Isco´s people are supposedly talking to Chelsea, Juventus, Man City and Atlético de Madrid. Fehnerbache is interested as well, but it seems he´s not interested. AtM supposedly talking €35M.


If Isco ends up at Atletico I'm going to break something....come on Chelsea and ManC come in with the 40M offer.

Is he similar to Fabregas? What's his game like?

I mean I would have loved to have him a year ago.

I just don't think there's anywhere for him now.

That doesn't mean we won't do it just to do it, it would just be a complete luxury buy.

IMO no....he attacks more and better in my eyes. He anticipates space better. I also think he is more capable of attacking 1v1 and winning that battle against many defenders.

Honestly I'd love to keep Isco....but it's hard to keep him and have BBC playing up top...with those guys up top you have to play Modirc, Casemiro, and Kroos in the midfield....I mean it doesn't leave any room for Isco which brings to where we are know....James is pretty much in the same boat. I mean Isco and James deserve 1st team minutes somewhere in an upper echelon European league I believe but neither are getting it at the moment with Madrid.

It's such a great dilemma that we have such fantastic players in these attacking positions. I wish James and Isco played more but I don't blame Zidane for not starting them, we have the 3 best midfielders at their respective positions in the world. I really think Isco leaves if he doesn't get more PT in the next 2 months. I think it is even more likely Morata leaves, which sucks because Benzema has been really inconsistent with his performances and doesn't show up when we need him.

Can someone explain the difference between a transfer, loan, allocation, and swap?


Swap is a trade basically correct?

Transfer~ Someone is ´bought´. The club pays the selling club what is often referred to as a transfer fee.

Loan~ Just what it sounds like. Typically, the club loaning the player pays some portion or all of the player´s wages (instead of rotting on the bench, they're gaining vital match experience and/or keeping match fit).

Allocation~ Dafuq. Maybe it means blocking a spot on a roster for a player.

Swap~ Just what it sounds like. Never happens (without some compensatory cash or other consideration).

By the way, rumblings that this guy will fill the void left by the potential departures of Isco and James:


Italian press says he´s not happy, and pines for RM.

I admittedly haven't seen much of Casemiro, but is he really better than Kante, Vidal, Naaingolan, Matuidi, Verratti, Marchisio, etc? I know Matuidi and Naaingolan have played more advanced this season, but are defensive mids at heart...and Kante is a fricking boss

Aubameyang will take his spot.

Casemiro got caught too far upfield today on Mertens´s goal.

London Evening Standard saying Hazard will stay at Chelsea despite Real Madrid's interest. Also still trying to make Koulibaly to Chelsea happen.

We'll see. Don't know what they'd do with him, however.

Yup apparently Everton tried throwing in a £90 million buy out clause

I guess this was inevitable, but I was hoping a new contract would keep him around for another year or two and drive up his price

I can't remember where we left off in his relationship status with Jose, but he'd be the perfect successor to Zlatan's throne.

Methinks you hire Karanka first, so that the translator has someone with which to share jokes on the bench.
