I think China will no doubt make a bid. Let's be honest you can see it happening... Doubt he will go given the ****s a mummas boy but still for 400k a week..,


For that money, he can take his mother with him.

He wont. They really don't need him. I think he might well go to a La liga squad though.
He easily gets in Uniteds team, and City could sign him just to have an extra quality player (personally I think he gets in that team too). Both Managers know all about him from their times in Spain, I could even see Chelsea being interested.

How does Isco get into City's team? De Bruyne and Silva are better.

Ahead of Mikhatarian and Mata? Not convinced... I guess they could play him deeper, but lets be honest Mourinho ain't gonna do that.

Sure for an extra quality player I understand why they would want him, but in that case he might as well stay put. He clearly likes club and city why move to have the same kind of problems.

I think you overrate Isco a bit. I mean a lot of people do. But many Madrid fans see him as light weight and inconsistant I'm not convinced he is the real deal that people hoped he would be. MInd he would dramatically improve us, not that there is anything in this story.

Repeating my Transfer Pledge from the summer, made at a foolish level because I am 100% confident that this won't happen:

- If we sign Isco on either a permanent or a loan-to-permanent deal in the January transfer window, then I will make a Paypal donation to fund SC's running costs for a month. Stone cold promise.

We're interested, Isco is not...
Possibly so but I think the reference was to our interest.
Personally I think had we been one of the other top six he may have been more interested in the summer but I'm not sure they are any more bothered now than they were then.
As it stands he hasn't got his game time at Real Madrid yet in which case we may be the least bad option.
That said, you may be sure I'm not putting my mortgage on it though.

Which if you live in London would be your whole mortgage loan for his weekly salary;)

I think your overating Mata, who Mourinho doesnt rate and is playing him because he has to.

My opinion vs yours at the end of the day. He's AS good as both of those 2 and he's BETTER than Sterling.
He's better than Sterling but he wouldn't get into the team over him as they already have the creative players in De Bruyne and Silva - but Sterling adds the pace in the team.

And in my eyes, if you're saying he's as good as Silva and De Bruyne, you're also saying he's the best CAM in the world.

How am I saying he's the best CAM in the world? lol. I said AS good not better. Its besides the point as it wouldnt stop the likes of City signing him, it would just be another top class player to choose from. They could ultimately play Silva And Isco and still have pace in De Bruyne.

Because De Bruyne and Silva are the best CAMs in the world IMO and you're saying Isco is as good as them. De Bruyne also isn't that quick.

Darren Lewis gets a fair amount of stuff on us right Imo.
He may do but the papers chase sales, followers, clicks and replies as well.

It's a typical 2+2 = 5 story

The language: Ponder, was interested in the summer.

It's basically a 'could do, if..' with his situation and then a throwaway line about Spurs' form. If Spurs were interested before, chances are they still are.

I don't think we will get him, Chinese transfers lately have inflated the market big time! Madrid will want a similar amount for Isco as what Chelsea got for Oscar. And we won't bid anywhere near that if he becomes available.

and threats of Chinese transfers. I don't believe they bid for Ronaldo, not for a second. It comes from Mendes, his agent, and a man paid to promote his client. Rumour helps show Cronaldo is loyal to Real and will help get him another payrise.

Same for other players. So many reports are 'an unnamed Chinese club..' - uh huh.
