Efficient short passing meaning he doesn't give it away when he passes (typical Spanish style). Which is what you seem to agree with.
Yes of course, he over-dribbles sometimes. But he can also break through the midfield line with his dribbling too.
With his talent and age, I'm not sure we're in a position to turn him down if he comes as a "market opportunity".

Main difference I see between Pjanic and Isco is the freekicks where Pjanic elevated it to match winner level. But the rest the level of skill and playmaker abilities is pretty similar (edge to Isco on dribbling and speed), difference being one plays in Roma and gets to express himself as a regular starter as the teams main creator compared to being one of many in Real. Pjanic would suffer the same and be in the fringes when your competition are Modric, Kroos, James etc.
The thing i dislike about isco is similar. He has a burning acceleration and is quicker then Dybala. He has exceptional technique, and knows very well how to dribble. He has good short and longer passing, and has showed he can send players trough the defence.
The issue is what he does with it. He's the epitome at "one dribble too many" consistantly, and loses the ball alot like that. His assists stats as a result are gabage considering he's behind the greatest consistant goalscorer in history.
On the other hand. Isco was an AM, who plays everywhere at madrid except am. Madrid, known to murder talent.
If he would return to cam, and he is willing to learn and adapt, Juventus could turn him into a very effective player. He has all the talent and then some.
Look at it like this. He's some time at madrid now, where did that got him ? Not selected for Euro2016, while significantly inferior players, raw talentwise, were.
Meanwhile, Morata got selected and several big names didnt. And Morata developped quite a significant amount, adding very much to the game without scoring.
He'll ruin his career at madrid. He could take the juventus path. But would he be willing to learn and adapt ?
