aquisitions of isco/navas make up for the fact that our strike force isnt good enough if we lose tevez and are left without buying anyone

I hope there is a plan B (martinez et al)???????????????????

 

[toffee balls]

Cavani or not Tevez should be moved on this summer.

Timing is everything and I believe the time has come.

 

[wrongun73]

If It's true we've pulled out of the running for cavani we should put out an official statement, if only to get in first before the inevitable 'cavani snubs city' headlines

Good player, I'd like to see him here but not for 53 million. If Napoli play hard ball and don't lower their fee, I'd say move on to another target.<br /><br />-- Wed Jun 19, 2013 10:09 am --<br /><br />Good player, I'd like to see him here but not for 53 million.

why on earth would we pull out of trying to get cavani to work harder on isco?

so as far as i can see isco has a deal in front of him from us to decide on and malaga have accepted the offer for him what more would we gain from pulling out of trying for cavani?

Agreement with Real Madrid to leave Isco to us ?
