I'm not saying he's bad, quite the contrary but he seems to be a bit like a nice piece of clothing that you think will complete your wardrobe but in all honesty, it's not like there's a future lack of good looking clothes coming up.
I think the morality of my metaphord is that there's quality and then there's hype. And nice looking clothes.
I've watched footballers boosted by hype, Neymar, amazingly number 9 highest ever transfer, now of Barca, is a good example of one of those.
Watching Isco however reminds me of watching a young Spaniard rip us a new one in the Thomas cook trophy some years ago... Raw but you could see he would be the business. That kid was Silva... and I think Isco could be MUCH better.
Hype put aside if we miss out on him, we WILL regret it. Isco is the real deal.
Ok, then I guess there's more flesh to it, so to speak. What would you say is his thing then? What's so special about him? I obviously haven't noticed anything but I'm not the most avid watcher of Spanish football either.
What is special about him is he is another Iniesta/Mata/Silva at barely 21 years old.
I'm not even saying he could be like them, he is like them, now. In 5 years he will be the maestro of Spain and one of the top 5 mids in the world.
Today we could get him for £25 million or less, in 5 years, he will be double/triple that. However by that point, should we not move now, he will be at Barca or Madrid and out of our reach. They will never let a player like Isco go when they have him.
Mark my words, if we sign him he will be our player of the season, perhaps even prem player of the season next year. Bold claims on my part but he is that good.
This is the one deal city need to make happen.
