Isco alternatives*

Postby Bianchi on Ice » Sun Jun 23, 2013 9:51 am

*hopefully this will be a redundant thread sharpish..
but...if things dont work out..we move on...are we still in for a tricky player to augment Silva & Nasri?

my guess?...yes...if we left it alone can we guarantee consistency from those two?..not Nasri imo..so...
who?...maybe christian eriksen...unless hes already off somewhere

any other realistic names?

We can't really hope that save can have a consistent season too, the lad has not had a decent break in 2 years and with a World Cup year next year it will be 3 years and counting

No offence as all welcome here but English isn't your first language is it?
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.

A good suggestion - young and very impressive, scores a lot from midfield but would he make the step from the dutch league to the premiership? I think he might but he looks happy at Ajax and I doubt that he'd want to move.

I'd love Isco but as per the thread lets assume we need to find someone else, then my preference would be to go for a proper wideman to balance out the left hand side (with Navas on the right).

Obv bale first choice, but with his silly price tag then maybe:
Perotti from Sevilla
Lamela (?) from Roma
Elia the bloke who destroyed us when at hamburg
Di Maria - cunt but good
I'm struggling for quality LHS wingers who aren't already at big clubs

No it obviously doesn't matter in terms of sussing out what the bloke means to say - and I didn't say that I couldn't understand him did I?

However, I'm interested to understand if his perspective is none English so that I can better appreciate his perspective. . . and I think that he's quite capable of answering for himself.

Oh, and Honda for me too.

I appreciate your advice guys and I do feel that if David silva could just get 15/20 goals a season he could be as big as messi him self, Silva must be the only player I know who plays that free role midfield and scores less than 7 a season, lampard, Gerard ect they all get at least 15/20 goals a year

Honda is going to AC ,Christian Eriksen .
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
