Isco

[OneMoSalah 8,783]

And when Mata does play, what of Isco ?

Doubt he'd like being a squad player.

He can still play in the three cant he? Hes played as an AM and winger for Malaga much like Cazorla did under Pellegrini.

[yuvala 2,167]

Isco has played a lot on the right of midfield, he'd take Oscar's place in the team

He can still play in the three cant he? Hes played as an AM and winger for Malaga much like Cazorla did under Pellegrini.

Well I guess its possible.

But I though we were gonna have Oscar, Moses, Schurrle and KDB for these 3 positions, plus there are rumors about Di Maria. Thats more than enough players for rotations.

What we need is a striker, first.

[Thor 2,430]

Then what about Oscar? would you bench him?

I wouldn't.

I'd personally love to see him develop into a CM role.

Another reason why Isco is one of the few players I actually want us to pursue. We don't always need the most expensive player out, since they don't always work out in the team. I think Isco would be great, and hes not exactly the most expensive option out. If there is the option of Isco for 20 mil or Shcrulle for the same price, I'm taking Isco 10 times out of 10. Hes far more versatile, more technically gifted and has shown more promise.

I agree on Isco > Schurrle.

For the same price I would go for him aswell.

The only problem is that he will be more expensive

isco is a slow hazard. schurrle offers something different

[Berke 58]

isco would possibly be the biggest waste of money possible for us.

Exactly, he plays the no. 10 role. The same position as Mata. We have alternatives in the no. 10 spot (Oscar, Hazard, Moses even Marin)

[Berke 58]

Also we need a right midfielder, I would recommend a Valencia-esque type player, someone who will sprint down the wing and cross. We do not need a play-maker at right wing. I would like someone with pace like Di Maria or Schurlle, not a player who is quick over a short distance (Mata, Oscar, Isco)

[Special Juan 27,439]

Sanchez/Di Maria for the right, Mata centrally and Hazard left. Still think we need a top striker and a midfielder dictator and we are set to go.

Very much this.

Maybe a DM or CB depending how you view things, but yeah, pretty much it!

In any scenario, Isco is not needed...

‘Operation Isco’ is underway at Real Madrid. Málaga have asked for 35 million euros (the value of his buy-out clause) for the ‘Golden Boy’ of 2012, who arrived for seven million from Valencia, and extended his contract just a few months ago.Madrid are extremely interested in the player, but want to include players in the deal to lower the cash price.

Real Madrid are involved in talks with Málaga sporting director Mario Husillos, General Manager, Vicente Casado, the player’s lawyer, Rafael Comino and Isco’s father.

Francisco Martín Aguilar, Málaga director, admitted this morning that Madrid were keen on the midfielder. “Madrid are very interested in him. But so far there is nothing official”, he said. Manchester City and Monaco, amongst others, have also shown interest in the player.

isco is a slow hazard. schurrle offers something different

According to many, Schurrle doesnt offer anything.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Schurlle offers versatility and width. It's also a squad game, so Schurlle in over Benayoun is a marked improvement.

[lucio 5,418]

According to many, Schurrle doesnt offer anything.

pace , workrate , longshots ect. he offers allot

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

I'd be very very surprised if Isco doesn't end up at Man City

[pakito 17]

From youtube he looks great, otherwise fuck him

[nono 791]

Trending on twatter. Headed to Madrid apparently.

[Special Juan 27,439]

I would be more bothered if we didn't have Mata or Hazard in all honesty. This guy will be heavy in price for a position we have covered by two better players IMO.
