Option A...sign Isco, sell Nasri
Option B....sign Cavani, sell Dzeko

dont say both...ffp might actually be a factor in this
im increasingly leaning for option A...especially as we now have some pace and delivery from out wide

Option A without question. Whatever it takes to sign Isco should be being done right now.

Love Isco, totally ambivalent about Nasri - love Dzeko, pretty 'meh' about Cavani - so obviously 'A' for me.

Plus if we sign Isco we would have no need for Nasri.

Isco, he's definitely got a little bit of magic about him.

I'll play devils advocate and say B.

I really like Isco and would love to see him in our colours, but our issue last year was goals.
We have an abundant amount of quality midfield players, so I think Cavani replacing Dzeko would give us more goals and hopefully more wins.

No point creating chances if we have no one to convert them.

Obviously would like us to sign Isco and get rid of Nasri but I would go with Option B.

Cavani is top class, 26, has been top scorer in Serie A for past 3 seasons. Last season we still created a lot of chances but we were not clinical and that was one of the main reasons why we finished 2nd.

Dzeko, excellent goalscoring record for us but the prospect of bringing in Cavani full stop is the over-riding factor here. We get Cavani, we will win the league. Him and Aguero up front, would be unbelievable.

actually now that you said this I think you have a point. last season we dropped points simply cause we didnt finish our chances.
but then again I love wingers and that Isco kid is young, looks skillful and has bags of potential. plus I like Dzeko so I'll go for option A.

also, I wonder how different this 'poll' would look if we weren't linked with Isco.
or Cavani for that matter

If option A.) was 'sign Isco and throw Nasri under a bus' I'd choose that.

I want to know what Hazy's inlaws think though.

You will probably find if ever a detailed analysis is done of our last 2 or 3 seasons, that even though we have huge numbers of shots on target, very few get through the sea of legs the player had o hit the ball through.

As a result I don't blame the strikers for last season, but the approach we took that we walked he ball through the oppositions area more often than not, an approach that failed quite often from December 2011 until may.

A different approach will see the quality strikers we have full their boots, so I'm really not overly arsed about Cavani, but I would like another magician so option a for me

Defo Isco but I really really want Cavani.

A for me. Just because I think with wingers we will get a much better performance from Dzeko and it won't cost £50 mil + and that will help our FFP

Definitely A, based on performances from the last two seasons; also, I have a good feeling about Isco.

Option A by miles, Seen too much family sprouting crap from Cavani's 'camp' and get the feeling he is taking us for a jolly ride.

Plus i reccon i could score goals in Italy! ;-)

Probably on my own but i havent given up on nasri yet. If he plays with a freedom we saw vs Chelsea he could surprise a few people.

Either will do for me as Isco will be more promising than Nasri and would prefer Cavanni to Edin.

Neither

Buy Isco, keep Nasri, keep Dzeko.

Dzeko and Aguero if they give their best then we really dont need Cavani, not with the stupid money atleast.

Remember when Dzeko was good on counter attack, with Navas in team Dzeko can do better. Also Dzeko does provide some useful assists, misses sitters at times but I am not really sure how good of an improvement Cavani will be over Dzeko.

Dzeko with improved work rate is no less than Cavani. And Nasri is going to shine.

I'm in this crew.
I think Dzeko has tons of potential in right system and if Pellegrini can really fire him up, which is supposed to be his thing, I really don't see much diference between him and Cavani. In fact, I see lot of bust potential with Cavani as well. He definitely needs right system around him too. And this doesn't bother me as much as many other supporters but Cavani can look clumsy occasionally as well.

This Isco kid, I really like him. I don't think he is surefire star but he is already million miles more dynamic than Nasri and has potential to be fantastic.

Once again I find myself agreeing with you. The quality of the chances, the clear cut ones if you like, seemed thinner on the ground last season.

Nasri has underperformed for the majority of his time with us, and we could probably still get a reasonable fee for him, which would go someway to paying for Isco, so I'd be happy for us to sell him.

Whilst Cavani has been excellent in Italy, his fee would be extortionate, and so with our current strikers (extending Tevez's contract for a year or 2), and the impact of Navas and Isco into the side, I think we'd score far more goals next season. Dzeko, particularly, would benefit I believe.
