Despite having a surgically repaired ankle that causes him occasional time on the sideline, he's avoided major injury. We'd be hard pressed to break down stubborn defending if he had an injury like Negredo's.
Nasri is technically a playmaker but he's too inconsistent. I don't think he's on the level of Silva at all. Only Yaya is.
How many away goals did he score last season? Zero. All 11 of his goals were at home.
To me, he's a streaky player. He's had long periods of his City career in poor form. He's a great complement to Silva but I wouldn't count on him.
I've seen quite a lot of people say that Nasri blows very hot and cold, but is he really that different to other players? Silva is not always on his top form, and Nasri is a good goal threatTrain said:Blue Haze said:ColinLee said:Id have said Nasri was one of our most consistent players last season by a long shot.

He's a playmaker who was in the top 10 for chances created and was arguably stronger away than at home in this category in comparison to others. And for parts of last season when Silva was out injured, it was Nasri who had to step up and be counted upon.
Although he was average for the first two seasons, his last season was anything but.

Another major issue which gets bypassed in threads like this is that given the expectation we are to sign Mangala, then we will have 19 registered overseas players on the books which means that to add Isco to the squad, three existing players will have to move on to include him in the Premier League, and an extra body will have to be omitted from the CL too. So given the problem of moving on unwanted homegrown players if only to get the wage bill down, then which of our elite group of overseas players should we be prepared to ditch, whilst keeping a balanced squad and also to keep this part of the wage bill down so as to accommodate a high earner like Isco?Ray78 said:Blue Til Death said:I'm sick of hearing about Isco, he wont be coming to City, simple as that, we have enough fire power so lets unleash them like we did last season and try and score more, if we have better luck with Injuries, we will for sure, without Isco.. !

So what you're saying is that I should I not post my gifs yet?

Isco could be the difference in the Champions League.
We had big injuries around the time we played Barcelona and could have done with a player like Isco.
We have Jovetic fit and raring to go.
18 isn't it? Or have I missed someone? Richards & Sinclair are missing as I'm presuming they're history. Still too many of course.I'm no cynic said:Another major issue which gets bypassed in threads like this is that given the expectation we are to sign Mangala, then we will have 19 registered overseas players on the books which means that to add Isco to the squad, three existing players will have to move on to include him in the Premier League, and an extra body will have to be omitted from the CL too.

It isn't easy and it just won't happen.

Would love us to land this guy on loan , class act
