Z-25 12 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I think I remember reading somewhere that Isco has a minimum release clause of under £20m.Great player if this transfer happens, can be utilised in various roles. fingers-crossed!I just hope we stay away from the overrated Willian.

OReillyD36 311 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 If it happens brilliant but screams luxury signing. From what I've seen of him has been behind the striker, can he play in a deeper midfield role (dlp, cm)? If not i'd probably prefer Benat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg 1,824 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Joke? He plays Better than Oscar till now...Yes, because he is the main player at his club & Pellegrini use him in the best way, Oscar mus play much deeper for me, and most play more.

There needs to be competition for places, and alternatives for each game. All five are amongst the most talented young players in the game for their own positions and all have different characteristics. It will create an awful lot of competition amongst them keeping everyone at the top of their game and fresh, and preventing the team from becoming overly reliant on one or two players.It's no different to United trying to stockpile wingers over the years when they can only play 2 at a time.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Amazing player, but we don't need him.I am seriously worried we will fuck things up, buying more players than the neccessary (for the same attacking positions and forget about the defense and pivot) and too young... yuvala 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 First of all this player is fantastic player. However he is NOT what we need. He is CAM. And we have Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Kdb and Marin who all play there. And 4 of them could easily be starters and should be. We dont need Isco to be backup, competition or whatever. Oscar is already there, as well Marin and Kdb on the way. Too many players is not always best thing. The second thing is that we need CM to play in pivot. Even a CM puts some doubts that Oscar will ever be our starter if some good CM actualy comes. With Moses, Mata and Hazard I dont see starting spot for Oscar. That means, Isco is totaly unneccesary, he is great talent but we will never have them all and we shouldnt. Go after Benat, Camacho, Essien, Kdb, Capoue, Bender , Gundogan, Sissoko or Hernanes instead... The Mak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'd rather a player like Schurrle who can do a job on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Leif 6,006 Posted January 5, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted January 5, 2013 Don't understand the people who think we don't need him. Whenever we rest either Hazard or Mata our team is simply not good enough in attack. We want to be a TOP club don't we? Well a TOP club has many TOP players fighting for EACH position. Who's threatening Hazard and Mata? Oscar and Piazon? lol no. Oscar has potential and is a good player. Piazon isn't even an AM, neither is Moses, Marin etc. We're one of the richest clubs in the world and the current European Champions. Why settle for anything other than the very best?McEachran doesn't play AM. De Bruyne is clearly a future pivot player. Marin is a winger - simple as that. He wouldn't be a 'back up' option. He would be a top rotation player which we need.Jeez. People talk about how we need more strikers when we've got Torres and Ba yet think we're 'ok' when it comes to our creative midfielders. No.We play around 2 games a week these days. Again - what happens when we rest Mata or Hazard?..... and why does that happen? Because our options aren't good enough when it comes to rotation.Do people not realise how incredible Isco's talent is? Anything near the reported price would be a steal. bababoom, Z-25, Mufassir08 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,944 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Would be an excellent signing to rotate regularly with Mata and Hazard. You see how much better Mata performs when he's refreshed. He'd be playing under a Spanish couch, we have a nice Spanish contingent with plenty of young players he can grow with, and it would be yet another reason for Pep to want to come here.Plus he's one of those who if the time ever came to sell, he'd turn an enormous profit.Anything under £20m is a steal for a talent like Isco.
