Forgive me, but what have I supposedly said, or has someone been claiming fake PMs again?
Posted just the once early doors, and that was to refute City had briefed the MEN or any other news outlet.
In addition, that City had not given up yesterday and Pellegrini was attempting to speak direct with Isco.
Having stated all along the decision was down to the player, and NOBODY could call it, I'm surprised to see I have somehow bucked a consensus?
The few facts I have posted have been entirely accurate.
Exactly that. Nothing out of City and no briefings.
Going in to a fifth day now since Marca wrote all signed.
Maria Sharapova has that ability to make you forget all about football!
Sounds very believableRammyblues said:My opinion that is all:-
1) Pellegrini principal targets were Fernandhino and Navas that is why we paid the price these were the missing pieces for the squad identified by the "board" no doubt ably assisted by our new manager.
2) It is probably true that Isco would come to City
3) To sooth the RMs fans given the earlier article he is then reported to have made positive comments about RM
4) RM and Malaga are in agreement
5) Isco 's reps and RM are in agreement
6) If we match RMs offer the player comes to us
7) We obviously had an understanding with Malaga regarding a lower fee
8) When RM launched their bid everything changed
9) It seems to me we have asked Isco to be patient
10) Not sure how patient he will be but it seems this week by Wednesday is the deadline
11) Brinkmanship and negotiations are obviously part and part of this deal, do Malaga send Isco to a club where deep down he doesn't want to go, thereby betraying the fans who have supported him, or does he publicly comes out and says I want City thereby weakening Malagas hand in the negotiation and thereby leaving a sour taste in his mouth when it seems he wants the best for Malaga as well.
12) It seems that we are at stalemate, the easiest option is for the lad to join RM and I am almost sure that will happen, Perez has cleared the way in that respect by announcing he is excited about us (RM) and we want him.
13) The amount we pay on him may impact our other targets, is he really what we need given the squad we have.
14) Unless we are allowed further financial flexibility in this deal then my head says he will probably have to go to RM, I hope I am wrong.

The fans want Isco, but when the League season starts this all pales into insignificance. What we want is a top performing team, and a new striker is surely central to that. Having spent £40 plus million already, and then pay out another £25m for Isco it might restrict forward options or affect FFP calculations
