Isco

[taconinja]

Lol. Come on. I was far from Mancini's biggest fan but hhis tactics weren't extremely cautious for the last two years of his tenure.

The supremely slow build-up play suggests otherwise.

We had little pace in our side. He tried correcting that twice in fairness. Nasri's acceleration at Arsenal was a huge asset to him and helped him beat players. It ought to have gone some way to both speeding up our build up and helping him go past players and put in better performances. Didn't.

Fortunately we're likely to see if it was system or player this upcoming season. I hope it was the former. :)

It can be both you know. We lacked pace. Nasri ought to have been the solution to that, thus contributing to the slow build up.

It could be. Next season should be a good litmus test.

Can see Madrid going back in for him if Bale bid fails. We should have got this signed before the u-21's, his price will only go higher and interest more now.

Whoah!!!!!!!! Hang on Nip, you've been assuring us all that Isco & Cavani were done . My house depends on you being a right ;.)

I post on a general football forum and all the real fans on there want Isco over Bale or Suarez, caused a bit of a fuss when I told them he's coming to us !

Feeding the flappers ;)

Isco is ours ;)

Cavani I do not know but I believe he will be. Rooney to Chelsea, Suarez to Madrid.

Any word on the whole "Isco's father is in Manchester this week" thing I read on here?

I am still confident that he will sign for City and I have a hunch that Real Madrid are sniffing around Juan Mata.
