Blue Haze said:We learn the lesson once again- speed is everything. For 27 days of the January window, Isco had a 17m buyout. Many on the forum begged City to act. We didn't act. He signed his new contract on 28 January. Then all the messing around with Pellegrini's confirmation, letting him go to the U21 and having an outstanding performance.
We waited too long, each time thinking we could get a better price later. Whatever we were trying to save wasn't worth what we lost. Meanwhile Perez just rolled in and slapped down the cash, game over.

Raggi is a Moroccan porn actor. Proof you are a RAG if I ever needed it...
"Raggi has been active since 1994. In late 2011 Raggi suddenly departed from the adult industry[citation needed] due to reports of a drug-related arrest. Raggi appeared in a large portfolio of various adult videos, mainly European hardcore anal pornography."

grim up north said:BillyShears said:LoveCity said:According to AS (inb4 "Spanish media!"), the hold up is whether Real Madrid will loan Cheryshev to Malaga. People saying Isco's quotes are old are wrong - he said it yesterday and was reported to be very excited as he said it. I think people are really clutching at straws - every bit of evidence points to a Real Madrid move and the player himself implied it without being able to confirm it (as the clubs are in the final haggling process over the loan of a player before it's all signed). AS say it could be announced Thursday or Friday.

Completely agree with this. I'm not a pessimist when it comes to City and transfers, but it strikes me that this deal is done to Madrid.
Really surprises me though that people think this is such a blow if we don't sign him. The characteristics which Isco has can be found in many players across Europe. Isco just happens to be flavour of the month and one of the easier transfers to do because his club are financially fucked and therefore have to sell him.
Agree with this cannot understand all the flapping
M24 Citizen said:Blue Hefner said:I said earlier in the thread that I reckon he will go to Real Madrid.
However, if on the off chance he comes to us does it no bother anyone that he want s to come (mainly) because of the manager? I mean, what happens if he gets sacked after 6 months, does Isco leave? What happens if Isco turns out to be shit, does Pelli have to play him all the time because he is his 'father in football'?
They are just a couple of concerns
He was pictured wearing a City shirt. That'll do it for me.

Are we trying to sweeten the deal or make sure he ends up at Madrid?
