That initially came out weeks ago.JonnyBoi said:It's come out today that Nasri will be given a chance to impress by Pellegrini. Him and Isco are similar players so might have already accepted defeat in the race to sign him?

I accept there is not a bottomless pit with FFP; However Isco still seemed a bargain at what RM are reported to have agreed. He's a future star!NipHolmes said:Plain Speaking said:I dont think he is questioning our owners committment and funding but the decision not to match what RM were offering?NipHolmes said:Do you honestly think money is a problem?
A guy who's spent a billion on City on and off field and just bought NYCFC ffs. Biggest wage bill in EPL, best squad in EPL. Jesus Christ. We can't pay buyout on him because it will scupper other deals. Imagine you're at an auction, you want 3 items and they cost say 90 which is 30 each. If you spend 40 on one it means you can't buy the other two and will sacrifice another item. It's that simple we have a plan, we stick to it, it's for the best. Sick of these narrowminded comments. Common sense dictates we are adhering to FFP and we have tailored our plans around it. Stick and no twist.
Isco is a special talent and we were in a unique situation.
It appears our team thought they could get him for less, due to the close relationship with Isco and Pelligrini.
This was a calculated risk that appears to have backfired?
A pity but we cant win them all!
Because of the auction anology I gave.

Well, if it's being pushed again today then it seems timely with Isco rumoured to be on his way to Madrid.
So many more twists and turns to come I suspect.

I don't understand one thing; if everything is done and dusted why Malaga isn't reporting it on its site, like happened with Sevilla and Shaktar for Navas and Fernandhino ?
To me there is stll hope and i would be very surprised if Pellegrini doesn't convince him to join us.

Hopefully Malaga are wating for a counter offer from us
