Sorry Rhino, reading that back my post may have come over as a bit condescending. It wasn't meant to, I used the wrong emoticon. Isla was wanted by Liverpool, Newcastle and Arsenal. Which should give a great indication to his ability. He is technically very good and has a perpetual engine that never ceases. He's passing and tackling are very good too, but the clincher for me is that he is well versed in playing anywhere in a back three. Good luck with the future baby rhino mate.
If this goes through how long will it take for other teams "fans" to come on here giving the club grief for spending huge sums of money on these players when we can't afford it, so much in debt, smallest club in the league, smallest ground, worst supporters etc etc....... Couple of hours or so?
@ByrneBarry: Sky Sport Italia confirming the Mauricio Isla from Juve to QPR. Reporting deal should be done in next few days.
This sounds like a happy fairy story! Wondering if the nasty old witch is Mrs Arsenick or Mrs Mogrbina?
A few days, how many times will we hear that a deal will be done in a few days!? Gives other teams time to bollocks it up for us. Would be a fantastic signing if it comes off. Fingers crossed boys.
@TFS_QPR: Mauricio Isla to #QPR details: €1.5m for a loan with option to buy set at another €11m. [Tuttosport] http://t.co/qxrpHvZr97
He had a good World Cup, but has had two very average seasons with Juve, after being brilliant at Udinese. The Juventini aren't fussed, think he's better defensively than going forward, poor first touch and passing. But they are very fussy fans and Conte is a brutal manager, perhaps thats why he has only had 25 appearances in 2 seasons. Plenty good enough for us, something to prove on loan, can chat in Spanish with Ale.......
Great news if we can pull it off!............... I like Mutch as well plus apparently Remy joining up in Ireland................
footballitalia ‏@footballitalia 14 min BREAKING: #Juventus confirm Mauricio Isla has a deal with #QPR and will have his medical tomorrow. #Chile
I still wait for the offcial site. If this come true our defence should be good enough.... Couple of strikers and a good midfielder and we are ready to rock!
