Mark Ogden running the story in the telegraph today that Isco will be our top summer target as we are unlikely to spend in January.
I don't understand this thinking if it's true, which I have my doubts of. It's simple - if we have a target and he's available now, allocate some of the summer budget to January and spend it then instead of summer. This is what Barcelona did to get Sanchez before us (and Fabregas in the same window), they used almost two summer's worth of money right then and spent little the year later (just Jordi Alba for a cut price).
If it's left till summer he might have signed a new contract with increased buy-out by then.
