Isco (merged)

[JoeMercer'sWay]

so Ferran's doing Txiki's job now?

Isco has always seemed the one.

 

[remember arthur mann]

City Watch reporting that Soriano has gone off to meet with Real to sign Isco!

What does Pep think ?

 

[Silva_Spell]

Pellegrini did say that in January we might replace Nasri so maybe this has some truth to it?

 

[CityFan94]

I can't see Isco staying at Madrid too much longer. He's not first choice and his development has stalled.

Would he come to us now? I'm not sure. Looks like a Pep type of player though, technically excellent.

 

[hihosilva]

We're still in four competition's, so it would make sense to have another attacking option to cover Nasri.

 

[Andouble]

can't see the room for him.

We do need replacements for Navas and Nasri (assuming they're not replaced with academy kids), but even with injuries, fixture congestion etc, Isco, Silva, KDB, Sterling seems overkill and one would always be on the bench.

Don Balón: Isco is ready to follow Pep Guardiola after he leaves #FCBayern. #mcfc https://t.co/D3B1flKFRL

Nope not having any of this. Not going to happen.Wasted enough time on this thread as it is, had my dreams dashed enough is enough. :-)

Has to be done

As much as I would love Isco, when pep arrives he would have Silva, Isco, De Bruyne, Sterlng, Aguero, Kelechi a marquee(Neymar/Messi) Roberts all to fit int 3-4 starting places and that's assuming we get rid of Nasri, Navas, Bony and Yaya etc

Seems balanced to me, 4 in and 4 out as well as promoting youth players which Pep is all about. :-)

Think you're more likely to see Dinho as the shield and sterling and de Bruyne play on the opposite sides, oh and Messi on the bench haha

Pep loves players who can keep the ball and are good passers.

Just got this from the spanish media

At Manchester City runs out of patience with Real Madrid for the caseIsco . The English club takes a couple of seasons in the footsteps of Real Madrid player and seems to have time to determine whether the transfer is feasible or theme parks and permanently changes the direction of the market.

City chief executive, Ferran Soriano, traveled to Madrid to meet with Jose Angel Sanchez, general manager of Real Madrid. The meeting would be extended in the very near Santiago Bernabeu restaurant and have served to introduce a new economic proposal as an ultimatum. Manuel Pellegrini yearns to gain the services of midfielder Malaga and knows very well since and played under him when he was active in the Malaga.

Real Madrid footballer rate at about 40 million euros and will not facilitate his departure as the top leaders of the club is considered one of the most promising players of the old continent and do not want to strengthen a direct rival for the Champions League Manchester City can be.

He had his chance, sod him.

 

[gomer27]

I'd still take him, when we took silva off the pitch today we had navas to replace him....Isco would be a far better option

Isco, Silva, Sterling, DeBryune, Dihno Midfield 5.

Zab Otamendi Stones Bernat back 4.

Cameos: Kompany, Yaya

 

[Why Always Ste]

Don't believe this new story emerging as it says Soriano is the guy meeting with Real Madrids Gen. Manager.... Unless Real Madrid plan on asking us for a loan (oh wait they already did that with the stadium expansion) or they plan to become a sponsor/feeder club, then if or when we come to negotiate players it will be Txixi's job any day of the week.
