Isco

[Unionjack 7,531]

Since we have been 'linked' with him again Ive read and watched as many vids of him as I can and to me this deal makes so much sense for us. The more I see it makes me realize hes the perfect Mou player. And IF we dont get rid of Oscar he will just give us more options depthwise.

This report says it all for me

Yesterday, the Spanish sports magazine "Don Balon" said that Jose Mourinho could have contacted (directly or indirectly) with Isco to tell him that he wants to convince Isco to join Chelsea this season.

And they also said that Isco has a very big deal from Manchester City.

But in principle, Isco not want to go to any other team. Isco want to see this preseason which will be his role in Real Madrid this season and he would consider an exit if he sees that Modric, James and Kross are ahead of him.

I think his signing is unlikely because Jose would never steal Florentino Perez a player. They are great friends.

But if Isco wants out, and Real Madrid are willing to do so, the story would be very different.

Regards.

Its sad but I too agree we dont stand much chance of getting him.

And to make things worse ( thinking progressively for us as a team) it doesn't LOOK much like Oscars leaving any time soon.

Up the bid chels

Why does it have to be the Express.

Edit:

Seen that they're sourcing Fichaje. Anyone know whether they're somewhat reliable?

Terrible source judging by people I'm seeing on Twitter.

Only possible way I can see it happening is if Real Madrid have their sights set of a shiny new toy that'll keep Isco out of the team even more. Vidal for example. They only seem to sell star players when a replacement is lined up.

Oh, Please Let this be true! Oh, Please!

They refer to "Fichajes.net". The 90% of his "Rumors" are bullshit.

It seems Vidal and Reus so far!

Would do anything to see this come to fruition.

So Matic-Fabregas-Isco is defensively more sound and dynamic than Matic-Fabregas-Oscar? Or would our midfield still get raped in every major game like in the Spurs game? Isco sure is more comfortable and reliable in keeping possession than Oscar but is that enough. Pointless signing if we still keep putting Zouma, Mikel or Ramires into midfield in the decisive matches.

Agree. He would make the midfield even more lightweight.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Isco's defensive work rate has improved massively, he was very good defensively this year. There wouldn't be that much of a drop off defensively from a Isco - Fabregas - Matic midfield compared to one with Oscar.

The club doesn't need a #10 though. It needs a box to box. Oscar is going nowhere.

We need a starting RW.

[iseah100 5,612]

We need a starting RW.

Cuardado, Traore, Remy possibly. All good there. Only reason the club should get a winger is if Reus is available.

If we don't want to win the Champions League than sure.
