The art of good scouting is to identify the Isco's before they become flavour of the month. Not that he was any great secret because those of this Forum were promoting his assets long before he became popular. Of course now every major team is looking at him which then diminishes our chances.
It's frustrating because there seems to have been a vacuum since Mike Rigg left to go to QPR earlier this year, and the consequence in my opinion was a disappointing summer transfer season.
While we continue to be a very good team, we are not a great team. I for one would have jumped at the prospect of Isco and perhaps one other quality midfielder, rather than what we ended up with. I hope that the new CEO will turn our transfer policy around.
