Re: Isco (Part 8 (weekend saga part 3))
The quote I have seen is this:- Speaking to AS, Isco refused to confirm who he would be signing for but did say of Real: "Madrid excites me. They are one of the best teams in the world."
It doesn't say he is or isn't signing for them in fact it says fuck all

Re: Isco (Part 8 (weekend saga part 3))
I said earlier in the thread that I reckon he will go to Real Madrid.
However, if on the off chance he comes to us does it no bother anyone that he want s to come (mainly) because of the manager? I mean, what happens if he gets sacked after 6 months, does Isco leave? What happens if Isco turns out to be shit, does Pelli have to play him all the time because he is his 'father in football'?
They are just a couple of concerns

Re: Isco (Part 8 (weekend saga part 3))
The quote is not old. You have your head firmly in the sand, so desperate to believe he is coming to us. You're like one of those Christians who say the world is 6,000 years old and any evidence to the contrary is met by insults and fingers in ears. I want Isco to join City but every piece of evidence points him to Real and you (and others) find ways to dismiss any piece of that evidence - even when the English journos are now saying it (all of them rags of course!). Would you bet your account vs. mine that Isco will join City/Real?

Completely agree with this. I'm not a pessimist when it comes to City and transfers, but it strikes me that this deal is done to Madrid.
Really surprises me though that people think this is such a blow if we don't sign him. The characteristics which Isco has can be found in many players across Europe. Isco just happens to be flavour of the month and one of the easier transfers to do because his club are financially fucked and therefore have to sell him.

According to AS (inb4 "Spanish media!"), the hold up is whether Real Madrid will loan Cheryshev to Malaga. People saying Isco's quotes are old are wrong - he said it yesterday and was reported to be very excited as he said it. I think people are really clutching at straws - every bit of evidence points to a Real Madrid move and the player himself implied it without being able to confirm it (as the clubs are in the final haggling process over the loan of a player before it's all signed). AS say it could be announced Thursday or Friday.

Re: Isco (Part 8 (weekend saga part 3))
You've been made an offer by one of the most glamorous clubs in the world. You get to stay in Spain in a culture you're familiar with. You will have a top class manager. You're more likely to play for the national team playing for a Spanish club. You have a chance of playing in a CL final or semi final most seasons. The downside is there's lots of competition in your position.
If you go to City you play under a manager you know and trust plus you'll get plenty of games but the club is still very much in a development phase. We've never got out of the CL group phase. You're in an unfamiliar culture (although there are plenty of Spanish speakers). Perhaps you'd be tempted if we offered stupid money but we don't do that anymore.
I know exactly what you're saying. But let's play devils advocate for a minute.sam-caddick said:

Raggi is a Moroccan porn actor. Proof you are a RAG if I ever needed it...
"Raggi has been active since 1994. In late 2011 Raggi suddenly departed from the adult industry[citation needed] due to reports of a drug-related arrest. Raggi appeared in a large portfolio of various adult videos, mainly European hardcore anal pornography."

Re: Isco (Part 8 (weekend saga part 3))
We learn the lesson once again- speed is everything. For 27 days of the January window, Isco had a 17m buyout. Many on the forum begged City to act. We didn't act. He signed his new contract on 28 January. Then all the messing around with Pellegrini's confirmation, letting him go to the U21 and having an outstanding performance.
We waited too long, each time thinking we could get a better price later. Whatever we were trying to save wasn't worth what we lost. Meanwhile Perez just rolled in and slapped down the cash, game over.

He was pictured wearing a City shirt. That'll do it for me.

Are we trying to sweeten the deal or make sure he ends up at Madrid?
