illarramendi

I will just put that name out there. Been outstanding so far in the U21's as well as helping Sociedad get champions league football. Very similar style to Busquets, moves the ball quick with 1 or 2 touches. Very nice passer and reads the game well. I know we may not need a mid this year but if Barry and Garcia leave then this guy would well be worth going for or keeping an eye on him in the future.

He's getting noticed by others as well.

23 years old from Real Sociedad.

Was gonna sing this guys praises in a thread the other day but couldn't be arsed tryin to spell his name. What a crackin player

Glad to see this post. He looks a class player and one who would be ideal in our league. Hit the ball a bit long at times but Gerrard has made a decent career doing just that.

An interesting prospect and he has had a very good season at Real Sociedad. It is worth keeping tabs on him.

That will be a cue to get the inflatable bananas out again,like the good old days with Imre Varadi

Very impressed with him. TBH I'd never heard of him until Spain's 1st match so my opinion of him wasn't coloured in any way. A brilliant prospect from what I've seen.

OptaJose: +200 - Asier Illarramendi is the 2nd player with +200 passes attempted in Championship of Israel (208) along with Marco Verrati (260). Brain

I was thinking of starting a thread about him after seeing him last night. Was impressed by him and it's definitely a player worth a closer look.

I'd rather Ruében Pardo.
