Hamann Pineapple said:There is a small chance City are playing a brilliant PR game here, let all the papers talk bollocks all week then introduce Pellegrini with the fanfare of beating the mighty Madrid to Isco's signature. Then again, I could be wrong, I'm not often right.

Madrid have reportedly agreed fee and terms.
City / Pellegrini are meeting with Isco's heads today.
He hasn't signed anywhere yet.
Lots of posters have outed themselves as serious loons.

You can tell the threads fucked up when we are on about Normal Wisdom
Let's face it, it's been fucked up for about the last 100 pages!

Think about it. If he wants to play regularly then Real Madrid is NOT the place to go. There are just too many quality players playing in the positions he plays in (Ozil & Modric to name but two). His wage demands will not be a problem to us and he knows our new Manager will pick him and he has a good relationship with him to boot.
Only if Pérez has given him a guaranteed starting spot would he consider Real. I can't see that happening myself.

It'd be impossible to guarantee something like that to a player. It would be to the detriment of the club if they guarantee he'll play. If he plays gash, they can't drop him either because of a promise (in which case player is unhappy), or because of a contractual clause (which pisses the team off, the manager and potentially makes the team less successful). So I'm hopeful he sees sense.

They let us have Isco, we let them have Cavani?Train said:From Goal -
Los Blancos are keen to develop an understanding with the Premier League side in order to avoid a transfer battle for mutual targets, following their understanding with Tottenham
MADRID & MAN CITY IMPROVE RELATIONS
Real Madrid seem to be increasing their sphere of influence in the Premier League.
The Sweeper understands the Spanish giants are keen to develop a decent working relationship with fellow rich boys Manchester City.
Both clubs have been in pursuit of Malaga wonderkid Isco and Napoli's Edinson Cavani during the current transfer window but the two superpowers are keen not to spark a bidding war on mutual targets going forward.
Madrid president Florentino Perez is a business associate of City's owner Sheikh Mansour, and regularly spends time in Abu Dhabi.
Sources have indicated that a 'degree of understanding' now exists between the two clubs, with Madrid already having a strategic alliance with Tottenham in terms of sharing important information.
