Any chance of Mascherano this time around? Or will we try again for Matuidi?
No to both.

Need some young stud who can become WC in the future or someone in the prime of his career.

Both these players are behind their prime years. Of course they are still quality but we can't keep looking at signings of this profile.

Well we wanted them only one year ago...

Not that I would want Matuidi.

I think we need a Alex Sandro/Higuaín-esque signing in midfield as opposed to a Dani Alves-esque signing in midfield specially in case of both Iniesta and Mascherano.

Never wanted Matuidi in the first place. He won't be a big improvement on our midfield anyway.

Tolisso might be an Alex Sandro signing for CM

I'd take Iniesta.

Perhaps.

How likely is Tolisso?
I thought it was dealio long ago but I think Lyon president must be holding out for the biggest bid since its still early days in the window.

I'd take Iniesta.
We would have to change our entire system to accommodate him (go back to 3 Man midfield). Not down with that tbh considering his age and what his motivations would be.
