Can he press a la Hazard?

If so Oscar Isco Hazard would be a pretty damn nice AM trio!

Hi friend!

I think Isco and Hazard are perfectly compatible. In fact I think they would be the happiest people in the world if both are in the field on the same team. It would be a lovely partner.

With Fabregas as a midfielder along with Matic, with Isco as N. 10 and Hazard as false Left - Winger.

I think Real Madrid will make two big mistakes with Varane and Isco because of never think in sporting reasons when they make their teams.

It would be madness. Although I have to admit that maybe Thiago Alcantara is a huge chance if he decides to leave Bayern. As I said before, I think Thiago Alcantara has small problems because of their anarchic personality in the field. But these small problems would be corrected by Jose and Jose could make of him something incredible.

And Koke is my weakness. A perfect Clockwork.

I repeat: If depended on me I would love sign one or two or three of them. I love this type of player.

All three are very young and with a bright future. They and Pogba will be the key pieces of football in the coming years.

Yet, oscar didn't.... Short term memory...

Jose has a tendency to burn players out. Next season is huge, knowing jose and his failures in the 3rd seasons he had at his previous spells... You make it seem that OScar is the only one misplacing shortpasses, etc..

Even when oscar got benched, the team did the same, yet, its always the same few that need to blame OScar whenever they want. Maybe, we should look at how many times mata, coutinho, sterling, etc loses balls...

Oscar hasnt had one consistent season since he joined us. Jog on mate, your embarrassing yourself.

35 million pounds starting to become a reasonable and interesting amount ...

It's a shame, but if Real Madrid does not have a good end of the season they will pay any amount of money for Pogba.

But no problem, Pogba has only 22, I guess when Pogba has 24 years Real Madrid will be tired of him and Real will want to buy another toy. Real Madrid is Real Madrid. Maybe then we could buy Pogba in two or three years ...

Hopefully Real Madrid can not sign Pogba if we pay attention to the words of Mino Raiola.

Even in Spain reports say that if Ancelotti continues at Real Madrid perhaps Veratti and Pogba could arrive both if the season ends badly for Real. Something crazy.

Isco is a possibility more in the market, but a great opportunity. With confiaza he could become a leader on our team. As David Silva, Isco has natural magic. I would like to Jose should think of his signing.

Without exaggeration, Isco could be our franchise player (22 years). We should anticipate to Arsenal and City.

And Hazard is also more consistent than some of our 28 year olds. He's the exception, not the rule.

[Fernando 6,491]

Definitely supporter.

Buying from La liga is where it is.

So I hope mourinho continues to raid la liga for players.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Hi friend!

I'm talking about 22 million pounds of amount by signing Koke because lately was mentioned in Spain that if Koke asks for a move to Atletico Madrid this summer they no they were going to require payment of his clause (44 million pounds).

Hmm are you sure about this ? It is something well known or pure speculation ? Because it literally changes the whole scenario now.

********************

RE Isco : would love him. He's magician and has impressive workrate in him. We certainly need 2 quality midfielders. The Koke + Isco bundle sounds ridiculous. Though even Isco + Schneiderlin combo would do for me. We surely have the money to pull something like this in the summer.

Hope that Real want Pogba, then Isco seems natural player that they're going to sacrifice. We were interested in him previously, scouts probably have big dossier about him, so there's every bit of chance that we come back after him like we always do if there's an opportunity.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

There's really one question, and its not about Isco who would give us just what we need - an option to create possession, another player next to Cesc who could dictate our game.

So the question is what we could expect from Mourinho when his midfield will be Cesc-Matic-Isco. Will he build our entire game around this trio? we all remember he did it with Cesc-Matic-Oscar in the start of the season, but he throw this trio -and the game we played around them- away by now. Will he feel comfortable enough in the big games with this midfield?

In that aspect, actually Gundogan sounds to me like the most secure option. He can sit back, he can let Cesc go forword, while given us option for possession with his technics and smartness, point is that he's a pure CM unlike Isco or Pogba. But its really about our manager and what he prefers.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

@nadavTKL, Yeah that's a very interesting question, that i think we know the question to. If we remember last year, our pivot players in big games were Luiz-Matic. The more i think about it, the more i believe we'll go all-out for Pogba, and that Isco isn't really on our radar.

Also, had a dream we signed Bastian Schweinsteiger & Reus lol.

[Chelsea? 892]

Since cesc likes to attack so often, idk if isco would be a fit

[iseah100 5,612]

Since cesc likes to attack so often, idk if isco would be a fit

Yea, that wouldn't help Matic at all. I think Schneiderlin would be better.

Pogba? surprise me to see that people still dont know who he is. Pogba is not a classic CM to play in a pivot. He likes to go fowrard just like Isco. Matic-Luiz and Matic-Pogba is very different. You'll get nothing out of Pogba if you ask him to sit back. If he'll come, Cesc will be the one who sits back more. Pogba will be our Oscar, thats where is future is at.

There are three "brackets" for midfielders this summer:

1. Pogba, Isco - players who'll play in front of Cesc (like Oscar), because their big advantages (along with great skills on the ball) are their dribble, the penetration, the ability to score (for Pogba) and assist (for Isco).

2. Thiago, Gundogan - players who'll most of the time play next to Cesc, but will give Cesc the option to get forword. They are more "defensive" than Isco or Pogba, they'll most of the time sit back and dictate the game with Cesc (i would call them "possession monsters")

3. Schneiderlin - players of his kind will help Matic in stoping the opponents. In aspects of playing the ball and keeping possesion they will offer a better option than Ramires/Zouma, but not like the players i mentioned in 1 and 2.

There is also Koke, who is between 1 and 2. I wouldnt put him in the same bracket as Isco and Pogba because his contribution in attack, his penetration is'nt close to be that good. And i wouldnt put him in the same bracket as Thiago and Gundogan, because he's not a player who dictates the game from the back. He's a player who does the little-big things around the pitch, if its passing, if its keeping the ball, if its defending.

Hi friend!

Not totally sure, but for a couple of weeks ago several newspapers in Spain say that the first offer of us could be 20 million pounds and that would be the initial amount to start negotiating.

Although it might be more money, but I think with the feet on the ground perhaps 44 million is a lot and 20 million too little. I would bet 30 million pounds as a reasonable figure to start negotiating seriously

I think it would be interesting to try again a loan with Atletico de Madrid as we did with Courtois. Maybe Atletico were delighted to have Nathan Ake, Salah or Kallas on loan. And maybe Mikel or Romeu as transfers. That could lower the final price of Koke.

I agree that having the Isco + Koke pack would be fantastic. With Financial Fair Play rules we have to thinking about the future and sign young but established players. Isco and Koke have 22 years, that's what we need.

Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea on RED ALERT as Isco hints at Real Madrid exit. ISCO has made it clear he is extremely unhappy with the way things are going for him at Real Madrid.

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/438309/Isco-Man-Utd-Arsenal-Chelsea-transfer-news

Yesterday Isco spoke after the game Real Madrid – Atletico de Madrid and he affirmed to be "“I am more than hurt, so I'm not very happy” " because of the way that Ancelotti has treated him. Yesterday and today in Spain it is said that he would have decided to leave Real Madrid this summer. I think Isco would be an option rather interesting and Real Madrid would ask for him between 28 and 32 million pounds as final price. (Isco would be a perfect option).

To me Isco would be the best partner for Hazard.

Regards.

[Fernando 6,491]

If thats true hope mourinho goes for him.

[supporter 3,088]

Hi friend!

Yes, I think Jose should bet heavily on him. In these two seasons with Ancelotti at Real Madrid Isco has significantly improved his defensive performance, which together with his genuine quality of offensive aspects make him an absolutely enormous player.

Before Isco was a great player whose big deficit was the defensive. Maybe too anarchic because it is the type of player who seems destined to be an artist with the ball than a player collectively committed to a team. But now it has completely changed and Isco is a very reliable player that perfectly adapt it to the technical requirements of Jose and could form a formidable pair with Eden.

I put the video of yesterday where Isco says these words which appear in the link.

Isco's words are since 1:30 in the video.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translation from Spanish to English.

Journalist. Well, Isco, what from now on what (you expect?). With injuries (from your teammates) you've been entered (on the team), it is true that you had lost the place (on the team), emotionally, personally, regardless of joy for this classification (to the next round of Champions League) , How do you feel with your role at Real Madrid ?.

Isco. Well, it is true that cost me a good a little, but that's normal after so many months playing it everything and suddenly I stopped playing, and ...

Journalist. Hurt? Hurt is the word ?.

Isco. No ... do not hurt ... well ... not very happy, I believed I was doing a good job ... Anyway, the team is very strong, Real Madrid is very complicated, there is much competition and I believe that competition makes become better all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(IMO) I think Isco has a very serious face when talking about his situation at Real Madrid that makes me think he may be angry about his situation at Real Madrid.

Isco can have a level of Galactico in the near future, but in Real Madrid (especially with Florentino Perez) Spanish players have very difficult to find their place in offensive positions.

With Real Madrid he plays as a midfielder, but with Spain he plays like N.10. and I think that's his best position. To me Isco is pure N.10. classic. A dreamlike player.
