EL APACHE TEVEZ said:still got a feeling he will be here before september.
So we have 3 strikers when we play with 2 up top when aguero and jovetic both seem to be injury prone. 2 players for each position as pellegrini says, we don't destroy the balance of our squad just so we can all see a transferojeme said:SingBlueSilva said:*If* he came, why couldn't he be the other one to be left out of CL until Jan? Promise him more games in cups and PL. Would show his commitment to Pelle and his new teammates so 1 doesn't have to sacrifice a place for him.citytill1die84 said:As it stands we need to leave 1 player out anyway. If we sign ISCO we need to leave 2 out so imo not going to happen.
Not that it would happen mind.
No we don't need to keep him out of the CL. Here's what to do: loan Negredo out and adopt a strategy of 3+5 as against 4+4 (Forwards+AMs) plus leave caballero out of CL. He shouldn't feel bad about this since he's 30+ and Joe Harts back up
Reasons why I'd love to have him in the team:
1 long term replacement for silva who's 28 now
2 he can play from left which would allow silva play in. His most devastating role - behind the striker
3 we have the money to spend (23 plus nasty or some other folk)
4 silva's frailties (why not plan for eventualities rather than pray they don't occur)
He isn't going to be 28 forever and also could get injured. Although we have managed without him in the past, we don't really have anybody else to do what he does.supercrystal7 said:I don't think Isco will leave. I think it was telling in the super cup that Khedira and Di Maria did not get on for the super cup. With Madrid though you never know and there is a lot of politics. I am still unsure why City fans want Isco so much. David Silva is still by far the better player, does the same thing and is only 28.

What Madrid coaches and a lot of coaches say in general means nothing. Madrid have played this game many times before and the players have been sold more times than not.Rammyblues said:The reason maybe this is still alive is becaue Ancellotti has been saying Khediera and Di Maria are not for sale. If those two are staying Isco maybe the one to be put on the list or loaned out.
Not that I want isco so much. But he is a better goalscorer that silva. In other areas, silva is mostly better.supercrystal7 said:I don't think Isco will leave.

True, because despite striking the ball very well, Silva somehow misses a lot of chances. That being said Isco is not going to move to sit on the bench at any club except for Madrid or possibly Barcelona. Silva as I said is still young enough and Isco is not going to come to City to be his understudy.jared said:Not that I want isco so much. But he is a better goalscorer that silva.

Nah Silva misses way too many easy chances to like scoring. I know ironically he did score today. He should get more goals. I am not serious about him actually not liking scoring, but it is a genuine criticism that he misses too many easy chances. He is not quite as bad as Ozil, who does not even shoot,, but it's a weakness in his game.Dave Ewing's Back 'eader said:jared said:Not that I want isco so much.

Silva likes scoring, witness the few occasions when he does, but I think he really feels his game is on song when he delivers assist after assist. If we have the strikers firing live ammo with Silva providing the bullets, it is the best combination in the PL.
Not as mouthwatering as the names on the paper. Too many players looking to do the same thing and not as balanced as I would like. Would much rather have even a more direct player than Isco in that team like Bale, Reus, Di Maria, Draxler etc.ojeme said:supercrystal7 said:True, because despite striking the ball very well, Silva somehow misses a lot of chances.

He doesn't have to be Silva's understudy but can fight it out with Nasri for a place in attacking right or left of midfield. Consider an attacking combination of ST: Aguero, ST2: Jovetic, AML: Silva, AMR: Isco. Mouthwatering don't you think so?
