Love the Will.I.An joke
Isco is, in my opinion, one of the hottest properties in the transfer market. As a Malaga fan and member, I highly rate Isco (this is based on actually watching the games, not just compilations on YouTube), although, getting a player of that calibre is pretty impossible for us as a club as all the big clubs have wanted him for a while. If the Al-Thani family decide to put money into Malaga and Malaga get top 4 again (btw.. we're top of our group in the CL) then they have a chance to keep him at the club. Malaga has a nice group of players and several of the young ones have exposed their qualities this season (probably due to Cazorla not dominating the headlines in Spain), they're a progressing club and Isco is the kind of player that has the potential to be one of the world 11.
Although assuming my dream of somehow getting Isco becomes a reality, I created this...
Wesley Sneijder has got to be worth looking at??!!
I'm not so sure Danny... He's 28, he's got a track record of injuries, he's on massive wages, and from what I understand he can be a disruptive element in the dressing room. I would rather we looked at someone up and coming who might stay here for more than a couple of years and has his best footballing years ahead of him, not behind him.
Apart from the disruptive part...
I'm a fan of 28 year old injury prone Dutchmen on big wages. I really fucking miss him.
I dont think he was having a dig at Spurs , i d think he just wanted to have a friendly quote to make him popular and less like a money grabbing whore when he does decide to leave.
Italian football , its all a big mess really

I'm a fan of that 28 year old injury prone dutchman as well, he did however have no where near the wages sneijder is currently on. We would most likely have to add another one and a half Ade sized bill to our current one, and that's not really healthy!Apart from the disruptive part...

I might have phrased that young and up coming a little vaguely. What I should've said is someone up and coming that's already proved he can be at a european/Libertadores(we've seen what that can give us with Sandro) cup competition level. Others have mentioned Isco and he fits what I meant, although we shouldn't necessarily go for him.
When was the last time we bought a first team starter from a champions league club in one of the big leagues? Isco is highly unlikely. If we buy from that kind of club, it has to be bench warmers like VDV.I'm a fan of that 28 year old injury prone dutchman as well, he did however have no where near the wages sneijder is currently on. We would most likely have to add another one and a half Ade sized bill to our current one, and that's not really healthy!
Jesus, he doesn't do Charlie as well does he...?
Malaga and Real aren't exactly the same level but I get your point. Our situation atm is that we need to take a gamble and buy players like Isco before they are too established. Once they are performing well in the CL we don't stand a chance.
High risk, high reward...and good thing Spurs aren't a national team. I would take my chances...especially at his price tag.
Let us not forget Malaga's financial woes, as well.Isco's a little different because he's a rising star still on a disproportionately low salary. If he signs a new deal with Malaga then forget it, but it hasn't gone through yet and his release clause is still reasonable.
Also he can do this:
That gif. Holy shit.
