If the Mirror is right then that is great news... on both accounts!

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.

Better than Oscar.

Joke.

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

Better than Oscar.

Joke.

Joke? He plays Better than Oscar till now...

TRANSFERS: Sunday People Sport can reveal that Chelsea are close to announcing the £15million signing of Malaga's Isco

20 Millions, a bargain for his talent for me, but we have too much offensive midfielders.

Absolute bollocks, how can we be close to announcing this signing when he was playing but two hours ago?

[Heisenberg 1,824]

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.

Having an offensive midfield trio from Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Isco and Moses (can't see Marin making it here) sounds good to me. 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.

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...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Sounds like we're trying to do a Mancini and sign 20 players for three positions.
