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.

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.
