Still interested in illarimendi (sp) from
madrid. Bought in to replace Alonso and not quite hit the heights but very talented and was highly rated at sociadad before he moved.

£15m could be decent price although he strikes me as a deep lying play maker. Do we need that?
 
I'd be happy with illarramendi - signing players from better clubs is also always a good move imo. Plus he looks like Alonso and is a deep lying playmaker, what's not to like? at 25, he's probably at the right time to really shine in that role
 
Illarramendi is a classy player and I wouldn't say no, but again, he needs to be played ahead or alongside a DM. The same applies to all of our other midfielders.

Like all good deep lying play makers, Can and illarramendi: the new Mascherano and Alonso <ok>

that would be ****ing brilliant, so the pessimist in me says it wont happen then.

knowing our luck we will cheap skate and try and get spearing back lol.
 
Just saw that.

Also so translated as 'I wanted to play in an easy league than really test myself in the prem' <whistle>

I thought he meant he wanted his teammates to win trophies for him

2 semi-finals and a title challenge in the last 2 seasons means we consistently compete but he'd need to contribute himself
