Thanks

Alli has already scored more goals in the league this season than Isco ever has over a complete season, what comparisons do you see in their play? I'm not saying Isco isn't a very good player, I'd love him here - but I can't see where you've drawn the comparison from.

Nothing to apologise for, really. It just seemed like you were making a baseless comparison, intentionally inflammatory against one of our key players. I assume you were trying to be edgy, but it was nonsense.

IMO
Actually you are a bit wrong. I rate Alli extremely highly.

However if Isco came, I think he takes Alli's spot over Erikson's in our current formation (3 at the back)

All good.

It's just nice to dream a little bit though isn't it.

I don't think we would sign Isco unless Poch intended to start the majority of games with three AMs or doesn't think one of Alli / Eriksen is good enough (I don't think that is currently the case).

Sorry I'd have Alli over Isco in he's current role behind Kane.

Isco will be competing between Eriksen Lamela Dembele Wanyama

yup, he'd likely take games away from Dembele though you could play him at forward and give Eriksen and Alli a rest from time to time. Doesnt look like its going to happen tho.

It won't happen. Poch could only use him as part of a rotation so he would be in the same position he is in at Madrid with not enough game time. If you are going to sit on a bench I'm sure you'd rather do it in Spain than Seven Sisters.

I agree it won't happen, but not for this reason.

If he signed, he'd be the one of the first names on the team sheet.

Rubbish. How do you know how he will cope in this league? I'd wager he's no better than Eriksen
Well, it's just my opinion; you have yours and I have mine, it's cool :)

Though I think calling mine "rubbish" and neg rating me (as tiger666 is also wont to do) is a bit unnecessary. Such is life.

A disagree is not a neg rating. It's neutral.

Isco is a pretty special player, if he came Eriksen, Alli, Son etc would have a massive task getting ahead of him.


Isco is a special player? Based on what his form 4 years ago because it can't be based on his time at Madrid. The notion that he is a better talent than Ali and would warrant a starting place above is simply just absurd. Isco is a good player, but one that hasnt moved beyond that and at this stage of his career most likely never will.

But he's amazing on FIFA...
