Transfer Rumour Isco

[charlie atkins]

Can't hurt till end of season if only for cover

He would have to try and survive training sessions under Dyche. He wouldn't know what hit him

….you made the same point as me in that he’s all about quality than athleticism. Don’t get hung up on salary if it’s a short-term fix, he could give the place a lift.

Mate we've given ourselves about 6-7 lifts at this point in the last few years.

How about we swerve another past-it sick note this time, for the first time in a decade? lol

Really seems like the profile of player we have been burnt by before.

….I absolute understand that view & would normally agree but we are in dire need of help & in these circumstances I think he could be a risk worth taking (on a short-term deal).

We wouldn't be fans if we didn't want to see the world's best players wearing our beloved Everton shirt. Unfortunately there's a world of difference though when the world's best players are being expected to get involved in a relegation dogfight and help drag is clear of it. I can only think of Di Canio who has ever done that with any sort of success in the EPL.

….he played 246 league games for Real Madrid. You don’t play that many games at that level without being prepared to work extremely hard on the training ground.

I’d want to know more about why Sevilla tossed him out when they’re in struggling in 16th place. He’s much more suited to that league, so you have to think his impact would be less here. And that’s before we get into any injury or fitness concerns. Sampaoli the manager there is known for being combative, but we don’t have much reason to think it would be better with Dyche.

He’s got more quality with the ball than our entire team, but it shouldn’t be considered unless he’s willing to graft and put in hard work, especially after the win against Arsenal. If he can do that, then we can’t be turning our noses up at anyone right now. Even as an impact substitute. But if he was fit and had that mentality, wouldn’t he be talking to better clubs?

To be fair we did offload James when he was still by far and away our best player. So it can happen.

What ever happened to offering players trials? Bring him in, see how he looks in training, make him an offer.

…..I doubt a player with his record would join on trial.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Isco is nogo

 

[Tilling]

Doubt it will happen - could you make the comparison to Christian Eriksen at Brentford though? Not quite the same level of quality, but Brentford still played pretty direct, defensive heavy football and managed to incorporate Eriksen into the side for certain games. Might be interesting to read a bit more about how they did that, and see if it would make sense for Dyche to do the same.

….to be fair, after witnessing Maupay this fella isn’t too shabby. I think he could actually give the place a lift;

Christ, that's some youtube showreel!
I wonder if he has it in him for cold hard graft. When players hit 30 they prob see the finish line for the first time. There may be a hunger to make one last go of it in the biggest league in the world.
As for Dyche, I'm sure he'll take him, if he doesn't train well he wont play but it looks like he can take a free better than anyone we already have and Dyche loves a dead ball specialist.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Can't help thinking he'd certainly help our lack of creativity.

like who?
James. Yea, injuries and the fat one screwed him but I loved seeing him in royal blue.
Dele. Yea, that was a terrible bit of business. Seemed clear to everyone that he'd lost it. Now its damage limitation.
Not really sure after that.
