Isco

[Strike 7,217]

Isco and Kovacic for Hazard? I would take the offer if Hazard is set on leaving. 

Who else can the club sign who are of similar quality?

They would be filling different wholes, though. 

 

Isco plus 50m~ would be much more enticing.

Isco, Kovacic and £100m would only be acceptable.

Isco, Kovacic and £100m would only be acceptable.

Everytime Hazard opens his mouth and says something about RM, his value goes down.   

 

 

We will be lucky to even get 100m if he continues at this rate.

It makes sense for them. Their AMF's are shit, plus it sticks the dagger in our backs over the Eden deal, forcing an all-cash or a Kovacic plus cash deal, and takes one of the few available great AMF's off the market. RM will never toss us Varane or Kroos, they have no strikers we would want, and I doubt they would give up Asensio. Asensio btw, has ONE league goal all year, 4 in total (3 were in two games versus a horrid 3rd division team, UD Melilla) in 25 games. I am sure they are banking on James (who comes back from Loan at Bayern Munich) to replace Isco.

We should demand Kovacic, LW Vinícius Júnior (12 goals produced (6 goals, 6 assists) in only 777 minutes as an 18yo, with  a MASSIVE upside) and RB Álvaro Odriozola or even better, RB Achraf Hakimi (who has been a beast at Borussia Dortmund, again with a MASSIVE upside).

Will we? Hell no.

I see us getting Kovacic plus £60 or £70m at best for Eden in the summer. If we play stall-ball, RM will just sign him on a free in 17 months, or a charity offer of £30m to £45m or so a year from now.

 

With Havertz, Talisca, and Isco off the board, WC or near WC AMF's who actually score a lot and are remotely available are really thin:

 

Nabil Fekir

Pablo Sarabia (my choice)

Julian Draxler (can play LW too)

Hakim Ziyech (Ajax)

 

and 2 who are oki, but have not taken off like I thought they would

Pablo Fornals (Villarreal)

Carlos Soler (Valencia)

finally the one we missed out on

Aleksandr Golovin

 

thats it, only 4 really solid ones

so relieved we missed out on golovin. has been complete rubbish at monaco. the low level of the world cup and the russian league flattered him but he is a below average player.

Isco breaks silence over Real Madrid future after Chelsea transfer link

https://metro.co.uk/2018/12/30/isco-breaks-silence-real-madrid-future-chelsea-transfer-link-8293555/

Isco has played down reports linking him with a move to Chelsea by claiming that he will not be leaving Real Madrid in the January transfer window. Earlier this month, reports claimed that Chelsea will submit a £70 million offer to sign the Spain international in January. Isco has fallen down the pecking order at Madrid since Santiago Solari replaced Julen Lopetegui as manager in October. The 26-year-old has started only one match since Solari took charge and has made another six appearances as a substitute. The midfielder was also booed by Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu during their 3-0 defeat to CSKA Moscow in the Champions League.

Isco ‘not remotely thinking about’ leaving Real Madrid for Chelsea, or anywhere else

No Santiago Bernabéu exit in the winter transfer window

https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2018/12/31/18162579/isco-not-remotely-thinking-about-leaving-real-madrid-for-chelsea-or-anywhere-else

The Eden Hazard to Real Madrid rumours are of the undying kind. They probably won’t even end if he signs his contract extension with Chelsea.

The latest version involves a couple player swaps, with Isco and Mateo Kovačić coming Chelsea’s way while Eden would head in the opposite direction.

While Kovačić, who’s already on loan for the season at Chelsea would love to become a Chelsea player on a permanent basis, Isco is not a lot less keen. In fact, despite not featuring as often this season as in seasons past, he remains very happy at Real Madrid.

“I am not remotely thinking about leaving Real Madrid in the January transfer window, as I am very happy here.”

“My objective is to continue winning many more titles with Real Madrid.”

-Isco; Source: Evening Standard

Not much room left for interpretation there! Isco wants to stay and doesn’t want to leave.

Things can always change quickly in football, but we can safely rule out Isco-to-Chelsea for the foreseeable future, both on its own merits and as part of any potential Hazard deal.

each game I see

IF they offer players

for Eden

I say go for Vinícius Júnior as part of it

he looks clearly the best RM player last 3 games I have seen

far better in potential and play atm than Asensio

I could so live with

Eden swapped for

LW Vinícius Júnior

RB Achraf Hakimi (will perhaps be close to the best RB in world someday, already top 10 IMHO)

CF Mariano Díaz (perfect back up or 3rd striker)

b/u GK Keylor Navas

that would be superb business

[Vesper 28,772]

sweeeeeet, nil 2 Real Sociedad

RM is in tatters

Isco looks like shit
