I agree that the iniesta rumor is probably agent driven. Really smart too. After Alves, there's no way barca would let another one of their legends go like that, so it's a great tactic to get a pay raise.

Give it a few weeks, I bet we'll hear mascheranos name again too.

can you imagine how we would look if we signed isco last summer instead of Pjanic, like his fanboys suggested we should. wed probably not even win the Coppa, and go out of CL even before barcelona lol.

the only ballhog i could tolerate at Juve was Labile, because he was awesome and fun character, making your team money by dabbing and doing fancy stepovers. but most importantly, he was that good that he could win you games if you make him the centre piece of your team and build around him. isco thrives in a well organized Madrid team (props to Zizou) where he benefits greatly from the WC teammates he has. and then he plays a good month for the 1st time since joining Madrid and his fanboys will make you believe hes prime Zidane and Iniesta all in one ::lol3::

One of only 5 Spanish players id take at Juve, other than Morata, Thiago, Fabregas and de Gea. Would be a massive statement signing above all, but also could still give us 2-3 world class years i believe. Him and Miralem in the middle damn, wed be able to keep the ball for decades
You would take current Fabregas above Isco?

I don't know man. Prime fabregas was definitely a better player but currently Isco is a top talent.

I would definitely welcome him here.
But we have no where to play him. Dybala is much better and hes no DM/CM. Also im not a fan of changing our formation for a player like him

Btw, just realized i forgot all about Saul and Koke above when naming Spanish players id take. Asensio too

I'm super happy about Pjanic but had we signed Isco I would've been a lot more exited. Isco is a fantastic player, I wanted the Isco-Pelligrini combo at Juve after Conte left.

El Douglas!

Who do you prefer, Di Maria or Douglas Costa?
Di Maria, but i'm a huge fan so i'm not objective and probably forgetting his offdays

Zizinho, Zach and all the bandwagoners who laughed along with them whenever I pointed out his super obvious quality.

I havent changed my mind, while also agreeing with the post you made for Bisco.


For me, football is organisation. Juve style. If you have a creative outlet, it needs to deliver and be effective.
I absolutely love Pjanic in the mid 2 as he dictates the play while pulling unpredictable amounts of defensive work and honestly beeing worldclass at his role.
I love Verratti who's the most gifted cm in the world in my book, but doesnt use most of it unless he sees a chance to open up. He'll be just in front of his cb's as he goes on a mazing run and opens up acres of space and gives that splitting pass.
I love Dybala who's movement and distribution is amazing, but becomes very lethal when close to goal. He tends to fail in his sprints after 25meters. But he's trying something that would ultimately be very dangerous.


Isco is a player with all the talent, but misses direction. He's all flair and fancy, but low workrate compared to what we got here. He's absolutely not effective, and the epitome of "hey guyse, lets dribbel 7 players and end up closer to my goal for some reason

At juve ? Fucking hell no. Not in a billion years.


At madrid ? ridiculous offensive talent in just about every player. Ridiculously effective and clinical at scoring goals. But predictable in their approach. Put on Isco the fucking joker. Nobody knows where his runs and dribbels are going to end up. Not his opponents. Not his teammates. Not even himself.
However, this will indeed upset the opposition. it allows all that insane talent around him to abuse defenders beeing drawn to him clowining the fuck around.
At Madrid, that works. Hence, it works better then another MUCH superior but predictable player like Bale.



So here is the deal. At juve he'd pretty much have the team supporting him. he's supposed to make the difference. he wont, he's not efficient.


At real madrid, the entire team can make the difference. You just need joker the fucking clown to mess around with their defence so every other player can make the difference

Iniesta at Juventus is handicap. I actually had a dream about this. Can't believe its an actual reality. In my dream, Iniesta assisted 3 goals with Dybala scoring 3 goals to win our second CL in a row.

Would Iniesta want to play out on the wing? Because we do have Dybala behind Higuain.

Anyway, get me somebody who works as hard defensively as Mandzu does. Sanchez or Di Maria are the only guys that come close.
