City boss Stuart Pearce was eager to clinch the deal for 6ft 6ins Isaksson following the departure of David James to Portsmouth last week. 此前曼城队在访问中国的比赛结束后，将本队的主力门将，英格兰队替补门将詹姆斯转让给了朴茨茅斯队，这也促使曼城队不得不在英超开赛以前尽快得到一名新门将。
Insua made his first team debut during the 2-1 defeat at Portsmouth in April 2007. 因苏阿的首次上场是在对阵朴斯茅斯队时。
