Almost, he's look worn out this last year or so. And been a bit inconsistent at time.

I wonder what Spain is gonna look like when Xavi leaves. Cause i'm not that sold on the younger lads just coming in and picking up, where Xavi leaves off.

They might have to alter their style a bit.

Thiago and Isco are the ones that could do it. Can't be Cesc.

Give Thiago a season as a starter and he'll be ready

Oh, we will

I see Isco as the long term replacement for Iniesta

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Oh, we will

What you reckon the line up will be for this season? Im if Moyes will play him deeper or have him as the #10 ?

Definitely fitted more for Iniesta's role, was just throwing out options for Xavi's.

I feel like Isco is more inside-out winger than he is attacking mid. He'll be throwing Pedro/Mata/Silva in the bushes.

What should happen: He plays deeper, deals with the early knocks. He's a talented breh, he'll adapt and dominate.

What I'm terrified will happen: He plays deeper, knee-jerk reaction to him being beat on early on, Moyes sets up a formation with him playing ahead of two more physical brehs and we go back to square fukking one of needing a propa propa midfielder again

Navas to have his leg broken 3rd game of the season.

Iniesta is only playin in the midfield because Alonso is out, otherwise he'll be pushed back to the left like he has been under Del Bosque. But yea your right he is more inside out winger, but his ability to float around the pitch reminds me of Iniesta. But Im just thinkin about not only who is in the u21's but in the u20's also who would be the ones in the NT natural replacements.
