No it doesn't go both ways, you were saying Isco is mediocrity personified for years. Even after he got finals MVP vs us you gave him shit somehow.



SMS has been fantastic and will become a top player if he adapts well in a big club, but this forum and the market defenitely been overvaluing bit too much for my taste.


And I already said during last season he is defenitely better then I thought in his first season, but at the end of the day, it's breakout 18 months in Lazio, and that 60-80m that was too big of a price for a talent last summer (which weren't even gonna be accepted if anyone bid that), is now even more nuts with 120m+ figures. Defenitely more then what he gives you on a football pitch.

the problem zizinho is that Lotito didn't want to sell because he knew he could make much more this summer.
We and Milan were interested to buy Milinkovic but Lotito refused everything asking 80m
yes, he would have been stupid to do it when he could pocket maybe 100M this season. probably less that that, like 80-90M, and thats only because hes at Lazio. if we bought him, hed be another Pogba transfer wise, but with even more inflated fee

A bit? SMS is the most overrated player in the history of humanity.

He's still good though.

for years? i havent called him mediocre in 2+ years, you know why? because he has performed on a high level since then. before that? he was a starter under Benitez and as soon as Zidane was appointed, he benches Isco for Casemiro and Real goes on to narrow the massive lead Barcelona had to 2 points in the end, and win the CL in the process. or you gonna try to convince me how amazing he was that year or prior to that? he didnt even make Spain NT for 2016 Euros. when was he finals MVP vs us? CR was man of the match in 2017, Modric was 2nd best. last season (or this season, whatever), Zidane subbed him and Benz out at halftime for Vazquez and Asensio, which won them the game basically. i said Saponara is better, surprised you didnt bring that up as well. the problem with you is, you dont remember genuine opinions but will always bring up troll/banter posts when it fits your agenda. that or you mix up what Zach was saying. if you said "zizi preferred Pjanic over Isco in 2016", id say yes, ofcourse i did. but you want to play games instead

and i told you how the market changed and how his value will explode if he even maintains that level for another year, and that he will become even better. which is why 60M was far from crazy, it was smart investment actually. we are very lucky PSG is having FFP troubles due to Neymar and Mbappe, theyd be all over him and his price would be even higher. like this, we still have a chance

Yep 60 isnt much for a talented player anymore. Hes young and talented so if we get him under100mil its about right and if its much less its a great purchase. You are dead on with PSG. Also Chelsea are in no mans land right now and he doesnt really fit Peps system well. He is already in Italy and could be a guy that stays for a very long time

I was away all day, what happened since his thread is closed? Agent doesn't want him to join us, other club bought him, CSKA losing patience with Beppe?
