Zidane is Isco's idol, he was part of the reason he chose there.
Since arriving, his Dad got rich, he won the C.L and he has watched James and Kroos get bought, he also watched his mate leave as soon as he arrived and has failed to stamp a place into the team under a couple of coaches. Pressure to shoehorn Bale, Ronaldo and James into a team is a must for any coach at Madrid. Thats why their team is so unbalanced. Granted James has struggled for time under Rafa but the point remains.
Isco will move and will have to asap for his Spain place. Fortunately for him, United have devastated Mata, a player twice Chelsea POTY who looks a shadow of himself, alongside Silva he should be chose for Spain. The key now for City is to let him do the running and rumbling, we sit back and smugly offer about what they paid for him from Malaga. Too keen and price goes up. I see this happening next week very promptly so Madrid can go for a CM like Gundogan who they need for balance.
On CW podcast they make a point about him as part of a CM pairing like he did v Liverpool. Good point, however you failed to mention the lads got a bit of magic in front of goal about him and could actually play as a false no9 of need be. Silva is a better passer and thinker but Isco has a better touch and shot on goal, he also has colder blood infront of goal and picks his moments adeptly. I have never been so struck on a player as i am with Isco, for me, the lad is the heir to Iniesta, he is that good. But, and there is one, there must a problem in his attitude because when he isnt first choice he stinks, his Kroos substition faux shock was detestful to watch and that kind of undermining of a coach incenses me. Fortunately for him, Nasri future with us will come to an end, hes injury prone and underwhelming, one final payday contract left in him. Isco in, Nasri out, for a difference of 10m(?) is great business. Isco has fire in his belly and keen to make the most out of his career.
Finally, our business recently has been sublime, Otamendi 27 and everyone else 24 or less. #InTxikiWeTrust
