Isco

Have we had any seemingly solid links to him, or is this just a wish thread?

No Ronnie spoke to a Spanish guy who said he was coming so now all the usual transfer forum suspects have cum in there pants

Thats a bit premature! ;)

Is he good enough to take Nasri's place in the starting line up ?

I've watched him about 5 times and think 17m for him at 20 years old is a no-brainer. It really would be unwise to pass when we're throwing 15m at Rodwell and maybe Zaha.

Watch his highlights so far this season and you decide

Considering his buyout is 17m and any new contract will likely raise that price to 30m+, this deal makes sense regardless of Nasri. I think he likely is good enough to replace Nasri, and frankly it would be downright stupid not to pursue him considering our need for a tricky wide player. Stop throwing away money on players like Sinclair and buy someone who could become world class, so at least we won't have to throw away more money to replace players Mancini won't use. Fans are talking about blowing 40m+ on Bale who is very one-dimensional when this kid, who is a complete player, is available for less than half.

I watched the video...now I definitely agree we should buy him! Forget Zaha, Bale and all the other overpriced players we are constantly linked with! We cant be stung with a big transfer fee with this guy, £17m max...lets go for it!

That's a great idea I didn't think of that. Will do so on Monday cheers mate:-)

Right, show us your bet receipt, minimum bet of a ton or you're bullshitting ;)

Will place the bet tomoz and scan in the receipt.

Can we see? ;)

With our squad the big worry for him if he came would be game time at the moment he's playing every game

Someone with an English name

So you admit you don't know who you would leave out!? For me he is a left of the three up front so who would you leave out?

Seeing as we play with two attacking midfielders every game (either Nasri and Silva, or Silva with Tevez in a deeper role) it would be wise to have three of them. This would cover for loss of form, injuries, and also put pressure on our existing players to maintain their good standards.

We could always play two and rest one. Not to mention it might solve our attacking issues if the worst happens and Silva gets an injury!

I don't see this potential buy as a problem in terms of squad size. The problems arise more when you consider we need a midfielder with Xabi Alonso type capabilities, and a new striker who isn't Balotelli...

He'll be a squad player and not guaranteed starting role like mist of our squad! The only guaranteed starting players are Hart Kompany YAYA and silva

i'm sure he's good but is their any need to buy another playmaker? we already have Nasri and Silva with Suarez coming through, it'd just seem a bit of a waste of money to me...

He's got better ability at taking on players and offers more width than Nasri or Silva.

Suarez is about 4 years away and Isco is starring for a team that walked into the CL qualificationa and does well in La Liga. He certainly isn't a waste of money, a waste of money is buying Downing for £20million. Isco at £17m is a snip.

For what it's worth, it's probably Nasri that would be most under threat. It would also give us the opportunity to rest Silva. Unfortunately we can't afford to stand still because the CL has proven that we're not as good as some think, and English players are too expensive and lack the technical ability that players like Isco have in abundance. How much was Downing? Henderson? And these two aren't fit to lace this lads boots.

I would say are team is better than 4 or 5 teams that are in the next round of the CL all the CL has shown me is what I already knew, that Mancini is clueless in Europe

i didn't mean waste of money as in he's not worth £17m but as in paying £17m for something we already have, but if he is as good as people say which a lot of people seem to be saying maybe we should spend it on him
