Isco

[decmancity]

I will get mocked here but if you play Nasri in the right position and with very good man management you will get a more effective player.

You will get a fantastic player.
The season before we bought him he scored 17 goals, get that again if not more and we are doing ourselves a huge favour with our title charge.

I rate Nasri very very highly.

Your entitled to your opinion. As am I - i.e.
8 good games in 2 seasons does not a top class player make.
GET SHOT.

Being played out of position for two years under a notoriously poor man manager makes a good player poor. You could argue.

He won't be sold so no point arguing about it really.

Yeeeees I've finally managed to catch up up on today's episode of this thread. It's only taken me since 9:30 :D

We really do have the best fans in the world - thanks to everyone for another day's entertainment. This thread is/has been amazing.

As much as I want to concede the isco saga is over, and I'm pretty sure it is, there's still just a strange little glimmer of hope that there'll be a random twist in the next day or so. Not saying there will be, just a gut feeling (or that could just been my tea repeating).

What wrong with a little hope eh?

Off to bed and I'll sign out with......

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

 

[Damien10]

With a happy or sad ending?

That's unknown. Isco's yet to commit to any contract.

Why are you so sure that he will commit to a contract by the end of the day?

You can only wait for so long untill you are forced to make up you'r mind. Isco's no different.

Nasri was reasonable in 11/12 imo. If we got rid of every player who was poor last season, we'd be getting rid of half of the squad, I'm not sure why Nasri is singled out.

Ramos siguiendo Isco :(

so Ramos isn't allowed to 'follow' a fellow compatriot without it spelling doom and gloom within bluemoon? could mean nothing, only time will tell my friend.

 

[johnmc]

Think the thing is if he has just followed him recently as in today

 

[rushts]

Right, i've had enough, i'm rigging up the shisha pipe and gonna do some herb.

I will be back in half an hour.

 

[mancityscot]

Personally think he's 99% certain to go to real :(

 

[thruxton]

please ask yourself how far we have come??. We are competing with RM for one of Spain's top rated players. Think about that. it wasnt that long ago we had Corluka, Dunne, Ireland, Petrov, Garrido, Benjani, Gelson Fernandes, Caicedo etc etc. I remeber tripping dicks when we signed Elano for fuck sakes

We are ok, we are in good hands and so what, because a spanish wonderkid wants to play for the biggest side in spain we get all bent out of shape? He is a great player but he is not the only player. How many of you really cringe when you see Hazard play and go "fuck we could have signed him" We kicked on then and we will kick on now

Your talkin about Silva , Silva is that good its a joke the way he whips them corners in , pure joy 2 watch

 

[zeven]

Am i understanding this right. Isco will sign for Madrid, City are happy and dont really care. City will not pursue Cavani or isco anymore and are happy with their business done this summer. If Tevez get sold maybe another strikers will be purchased.


hmm i think we need one huge signing just to get the entiusiasm up in the squad last year we didnt have the believe.

@BarcaTheOffside - The Marca front page says that Cruyff thinks that "having signed Neymar, I'd contemplate selling Messi".

 

[Chi-town blues]

OK now I'm done with Hazard Saga v 2.0

Exactly Nasri I don't think has had 10 good games for City.

I know they were meaningless friendlies but imagine if Isco arrived and put in the performances Nasri did in the US against Chelsea in two friendlies. People would be in universal agreement that we'd signed the next Iniesta and whatever we'd paid was an absolute snip. I can also guarantee that Isco's bloody wonder goal against Norway has added hundreds of flapping posts to this thread.

Whether Isco comes or not (I want him to), I think Nasri can step up this year, particularly with a father-figure manager like he had in his Arsenal days and hopefully without carrying injuries.
You also need to remember that the arrival of Navas means he won't be playing out of position most games in an attempt to give us width - a burden Silva wasn't lumbered with.

For all those bemoaning the fee of Fernandinho - maybe the board/management thought he was worth more because he represents a greater upgrade to our first team than Isco....here's a crazy thought, maybe Pellegrini wanted Fernandinho more than Isco.

Keep the faith.

Thats the spirit but how can we have a disco without isco?

Wow, according to tomorrow Gazzetta Ancelotti will ask to Real Madrid to make a move for El Shaarawy including Kakà and cash in the swap

hahaha

If Madrid end up spending huge again like a few yeas ago and get their targets in Cavani/Suarez, Bale, Isco and now El Shaarawy... good luck Isco getting game time.

Your a fool if your a young player going Madrid.

Go there when your a developed player, not a developing player.

 

[zeven]

We need one or two more signings to compete next season. I dont trust the current krop of players to do the job, it feels they are not hungry enough.
