That looks pretty damn good! I want a new left back and a new 4th striker(provided Tevez and Edin stay). Kolarov isn't good enough and I doubt Guidetti will contribute much having been out two full preseasons. I doubt he'll ever make it at our level.

I was just saying the exact same thing to a mate about an hour ago. Especially if Isco joins. We'll have added mobility, bite and strength in the middle, pace on the wings and guile to add to what we've already got. Bring it on!

[london blue 2]

I'm excited, if isco joins ill be ecstatic. If rodders and Micah stay fit we will be insanely strong. Agree about left back, our only soft (ish) spot if we rest big Gael.

Definitely up for the new season.I think sometimes, regardless of who the manager is, a change can really bring a fresh perspective to everything. There have been notable changes elsewhere too that, even from a non partisan perspective, I'm looking forward to.

If we get rid of Bazza I'm in dreamland.

[failsworthblue]

Its seems to centre around Isco and there is something in this.

We are building something really special and if he signs, then game over for everybody else.

Madrid know the threat and are willing to focus attention on him rather than keeping the fake one.

Huge Moment.

This is where I'm at too. Can't wait for the season to start but if Isco signs that will increase ten-fold.

[BobbyJ1956]

With Cavani apparently too dear at 53 million (and he is) it makes signing Isco all the more important, and then it's hard to see how they could ever get beat in the league. The only problem might be getting the new signings to blend into the team but when they do there'll be some poor sods on the end of a few 7 or 8 goal thrashings.

I also think we are potentially onto a good thing with this squad. Lest we not forget we finished second and the squad is being improved big time. Isco would be fantastic and I hear only good things about Fernandinho. Cavani is a good player but not at £50 plus million. Need a striker as I reckon Tevez is on his way.

Adding Tevez to Balotelli, and despite the fact that Pellegrini only really plays with one 'genuine' centre-forward, I reckon one new player will do. I'd go for Villa, as any young alternatives of international standing seem to be unavailable.
