Isco

I really hope this one has legs and in hindsight I'm glad we didn't get him under Pellegrini who was dialing it in by the time we thought we were getting him.

Would be an absolutely quality addition.

Yaya is great at recycling the ball and picking a pass. Just signs that Yaya gets caught in possession a little more often of late - and teams will increasingly target him as a way of stopping us playing. Next season we need someone more mobile in the pivot role.

No thank you very much

Not a question aimed at me but I would rotate him with silva and Toure

He could, but he'll be 30, and Isco 24. Selling Nasri for the £24m clause would nearly finance Isco, who's a younger, hungrier replacement without the history of losing motivation and injury history.

I thought through clause for Nasri was £16m? That's what was reported in El Confidencial?

Was a question aimed at anybody to be honest,as I said wasn't a dig at TS...just was interested as to who would be left out to make way,in a general opinion way.

I watched the game v Villareal and Isco's defensive work was superb. He was everywhere. Hopefully we can have him rotate with Silva, KDB and Gundogan in the #8 role.

There will be 5 players fighting for 3 spots. In theory I think Silva, Debryune and Isco will get the most games is everyone was healthy with Gundo getting a little fewer and Dihno getting the fewest.

But we need not predict. Have all 5 starter material and it would play itself out.

Ps: in my iteration of things, we don't resign Yaya.

I think Yaya deserves to stay on merit for his performances this season, and besides, depth is vital.

We're also likely to keep Fernando, though he'll only play sparingly.
