Isco

[ped]

ISCO is not a player for the future - he is good enough to play in most teams now - he is the star player for Malaga who got robbed against Dortmund in CL QF so is well capable of playing at the top level.

What he also has is the POTENTIAL to be one of the best players around on the planet.

This is exactly the same as Hazard - I'm not flapping but I believe these are both players that we could have bought and sold 3 / 4 years later and made money - IMHO we let both of these players slip through our fingers due to c*ck ups - Both should have been done and dusted before other clubs showed their hands. Thats if it was possible of course as i only have opinion not all the facts

no body has cocked up ,it looks like he had a choice between madrid and city ,he chose real,why does there have to be a scapegoat,i f****ing dispare

He hasn't chosen anyone yet other ways it would be all over ssn and the likes

my mistake,your correct,its just annoying,that 1 or 2 posters are talking of cock ups and f***k ups ,when we all know f.a

"Don't worry we aren't that desparate"

Lost it there.

They've already signed 2 top players.

Who have Man Utd signed?

We have signed two players who will complement our side. They are however not Grade 1 players like Kun, Silva, Yaya, Tevez and Kompany.

IMO it's not about signing Grade 1 players, it's about signing players that will make City a Grade 1 team.

i know a lot on here didnt think we would win the title with Barry in the team the rest is history :)

Man Utd look set to get Thiago Alcantara , Arsenal looking likely to get Higuain. 2 brilliant players and if you consider who they've been linked with, we are certainly behind that pack.

And for all you know we could be 'set to' sign a big name. The Thiago thing may take a while if it goes through at all, Barca are trying hard to keep him. BTW I'd bet money on Fernandinho having a bigger instant impact than Thiago. He is experienced and proven in the Champions League. Just not a 'flavour of the month' Spaniard... Oliver Torres and Sergi Samper could be as good as Thiago in a couple of years.

While they are still rumors ( Though according to some they are nailed on) you cannot have the attitude that we've signed this player therefore we are ahead of the rest because, like you have just mentioned, a transfer can happen like that. We need to bridge the gap between us and United after the RVP signing and ,despite how good Fernandinho and Navas are, we are still that little bit behind them. Last season, we didn't have a game-changer whilst United relied on RVP to help them escape from jail numerous occasions. I really feel that we need that marquee guy that can not only bring us the title, but also help us challenge in the Champions league stage.

Agree

Preparing ambiguous statements that can be construed any direction they need it to go in a few days.

Fernandinho rated the 38th best player in the world last season above Bale and lots of others ....he cannot be that bad FFS

 

[lost_n_spaced]

For the record, and so we're clear, I don't claim to be an ITK and so care very little (other than for the fact that I'd really like us to sign him) about whether THE INFORMATION POSTED ON ANOTHER FORUM BY ANOTHER POSTER is correct or not.

Feel free to hold me in lower regard if Isco isn't a City player by this evening / goes to Real.

:D

Rushts and Kev, abort Chester services and Barton airfield. Get to ashburys quick. They've fooled us all, he's coming by train!!!!!
Sneaky barca boys.

It's a smokescreen bud, we've got it covered between us.

I've left the wheels outside Cheshire Oaks bud...... You ain't seen me right ;-)

Man City boss Pellegrini made personal plea to Real Madrid bound Isco

A source said: “He called Isco himself in a bid to talk him round and made it clear how important he would be to the team. It remains to be seen if it made a difference though.”

Fernandinho is as good as anyone in midfield

Some people are truly clueless aren't try Marvin.

Fernandinho not grade 1 my arse.

Clueless and irritating.

Spent many a year watching rubbish, and the team we have now is something we'd never have even dreamed about

Let hope you are right,I'm not quite so sure he will be the game changer many seem to think. Don't get me wrong,he may well get that extra bit out of the players but a manager can only do so much. I think if we don't strengthen our forward line we will come up short regardless of what Pellegrini can bring. Just my take on it.
