I've been really impressed with him so far in the u21 Euros.

 

[impeh]

looked great! got a decent shot on him, for a while he seemed the most likely player to score

... plus he plays for Sociedad

 

[JamDav1982]

Had a great season for Sociedad. Moves the ball quickly, like a smaller Busquets.

 

[ceefoo]

Would like him at Barca, if we didn't already have Busquets, Mascherano, Song etc.

Magnificent player, and much more than a DM. Unlike most other DM's he can dribble and looks to play forward, start attacks, and not just pass sideways and backwards.

 

[Dervyx]

Let's hope now that La Real will keep him and Ruben Pardo.

 

[Mr Hulot]

He's more of a box to box midfielder than a Busquets type defensive midfielder in my opinion. I won't pretend to like his playing style, but he definitely has a bright future ahead of him. His playing style suits perfect Premier League and I won't be surprised if he goes to a team like Chelsea or Machester United. I hope he will stay with Sociedad for at least one more year, though!

Very good player. Man of the match today.

 

[te amo barca]

His perfomance for Spain U21 . Surely, Spain has got the best midfield talents...

Today's world economy being how it's and all, Spain should consider selling some of them. ;]

Not really box to box, he plays sort of like a much more mobile version of Alonso. I like him a lot and hope he succeeds

Mmmm Don Andres did you not claim that I Martinez took Sociedad to fourth place single handedly?

And I had to point out to you how good the likes of Illaremendi was for them?

Apolgies if it wasnt you, think it may have been though!

Never on earth would I have pinned Sociedad's fourth place campaign on a single player. Carlos Martinez, Illaramendi, Vela, Griezmann, Inigo, and many more were all amazing players and brought them up to 4th place in a tremendous team effort. I applauded Inigo for his individual performances over the season but he didn't carry the team, no single one of them did.

Apologies someone on here did and I thought it may have been you in one of our many debates!
