Isco

[cmdub]

Besides Isco, La Liga has so many cheap and talented midfielders any squad could use:

Koke, Benat, Borja Valero, Jonathan Dos Santos, (Muniain), Ander Herrera, Ever Banega, Sergio Canales or Jonathan Viera.


Wonder why, after Fabregas, Cazorla, Mata, Silva, Arteta and Aguero, Premier League teams are still reluctant on buying into mid-table Spanish clubs which have huge talent pool (as proves the performance of Valencia,Malaga, Atlético, Athletic and Sevilla in European Cups in the last seasons) but a bad financial situation.

Pretty much this, was going to make a thread on it but just look at Spanish midfielders that have moved here from la liga in the past few years or Spanish midfielders in general: michu is amazing and bagged the most goals out of every midfielder in la liga last year and his finishing ams positioning for the swans has been great. Silva and Mata are other great examples along with cesc and cazorla


So for ppl saying bust... stop the record for Spanish midfielders in this league is excellent and he'll be great if he moves here

Really hope we get him in jan, even if we have to loan him back till summer as has been suggested on here

He will become a great player, loan till summer will do him good too, hopefully we can get rid of nasri and bring this guy in.

The only thing I worry about is that Mancini will sign Isco and turn him into Nasri.
Unless it is Nasri who is limiting himself to the runs, goals and assists he used to get.

Isco looks very talented and of course we should be signing the best of the best around Europe but until there is a slot for him to play week in week out there is no point buying him.

Isco has so much potential its unreal. We MUST sign this kid. We will regret it if we don't.

Nasri is a coward, IMO, and that's what limits him.

Well I agree with you that Nasri is a coward, but was he at Arsenal? FFS Nasri get it together and show your Arsenal form, if not the get sold in Jan.

nasri had a 3 month spell at le arse and looked like world beater - he was playing through the middle though. otherwise he was stuck out wide and was doing exactly the same shit he's doing here.
the bloke is a charlatan.

don't know about being a charlatan. But you are correct, he is 200% the player if he plays centrally... even as a deeper laying playmaker, á la Xavi (but not at the same level though).
In fact, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Guardiola, hypothetically as a manager of our current squad, would play him in exactly that position.

Nasri and Isco could be our Xavi and Iniesta. :)
