Isco

[ox-blue]

So have we definitely lost this player to Madrid ?

Where is the confirmation ?

Thiago now then?

He's more or less a U*d player now isn't he?

Like Isco was more or less a City player. Why don't we do a Madrid on them? At least put in a ridiculously high bid and force the price up if nothing else.

Softening the blow maybe without actually admitting anything?

Please stop. Closed thread.

I don't want to see fuck Isco

If the lad does decide on Real i hope he isnt wasted on the bench its obvious he has a talent that could progress to a world talent.

As I think has been said before, we are not exactly a role model ourselves in the "not wasting players on the bench" stakes. Scott Sinclair is going to need rehab when he leaves City.

I would say the confirmation is on our official site
http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/What-the...the-media-says-about-Manchester-City-25-June?

Notice the lack of a "?" at the end of the headline "Isco Bid Looks Doomed" - more of a statement.

Everyone knows at City it's a lost cause. While losing out to the likes of Madrid is not surprising, the way we keep losing our top targets is not good.

I starting to think we won't sign a real marquee player for sometime!

We have a lot to learn from how real madrid do what they do to get a player in all aspects good or bad...

Agree with this. Obviously I don't know the details of what went on, but it does seem that City perhaps got a bit complacent as a result of the whole Pellegrini link rather than throwing the whole kitchen sink at getting the deal closed ASAP.

Still, no shame in losing out to Real Madrid for one of Spain's most promising talents.

It'll be interesting to see where his career goes from here.

File under Pedro Leon and Canales???
