That good? Who is he similar to?

Steven Fletcher was 15m. Jordan Henderson was 20m.
Isco is an excellent player and would improve our 1st team.

How often do you watch him ?
I only saw one game against Athletico and he was not better than Weiss.
LoveCity said:They were rich until the owner decided he didn't want to invest anymore which threatened to undo them this summer (Cazorla sale to Arsenal, Isco could have also been sold and Spurs made an attempt). They have stabilised again and the way things are going they could qualify from the CL group stages which means a real cash cow. However they will not be getting major backing from their owner anymore and as Isco has a buyout clause nothing can stop him leaving if a club swoops in. £17million is a justified risk, he and Thiago could well become the new Xavi and Iniesta pairing for Spain with Isco as the Iniesta.

There's just no chance to make that club enough big to justify big investments in it. Too small club, not attractive, without any "clicking" background and it gets much worse with Spanish football finance system.
I guess they were much cheaper option but any of Atletico/Sevilla/Valencia would be much, much better option in Spain. Atletico specially, it would be pretty much as easy to market as City are. But it would require City-like investment too.
Luckily for them, they got Pellegrini as manager and not Hughes so they needed just one wave of investment in playing squad.
greasedupdeafguy said:Can't see how we would fit him in, we already have Nasri and Silva and it looks as if Mancini is moving away from last seasons formation by only playing one of them with Yaya further forward. Plus we have Saurez coming through who deserves a chance.

The owner Al-Thani bought Malaga and was going to totally redevelop the port of Marbella, he wanted to invest in the whole Malaga region. The Andalucian authorities blocked him with red tape and he saw his arse.
A malaga supporting mate said he invested in the club as a stepping stone to improving the region. Which by the way is on it's knees and bureaucrats turned him down.
I think those in power were scared of the foreign investment especially with them being muslim and past history of the region. Well that's my view.
