Beat me to it Sideshow Bob. Christ, imagine a midfield containing both Isco and Pogba. It would be like real-life Championship Manager!!

As an afterthought, if the rumours are true about Pogba going to Real then why not go after Sami Khedira as well as Isco? Would fit well in central midfield and Real would have a surplus of midfielders so would need to get rid of one or two.

Not necessarily. You could actually change the system (as discussed in other threads) to a 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1. Imagine Fernandinho and Pogba behind a three of Silva, Toure and Isco. Now that is a midfield to make the mouth water and would be the stuff of dreams!!

I really really like Nasri, but I also recognise that things sometimes need refreshing cos that's the way it is - for that reason alone i'd not be disappointed to see him go if Isco came in. Isco's just as talented, if not potentially more so, and five years younger.

I caught bits last night of RM. Isco took a ball down over the shoulder and retained it laid it off the crowd love him. I also think he is bomb proof now at Madrid, unless Modric walks back in and he gets dropped.He is a class player and better now than most of our MF . Just on a side issue the desire to go a full 90 mins was in stark contrast when you look at us yesterday with the season going belly up we looked gone.

Thanks for the heads-up mate. That is a real pity for us as he (Isco) would be my dream signing for next season. I don't know what to say about the lack of desire that's not already been said as it seems to be petering out like Bobby Manc's last season but without the cup final to look forward to.

I'm leaning towards that if we have to let him or Silva go, we actually keep Nasri. I got no real argument for it except the ones already put out by Sparty, plus the fact that we would get a lot of money for Silva. Nasri I think will only get better and is more suited for the defensive duties that Pellegrini requires of players. Silva might have peaked. I don't know, it's not a well thought out thing or nothing. Just a thought.

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

Our team are a bunch of old cunts managed by an old cunt.

We need to mix it the fuck up, and fast.

Kids, and a new gaffer.

Some sales in the summer. Adding a couple of high quality cunts after selling 4 or 5 and replacing the difference with kids.

Let's fucking get things moving here dammit.

We're like pond water.

cheers

I've always been a Nasri licker - even when it was fashionable to hate him a couple of years back. In fact it's one of the few things me and Piccs really disagre on regarding City if I recall correctly. i'd like to see him stay at City. He will be 28 at the start of the next season, so age wise he should be in his prime and a perfect mentor for the kids (hopefully) coming into the squad next season.

Isco is a good player, but he's playing for Real Madrid, in Spain.

Nasri is playing for City, in the Premier League. City are getting pelters for losing at Liverpool, but when Barca & Real Madrid come up against decent Spanish teams who are up for it, they sometimes fuck up as well. Most of the time, it's a stroll for them though. It isn't for City over here, nor for Nasri.

It's not a fair comparison. If Nasri was bumped out for Isco, it might be an improvement, but it's not going to be a world beating improvement, & we may still have the same problem vs teams like Liverpool. The problem of fitting in Isco & Silva in those games, is likely to be very similar to the problem of fitting in Nasri & Silva.

Isco in a game like that for City, with no Ronaldo to turn to, when it's his job to win it, is entirely different to what Isco faces on a daily basis.

No guarantee he will be more effective over a season than Nasri. Samir has done a good job at City.

I think good is what he was. On the way to being outstanding Ted, he has the crowd drooling at his poise on the ball. Modric is 30 and will be the perfect example of a top player get injured to find the show has moved on a notch and so will he. 21 mill now Madrid could get 50 mill all day long. Isco is a poster boy I said it break the bank get the deal done 20 offer 25 mill at the time to blow Madrid out of the water.

We get several examples of this absolute nonsense every season. A new flavour of the month. If Madrid get 50mil for Isco, it will be from Utd or PSG. If we pay it we are fucking mugs. Five goals in 37 games for Real Madrid, in Spain.

He showed vs Liverpool, that he can probably play in the Premier League. Probably. Isco might improve our team. Might. He also might struggle.

He might be an improvement on Nasri, he might not.

Pity, we had to beat them to Isco as we had a lap start, maybe that is the type of deal we have to be getting over the line like Hazard as well.
