Isco

[LoveCity]

We would have been better off had he had a wank U21 tournament, although then half of Bluemoon would have written him off as an average prospect. :)

Good find LoveCity but what about the fee?

Can't sign the player unless the club sanctions the deal. £30m is an extraordinary amount for a player of his age/experience

Less than the going rate for a player of his age and talent probably.
Neymar, Hazard, Gotze, James Rodríguez and Lucas all went for more.

I think he's worth it. Would probably be around £22m + add-ons though.

If we hesitate, someone else will come in for him.

Enjoyed watching him in the Euros U21s, but he's been too good

I reckon this is all staged between us and Real.

We're gonna beat them to Isco, they'll beat us to Cavani.

PR win for both clubs.

MOgden:

City had emerged as favourites to sign the Malaga youngster after being informed of his determination to sign for a club who could offer him a key role in the first-team.

With German midfielder Mesut Ozil and Brazilian playmaker Kaka already at Real, Isco had voiced concerns that he could become a peripheral figure at the Bernabeu, despite emerging as the star player of Spain’s European U-21 Championship success in Israel this month.

However, with City growing in confidence that the lure of regular football under former Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini would convince Isco to reject Real for a move to the Etihad, Zidane’s intervention has now left Real expecting to secure his signature.

Former Real captain Zidane, now director of football at the Bernabeu, is understood to have held several discussions with Isco’s father to allay fears that the player would be overlooked in Madrid.

Zidane is also believed to have highlighted Madrid’s proximity to Malaga via high-speed rail link in an effort to appeal to Isco’s desire to remain close to his family.

Manchester City remain confident that they will sign Isco, but Malaga vice-president Moayad Shatat has warned that the player’s impressive tournament in Israel has reinforced his £30m transfer valuation.

We can counter this argument by saying we have a tram system which passes right outside the ground where he'd have familiar voices helping him by telling him which stop to get off at instead of some miserable twat making the announcements which he'd have in Madrid.

Oh... and we have our own plane #rockstars.

A flight from Manchester is probably quicker.

Who is this Zidane guy trying to hijack our deal!? He needs to know his place
