Malaga get the money they want and also a player as a replacement without having to spend - I remember Isco stating he would do what is also best for Malaga
I think we are certainly getting there and clubs are genuinely concerned about our financial muscle. However for a foreign player weighing up who to play for, we have to accept plenty would plump for a Real or Barca etc contract over our offer.oakiecokie said:strongbowholic said:In fairness mate, Real are arguably the biggest and most decorated club in the world (irrespective of anyone's opinion on the means by which they have done it).mike channon´s windmill said:Problem is WHY are we being gazumped by a club which has to go running to bank which is now 70% government owned - oh wait....

We are still a nouveau riche upstart club who are going through the process of establishing themselves. A further hindrance is having those bastards down the A56 and the mythology that surrounds them.
It's something we're going to have to keep chipping away at and that unfortunately is going to take time. Some will buy into the whole project thing but we are always at risk from teams like Real, Barca, Bayern etc.
I honestly believe we are now up there with the big boys and have definately rattled the fucking cage of RM over our Isco bid etc.We `re now known as "The Rich Bitches" in Madrid.

Correct
Agreed. Whatever the background machinations this guy is bright enough to make up his own mind.Cheadle_hulmeBlue said:Smithy34 said:Malaga and their owner wanted to sell to RM. The offer that Perez made along with the loan of one of their players was the key fact in this matter imo

It seems increasingly likely Isco is going to Real. What is quite funny is the reaction we are seeing to a Spanish man opting to stay in Spain to play for another Spanish club who also happen to be the biggest club in Spain (and the world) rather than having all the upheaval of leaving home, moving country, learning a new language that goes with joining a foreign club.
What accusation could you level at the player? He's bottled it? Well, know he is signing for Real and is obviously confident in putting his ability up against their big name players. He's no ambition? Real will have domestic success and will likely go well in Europe every year. He's only done it for the money? Surely we'd have matched or offered him more?
Very disappointed it looks like we've missed out on him but, to quote my good friend Bobby, "theees ees football".

I'm sure we loaned them RSC last season and paid the majority of his wages.
I don't get the argument that they are angry with no compensation for Pellegrini, ffs they didn't even pay him and the squad for most of the season and Malaga earned the club a good crust from the epic efforts in CL.
City should have matched the fee Madrid offered though, it's bad to lose on a player for the sake of a few million.
