Isco

I picked Forster's name out of the air, he's just one of many. Scott Carson, Rob Green, Chris Kirkland, Ben Foster, Kasper Schmeichel, Jack Butland, John Ruddy, honestly there's plenty of decent GKs. We're only after a backup goalkeeper, we don't need Gianluigi Buffon.

I understand the importance of creating the illusion of competition for Joe Hart's place, but in reality we all know who will start and finish the season as undisputed No. 1 this season - Joe Hart.

Willy Caballero or Isco...
Totally agree fella.craig Gordon was on sky not so long back looking for a club.hed be a decent back up.

sadly another foreigner
 
Isco started 23 league for Real Madrid and came on from bench 9 times.
Also 6 starts + 3 subs for Spanish cup.
And 6 starts and 6 subs in CL for Real including coming on as a sub in CL final.
(Was brought off many times when he started, obviously for rotation reasons.)

But its not a bad playing time record at Real for a younger Spanish midfielder in his first season.

Would he get much more time here at City in his first season? Would he start over 20 league games? He could but then Nasri/Navas/Milner will be crying over lack of playing time like its the case with Milner already probably.

For Isco it would as logical to come here playing time wise like for Milner to go to Arsenal and be a squad player like he is here.

He probably needs to leave because he doesnt want even less playing time after Rodriguez signing. But if he wants to play more than in his first season at Real than City is not a good move for him. He would have to look for a team that is ready to build their team around him. I dont think we are when we have Silva and Nasri too who just signed a new long contract. All this in the middle of trying to get Milner sign one too with him hoping of more playing time.

Do injuries not exist in your own little world?

Yeah, Joe's goes down for a few months... bring on Chris Kirkland. The Champions League won't know what hit them.

We signed one of the best 'keepers in La Liga over the past few seasons for less than £5m to fill the canyon sized gap between Joe Hart and Richard Wright and you're pining for the likes of Rob Green, fucking hell. Not to mention that all bar Butland I believe are already first choice for their clubs and Butland played bounced around between 3 clubs last season...3.

If it is a choice between the two like you're presenting, well then I guess it looks like we'll be stuck with Silva and Nasri, with the likes of Jovetic, Milner, Navas, Yaya, Negredo, Dzeko, Aguero in other attacking roles next season... aww nerts.

It's a back up goalkeeper you imbecile, he'll hardly ever play. The argument you're attempting to use could be applied to multiple positions throughout our team. What happens if Kompany gets injured? Rekik? Nastasic?! What happens if Silva gets injured?! You think Nasri can do the same job?!

I'll bet right now that Hart plays 90% of our fixtures this season. Why waste an overseas player birth on a guy who'll play 1 in 10 games?!

Which is why we'll have Kompany, Demichelis, Mangala, Nastasic, Rekik at CB, even take Nastasic out at we have cover at both sides.

If Silva goes down, we have an abundance of attacking players to fill in like they did last season; only the like of Iniesta could do the same job.

So you want Isco to perhaps fill in for Silva so we don't feel his absence as badly as we could?

But want a scrap heap back up 'keeper if Joe does down or loses his form again? Well done. The club wouldn't sign Caballero, nor would he sign himself, if they felt he was just depth.

Christ, you ring the club up and offer to take over then. Also, you don't really have the right to call anyone an imbecile after your suggestions of Chris Kirkland and co.
