Liverpool sold Suarez for £75m and have brought in Lambert, Lallana, Emre Can, Markovic and Remy in for around £65m/£70m, add the £14m from the sale of Borini and they have around £20m/£25m plus whatever they want to take out of their own money to spend on other players.
They haven't even touched their defence yet which if anything is their most obvious weakness so they have to focus on that surely before they start thinking about spending £25m on Isco.
I reckon if Pellegrini has a chat with Isco I reckon he could possibly get him to force a move to us and in result we can hope it forces Real Madrid to loan him to us with us paying the fee next summer, Italian clubs seem to do this all the time as they have tried similar deals with us.
I am not ruling out the possibility, Isco and Lopes could end up being successors to Silva and Nasri.
Whilst Silva and Nasri are hardly grandads it's good to be thinking about it. Mangala, Isco, Lopes, even Jovetic - These guys could be the spine of the next City side. Anything we can do to keep the average age creeping above 29 is good planning. We don't want to end up with Toure, Fern, Silva, Dzeko, Kolarov and Kompany all relied upon on the wrong side of 30.
