Saul > Isco.

I see has been overrated quickly after golazo vs Barca. He just recently become a reliable starting player

Isco is the one that is overrated in my opinion. Too much of a ball hog. Saul got his breathrough relatively recently, and I've watched him only a few times, but his potential is for all to see. He is more incisive and well rounded. Watch him have a better career.

We were talking about him in the summer too...

He's a fantastic young player. Showed it all through the CL run they made last year. Only 21 though, and clearly not yet at the level Isco has played at (albeit inconsistently). He could get there...

Plus Isco and Saul are different players so...

Yeah, really hard to compare. One is a CM/CDM/RM for a predominantly counterattacking team, that plays direct.

Saul
2-3 Tackles/g
2 interceptions/g
1 Dribble
1.5 shots
0.5 key passes
1.5 Dispossessed
2.5-3 Aerials won
0.3-0.4 blocks
1.5 clearances
76% pass accuracy

Without doing the same for Isco, that is clearly a very different player. He appears to be playing a midfield destroyer role.

Saul is very universal player, he started as a DM, at Rayo Vallecano played even CB sometimes, aftern return to Atletico played CM and most of the time like now on the right side of 442.

Just read on Tuttomercadoweb that we'd be willing to swap Bonucci for Hazard. lol, sure ok...

Why do journalists use this player swap crap all the time? How often do player swaps happen between top level clubs and top players?

Isco isnt a starter, let alone reliable

Seriously, the last time that happened was probably Eto'o & Ibra

Last one I remember was Pazzini/Cassano, although top player doesn't really qualify - top teams and expensive players, I suppose.

But fifa

 

[Nzoric]

If we were to sign Isco, how would we line up in our formation of gods?

Alves - Isco - Marchisio - Pjanic - Alex Sandro
-------------Dybala - Fat Bastard

Not sure about that MF tho.

Bonucci is another untouchable player. He's one of the most improved Juventus players I've seen. Consider how terrible he was when he joined. He keeps going from strength to strength every season and his long balls are a rare advantage for any team to have, to play the ball in behind from deep in our own half. Chiellini and Barzagli won't be around for long. All of Juve's youngsters and new comers need time under the tutelage of Bonucci, Buffon and Marchisio to instill that modest and disciplined mentality which defines the club.

Benatia - Bonucci - Rugani could be even better than BBC IF they get the chance to play together in the future. To think that winning Serie A could get stale for any Italian would be a surprise. Totti would probably take a hammer to his pill bag for another title. But times have changed and Serie A is only a close second to Ligue 1 as the most one sided affair in European football. As long as that's the case, the club will always be in danger of losing its key stars.

Sorry, I thought I was at the analytical coalface for a second.

Any side thats not both the best and richest side has a certain risk to lose a keyplayer.
That has nothing to do with how the league is.

Nobody willingly moves from Barcelona or Madrid in their prime.

For those who wants to get their muppet mode on:

Rumours saying Agnelli wants to break the bank on Verratti next summer (not to take too seriously). And

Verratti's agent: “Juventus are interested in Marco, it’s no secret. He could be the Higuain of the upcoming summer. Also, he could move to Bayern should Ancelotti still be in charge at the club. Making offers to PSG is difficult, however because they need no money and Verratti has no price. Persuading them will not be easy.”
