Illarramendi is way more mobile and a better dribbler than Alonso. I like the look of him a lot.

I thought he looked like a more offensively adventurous Busquets, not as good defensively but that's what I kept thinking of.

I really like his range in the defensive third. He seems to have defensive range and the ability to go forward. He could be a hard working DM or a mobile B2B player.

I agree. He´s a very mature player, style wise. The only knock I see, is his height (that shitty haircut and his phenomenal positioning make him look much taller than the 5´8½ that he is).

On a possession based passing side he would be superb deep in midfield. Partner him with someone physical or just as mobile and you have a double pivot that can compete with anyone.

Fellaini perhaps?

that'd be intriguing. or Rambo. I doubt we buy two deeper midfielders. i'd prefer this kid over Fellaini from what I'm hearing.

Illarramendi is a direct replacement for Arteta. Except more mobile and with an unbelievably high upside. I'd rather Illarramendi than Felliani.

Yea I love his style of play. Saw he would only cost around 10 mil. Arsenal are leading the chase for Spain Under-21 international Asier Illarramendi If we were to get him instead of Felliani it would allows us to spend money on other positions.

Oka Nikolov has canceled his contract with Frankfurt in order to move to the MLS. He's pretty old so I wonder where he's going.

Just signed with Philadelphia. Macmath is the only goalkeeper of note on their roster.

Real Madrid picked up an option on Borussia´s Gündogan.

They expect to pay at least a €25M transfer fee in 2014 for him.
