That would leave us with only one true centre forward yet numerous 'false 9's' - It would certainly limit our options and i'm not sure that's what I want to see.

Whilst I'd love to see us sign Isco, it's hard to see where he'd fit into our squad.

With Fernando's arrival I can see us playing 4231 a lot next season, and we've already got Silva, Nasri, Navas, Toure, Jovetic and Milner who can play as part of a three behind a striker. Unless of course one of those leaves, and Milner's future seems uncertain. Not really a like for like replacement though.

UEFA have ensured that Jimmy stays (unless we get a Barkley or Pogba etc in exchange)

I think we'll play with one up top with yaya advanced most big and European games though glenn. Isco would allow us to rest merlin alot more and between edin, sergio and Jovetic who could play up top I think it could be lethal!

Not totally convinced Aguero is as lethal when played upfront on his own (without a Target man). Need to find some statistics when he played together with Tevez or without Balo/Dzeko/Negredo.

But when the chance comes to sign such a talent as Isco, we should be all over it. His ceiling is potentially up there with Iniesta.

If Real do seem keen to move him, I can't see him at Liverpool. He'll push for a move to City

With Lallana & Coutinho they have 2 proper AMs who can play out wide or as part of a midfield 3. They have Sterling and Markovic on the wings. Just can't see Isco fitting there unless they move one of those on.

If there was one area we could improve our attack it would be in attacking midfield.

We rely far too much on Silva and Nasri to create our goals and when one of them is injured we struggle.

If we could bring Isco in it takes a lot of pressure off our current creative pair and I reckon Isco has enough goals in him to play as a second striker or a more complete number ten.

I'd love Isco here.

I'd also love Silva to get some rest, like Zabs will now get. However, I'd be sceptical of Isco wanting to come here to play that role when he would be leaving Madrid due to a lack of playing time.

As it stands we've got the likes of Yaya, Navas, Nasri, Milner, Silva, Jovetic, Negredo, Aguero and Dzeko to fit in attacking wise.
