I have said in the past that Jorginho is a player to build a team around, if his role is to be less than that then he must be sold. So I have no problem with Jorginho being sold, the problem was always that in a short time period he wasn't actually used like in the previous season as he was coming from the bench and his impact and game influence was very minimal when he had that role and that's a basically wasting a player away and not using him correctly which results in the long term in the club being in a bad state, that is paying good wages for a bench player that isn't contributing enough and it's also bad for the player that will have his reputation lowered down, which in turn leads to other trouble when the club eventually is forced to sell the player.

It's an idea to change the type of players that the squad needs as the e.g. DM instead of a deep-laying playmaker, another idea can be in fact to add Isco that would offer more options in attack which we have been lacking this season specially when it comes to breaking down defenses.

Is this even a "real rumour"? I have no idea why we would want a guy who is as pacy as Jorg or Cesc...

 
Can't believe this rumour has got 3 pages on here. Thankfully this deal has to hopes Bob hope and no hope. Imagine if we blew £100m on isco and Zaha what a waste. 

 
Zaha is a waste, Isco would immediately make us better. We have a side with not enough technique and creativity, Isco adds that. Abraham would immediately get better entry, and we lack a threat in the tight space when teams sit back on us.

Those calling him a squad player... he is 27, and started 2 out of the last 3 champion's league finals9(obviously RM didn't make it last year). As well he played every minute for Spain in the last world cup. He's class, and a player that would help us more than any we're rumored with make top 4 (even Sancho - though admittedly, Sancho is probably the better long term buy). Our squad player buys from RM over the years haven't been bad; Makele, Kovacic, and even Morata, at least we got value for him. It's the Drinkwater's, Barkley's, Zappacosta's, Bakayoko's that we'd be better off avoiding which is what any link not named Werner, Sancho, or Isco is.

We got a boon from the youth, no need to add filler, add a player.

So Isco would send Mount to the bench, if I understand his qualities?

I say that as I have not seen him in physical challenges or running back to defend.

Frank puts a little too much emphasis on that IMHO, Willian more grit than creativity, needs space to work well, same with Mount, same with CHO (but he's a touch better in tight space). I would have guessed before the game we'd have trouble scoring, we don't have creators out there. Mount doesn't win near enough balls to play a man down in the attacking third.

 
I don't know how much truth is there about the Isco, but he will be better than Mount and Barkley right now. With all the respect and love to Mount, when did he become the undropable? He hasn't be good for weeks or month now, and again there's no disrespect on a guy in his first season with the first team. He needs competition and better players around him, upsetting him by signing a better player is the last of the concern for the manager and the club.

 
To those of you that don't want Isco, he would, at the very least, create more chances than what we are now.  Who ever is in our midfield trio right now (Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount, Barkley etc) are just not doing anything in the final third.  We are struggling to break down teams, and no disrespect to them, who we should be putting 2, 3 or 4 goals past.  Isco would improve us, I have no doubts about that.

Agree we need something different not sure on Isco, took a look at this and he dribbles well, good penalty taker yet over hits some of his longer passes and no clips of him scoring from shooting in play.

He is undoubtedly talented yet think we have those skills already though perhaps not in one player, undoubtedly would link up well with Jorginho, Kovacic and Barkley.

The concern for me just now is scoring and perhaps his angled crosses and passes might help achieve that, just not sure.




 
Classy player reminds me of Mata, far better than what we have at the moment in terms of creativity and would most likely be available this month at a reasonable price, Think we should be looking at players producing better numbers in terms of goals & assists though.

Ziyech or Olmo can both play as a 10 or as wingers.

Sorry, but is that it? Aren't these videos supposed to show off a players best bits? If that is the case, then there was nothing spectacular to see in this video. A few decent long passes here and there, but I'm not seeing anything that we aren't already seeing here. We need creativity, I'm not seeing Isco create much at all here.

People are saying he would create more for Abraham, but this video shows that he doesn't create anything for strikers.

 
Go and get him,couldn't be any worse than we are now,god I would sign Cisco with his thong song at present.

I hope we sign him, we are desperate for someone like him, Willian is still hot and cold sometimes and ofc Pulisic is injury prone and CHO is still too young...

 
Right now I think Isco is exactly the signing we need. In an ideal world we would have a left back in a similar mould to Reece James, and we would create an abundance of chances from our full backs in a similar mould to Liverpool. Right now we don’t have that and our only creativity is coming from Reece at full back. We need someone who can play in front of a 2 in midfield, I think for now Isco would be exactly what we need. Sign him.
