Just wanting to get opinions, where does everyone think that Isco's eventual destination will be? I think its between us and City. he may replace David Silva. {Ed002's Note - Barcelona, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and Spurs had previously shown an interest in Isco and he came close to a move to Dortmund last year. If Malaga are forced to sell even though they don't want to right now, they have discussed future options on the player with a couple of clubs and I would suspect Chelsea are best placed to push a deal through - although Bayern Munich and Manchester City could well make a bid. Malaga had Isco sign a new long-term contract because they do feared a move for the player in January with his contract able to be terminated for 21M euros. There has now been an increase in his termination clause to 42M euros (including a €7M to cover agent and other fees) with a significant pay rise given to the player. Regardless of this new deal, Malaga need to raise funds to pay off a debt in March - and he could end up being sold against an advance payment. Chelsea and Real Madrid have had very recent discussions over the player and AC Milan might also look to the player if he does not agree to a move before the summer, but they would have to look to a part ownership deal because of the cost. Much to do with Isco surrounds the debt due this month. I would suspect if they can borrow from a bank to pay that debt then Isco will move to Bayern Munich in the summer.}

Sorry Fresh! but it looks like us (Chelsea), City, Real M and Bayern Munich are best placed for Isco. Mind you, if he had the choice out of living in Manchester or London we all know where he'll end up! (same place as Hazard) Plus Mata and Isco are best mates! Same with Oscar and Neymar. If you know what I mean! DJ

Where are you in the League? We have a much better squad than you and will continue to do so.

Agree2 Disagree2

We're 3rd, Champions of Europe and FA Cup holders! You've won the league this year and well done for doing so. (well deserved IMO) Roll on Bank holiday Monday Fresh! Hope you lot are ready for Mazacar! I just hope Fergie drops Rooney and playes duck face! DJ

Agree1 Disagree1

Would be a dream move to Chelski, what with their illustrious history and who's who of football icons - Speedie, Sutton, Fleck etc. Who wouldn't opt for Chelski? Yet is it Kings Rd they crave, or the desire to pull on a blue shirt?

Eds - With all the reports out there saying Pep has a war chest at Bayern, would that mean that some of their better players may be available to buy, players that maybe don't fit into the Pep mould or won't take too kindly to rotation because of the class coming in?

I haven't watched too much German football recently, but I'm thinking Ribery/Robben could be viable, maybe even Lahm or Kroos.

Might be a bit of a long shot, but with all these so called targets going in, there will have to be some going out. Have you heard anything about Bayern players being offloaded and would we be interested in any if they are?

Sween {Ed002's Note - Ribery, Pizarro, Gomez, Robben, Boateng, Van Buyten, Badstuber, Contento, Luiz Gustavo and Tymoshchuk could all be leaving. There is no interest in any of them from Manchester United right now.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

There is none of them that I would want, Badstuber maybe but none of the rest.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Eds

Fresh - Surely Robben would be a quality improvement on what we have, ship out Nani & Toni and in comes Zaha and Robben? We then need to buy somebody for the left like Rodrguez, but I suppose it all depends on the formation we play next season. It certainly needs to change if we want to fit Kagawa in and with players like Isco on the radar it would be sensible to look at a more central formation. Chelsea style.

Ed002; keep reading reports linking us with Lamela, do you know if these are true and that we may make a move at the end of the season?

Did search for info from you but couldn't find any!

Thanks {Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath for a move to England but Manchester United were interested before he left River Plate. Manchester City have been looking at him this season and are looking for talks. He has horribly complex ownership issues and would need a work permit - that will perhaps not be as easy to get as some imagine. One other English club were interested but stepped away because of these complexities.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

He is nothing go nuts about and we would not want to get into a complex deal for a player of his type, there are better options out there in terms of better players and simpler deals.
