Has Muniain done anything since playing us? Never heard him mentioned since. I wasnt overly impressed by him anyway.

Cried in the Europa League final when his team conceded a goal. Not lost the match. Conceded a goal.
 
So if Nani leaves, then Kagawa and Valencia on the right, Rooney and Isco as CAM and Young and Welbeck on the left? Not bad at all. Would love for us to sign Isco.

I'd like to have another option on the left and not use Kagawa on the wing to be fair. We'll be left with Young and Valencia as our only wingers, so it's either a change of style or another signing or two for wings - and it won't be Isco as he's not a winger.
 
We have been linked with him at least in the last few days, although nothing reliable, of course the term reliable when related to transfers these days is practically defunct.
 
The sheikh was in attendance at Malaga's match yesterday but was getting grief from the crowd for not paying the players. Unless he starts paying up, then Isco will be available soon enough.
But there'll be far more teams than United in for him.
If there ends up being a firesale at Malaga then I'd be in for Jérémy Toulalan in a hearbeat.
 
I imagine if we are in for him then City will be, I can't see Chelsea being interested as they have 3 players in his mould already.
 
In this thread we always talk about the good things about Isco and rightly so. But if we're seriously interested in signing him as a replacement for Nani, its worth defining the parts he's not so great at as well to give a realistic impression of him. Perhaps the main drawback would be that for someone who can and who would play wide left if we signed him, he has not got great speed. He likes to slow play down and then beat his man with skill. And while he's clearly an excellent young player I'm not sure he's a significantly better option on the left than using Kagawa there.
 
I think there's more chance of him going to City.
 
Stylistically speaking he's somewhere between Zidane and Iniesta which can't be bad.
 
We are not going to get Isco people. Stop the false belief.

Its too obvious for us.
 
Great play by isco, he has inpressed in every CL game I've seen.

Surely a target in the future
 
Who's going to sign this fella? I've seen nothing of Malaga in the league this season but he's clearly absolute quality.

It actually makes very little sense. He's not your traditional winger and we already have a player in the same mould in Kagawa, two would be pushing it as it'd require a significant change of style to accommodate them.
 
Erm have we noticed that we're moving away from formations using traditional wingers?
 
Either I'm mistaken or that was right before an assist. Amazing.

EDIT: I'm mistaken.
 
He is a great player, his close control is amazing.

We could really do with a player like him in our midfield.
 
Let's see him doing that against Stoke away on a tuesday when the pitch is poor, the ball is flat and Crouch and Adam is looking at him
 
He's not a winger and he cant play as part of a midfield two - so no chance we go for him.
 

Great clip from this season only. Looks a Zidane-level talent tbh.
