That's my view as well.
He has great potential, but you can only play 11 players and for the moment our problems are not in midfield. There's a big difference between his performances for the U21s and Malaga which is logical. You'd expect that he'd improve, but the point is if we signed him now, we wouldn't see any immediate benefit as it would mean the loss of Nasri or Milner, and it wouldn't address our goal-scoring problems
There is only Yaya and Milner who have looked any sort of goal threat from midfield. Barry, Silva and Nasri were all disappointing in this respect.
Isco has a good eye for goal. The more danger we pose from multiple positions the harder it will be to defend against. His speed and creativity should bring the best out of our other players.
But still he'd be taking a place from Nasri or Milner, and for the moment it wouldn't advance us much further. Signing a striker could because we are deficient there
Isco is a very exciting young player. My only argument is that our midfield is already very strong and we wont have a problem creating chances next season. We need to finish the chances
If we can sign Isco and a striker then that's a fantastic position to be in. If it's one against the other then we'd gain far more from buying a striker.
