Isco

[Mainoldo]

Isco's a shit name, you don't win things with shit names.

Maybe we will request him to use his last name like Arsenal did with Fabregas 'Cesc'

 

[Devil may care]

We just dont seem to use the "Wing playmaker" type of players, unless he was bought to be used as a attacking midfielder but usually the wing playmakers suit more 4-3-3 systems, which we rarely seem to use recently.

In the last 3 transfer windows we have tried to sign Ozil, Sanchez, Hazard and Lucas, I think Fergie sees the changing of the tide and is looking to bring in this type of player.

 

[Plechazunga]

If he was enslaved by Juanfran, of Atletico Madrid, but was given the night off, during which I went out on the lash with him and Joe Hart... and at the point when I called it a night Hart had begun bumming him... then I could legitimately spend the bus ride home singing "I left Joe Hart in Juanfran's Isco".

Not a particularly likely series of events, perhaps... but well worth flagging up.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Playing for Malaga in the champs lge, on Sky Sports now.

 

[Antisocial]

An assist for the second goal I believe - first time I've seen him play.

Lol! My God, how did this not even get one appreciative comment?!?

 

[Excal]

Cuz we expect more out of Plech.

 

[Devil may care]

He played well tonight, overdid it on a couple of occasions and needs to improve his finishing, but the talent is clear to see, all of Malaga's best play came through him.

Looked very good.

For the money being quoted could be a bargain for someone willing to take a risk.

 

[Devil may care]

According to Ballague during last night's Real/Getafe game, Spurs have made an offer for Isco that was turned down.

 

[Redfighter]

I think we'd look at him should Nani leave/get booted out

 

[Ekeke]

Would be strange to boot Nani out then replace him with someone who isnt as good.

Indeed. Although if Fergie gets rid of someone I trust in his decision. You have to wonder with the Moura stuff though.

Probably why we saw much of Valencia at RB

If Valencia at right back was a serious long term consideration for more than 1 minute then we have problems.

Not really. Make it work and we have a better support than Dani Alves or Marcelo coming from right back.

 

[Ramshock]

Valencia is more than capable of becoming a full back, whether he would want to is an entirely different matter.

I agree that he's capable, but I just think it's a waste in all honesty.

Brilliant.

 

[Nanderson]

Hugely talented. He's going to show himself to be a fantastic player if he gets a move to a bigger club. Very technically gifted and lots of imagination.

 

[Escobar]

A good talent for sure but hopefully not the replacement for Nani

Tonights Malaga game is the first time I've really watched him, and he's been really impressive.

 

[Baxter]

2 goals tonight. Brilliant talent.

 

[Jimy_Hills_Chin]

2 goals tonight. Brilliant talent.

Are we going try to sign him for 30m next summer, after missing our opportunity this time round? Perhaps he is too Spanish for us anyway.

 

[Ramshock]

Nope once these up and coming players get to the european stage and perform they are usually already to pricey for us. Same reason we couldnt compete for rumoured target Martinez, and most likey Munian soon.

Ahhh, I remember the 'United in for 15m Martinez' reports a few years back!

 

[Ekeke]

Quality goals. Havent watched Malaga this season but it seems like Isco has already taken on the main man mantle from Cazorla. National team call up cant be far off

 

[BD]

Got two quality goals for Malaga tonight. Really like the look of him. He's gonna be great.

 

[Sally Cinnamon]

Cracking goals. Second was a bullet. Saw him in the CL playoff too and he looked class.

 

[Scrumpet]

Damn, just saw the goals. Who do we reckon is gonna splash the cash on him then?

 

[VoetbalWizard]

it's too late now. city, chelsea, barca, madrid. take yer pick

See you'd think that but then you remember that he's Spanish and has to displace players like Iniesta, David Silva, Fabregas, David Villa amongst others.. He's just a bit unfortunate basically.

Worse players have been given a game

 

[bosnian_red]

Yeah, but it'll be quite difficult for him to hold down a spot in the squad with all the class midfielders Spain already has.

 

[RDCR07]

He is really talented but there is no way we will be in for him because we have Rooney and Kagawa who play in his position.

Where'd he play for us exactly?
Do we just buy players for the sake of it now?

 

[GledTheRed]

Does he not play from the left as well as AM?

Also I thought he had a relatively low buyout clause?

 

[londonredmaniac]

Where would we have played Lucas?

 

[Scrumpet]

Isco's a shit name, you don't win things with shit names.

Shocked at this, Isco is a great name for a footballer. Like Zico, but not quite as good.

 

[KM]

Where would we have played Lucas?

He's a proper winger. Also I suspected we would sell Nani, if we signed Lucas. Isco is more a Kagawa type player if I'm not wrong.
