Huws? Rekik? Lopes? Bruno? Kelichi? Put down the crack pipe and understand this: not one of them will go on to be a regular in the first team. Ever. Not in a million fucking years. All will be lucky to play ten games in the Premiership. Not. Good. Enough.

Sunday Mirror: City will not be pursuing Isco this summer, with Mangala set to be the final signing of the window unless of another injury.

christen at St Marks said:Isco, 22, chose Real instead of joining his old Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad last summer when he signed for £25 million.
But with the multi-million arrival of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos, Isco looks like being another victim of Carlo Ancelotti’s superstar shake up.
Isco is now said to be considering a move away after coming to terms with the fact that he’s no longer needed at Real, which has also alerted Liverpool.
He would fill the void left by Alvaro Negredo’s injury as he faces two months on the treatment table after suffering a foot fracture.
The only stumbling block would be the £31m transfer fee with City hampered by UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules.
“There is a player at Real Madrid who arrived last summer and the next season will leave again”

But they could negotiate a loan deal at first for Isco who scored eight goals in 32 appearances for Real last season and earned two caps for Spain.
Pellegrini would love to bring in Isco which ever way he can as he strengthens his City squad for the defence of his Premier League title this season.
And the signs are clear that the City boss could make a move this week with Isco’s agent Francois Gallardo giving a mysterious clue to his future.

The Doctor said:Where is the basis for this very strong rumour that we are in for Isco?
Are we putting our wishful thinking hats on?

How on earth can you come to the conclusion that Kelechi, after one standout game aged 17 and after being named the best player in the World Cup for his age group, will 'never in a million fucking years' be good enough to be a regular in the first team? Educate me.

Manchester City won't pursue Real Madrid star Isco despite Alvaro Negredo's broken foot

Manuel Pellegrini is an admirer of the Spanish star, but the City boss will not be adding to his squad once the arrival of Eliaquim Mangala is confirmed
Sunday Mirror Sport understands that City’s summer recruitment drive will stop once the protracted £32million arrival of Eliaquim Mangala from Porto has been completed .
Negredo will be sidelined for at least two months after suffering the injury during City’s friendly victory at Hearts nine days ago.
And with both Sergio Aguero and Stevan Jovetic plagued by fitness problems last season, there were suggestions in Spain that City might launch another move for Isco.
The champions lost out to Real Madrid in the £25m race to sign the 22-year-old last summer when Manuel Pellegrini tried to bring the attacking midfielder with him from Malaga.
But Isco is surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu following Madrid’s capture of Colombian World Cup star James Rodriguez from Monaco.
Pellegrini is still an admirer of the player he nurtured as a teenager on the Costa del Sol but, after adding Mangala to previous summer signings Fernando, Willy Caballero and Bacary Sagna, City will close the chequebook.
A City source said: “Unless there is another injury to another key player, then Mangala will be the final addition to our squad in this transfer window.”
Stu ForsterCrocked: Alvaro Negredo will miss the start of the season
The Etihad club will still be open for business, however. Jack Rodwell is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, but City want a straight cash deal worth £10m for the midfielder rather than a loan arrangement.
There have been no takers either for £8m-rated Micah Richards, but Matija Nastasic is attracting interest from Arsenal, Inter Milan and Roma and Javi Garcia has been targeted by Napoli.
PSV Eindhoven are also desperate to land teenage defender Karim Rekik on a permanent deal after the Dutchman impressed on a year-long loan last season. Rekik, 19, has been given a chance to impress Pellegrini on City’s pre-season tour of the United States after breaking into Holland’s World Cup squad.
If a buyer can be found for Nastasic, Rekik will get the regular place in the City squad he craves. But Eindhoven boss Phillip Cocu believes he could develop into one of the world’s best defenders and is ready to pounce.

No, it was in the papers so it must be true. You can't trust a word out of that Pellegrini's mouth.uwe rosler 28 said:George Hannah said:reluctant to post links to the these publications so here is the text from the MirrorThe Doctor said:Off??? care to expand please.............
