Isco (merged)

[domalino]

When do Real play Valencia?

19.30 KO.

 

[Lkzerinho]

19.30 KO.

So we should expect to see the squad at around 6:30? or do they announce earlier in Spain?

so has the whole team pretty much though, the answer can't be lets spend a load of money again though. our attack when on form is the best in the league. if we buy isco who do you drop ?

New attacking option could be the perfect kick up the arse. Atm I'd give Silva and KDB some rest time. After that I'd drop whoever wasn't playing well. Simples.

Oh and it has been the attack that's been shite away from home, we've been fucking up at the front and letting the opposition stay in the match and even take the lead when they should be dead in the water.

Lovet this guy...top player but no idea what we would do with him or who we would drop....surely not kdb, silva or sterling based on ability and investment made in them.

what do you do when they come back though, isco would want to start every game, you aren't going to drop or rotate silva, de bruyne sterling. we never do rotate our best players. id much rather we developed our talent like roberts and nacho and give them a chance, if we buy someone like isco neither of them will play

For 30 million if true seems a great price, also already had his head turned by Real so if he kicks on less likely he would be enticed back.
I think it sounds like a summer signing, why move and be cup tied for the CL when you are with a team with a realistic chance of winning it. I can't see us
leaving Nasri out of the squad as would
kill all motivation to get fit. Would also start to get City a bad rep if we did this with players as also happened with
Jovetic.

Maybe he wants to have a real chance of playing for Spain in France later this year plus maybe he does not trust Benitez to be able to win the CL and even if he manages to do so, maybe he wouldn't feel any sense of entitlement having been second or third choice for much of the campaign.

It's a meritocracy. Besides, I think Isco could also play instead of both Yaya or Aguero as the situation demanded, the boy's a street footballer.

I guess so. I'll keep an eye on Twitter. He hasn't started any of the last 5 league games and he was caught on camera taking the piss out of Benitez dropping Kroos last week so I wouldn't get excited if he's dropped from the squad - it could easily be for disciplinary reasons.

I wouldn't read too much into it if he's involved tonight. De Bruyne was continually selected whilst we were negotiating with Wolfsburg. Be better for us if he was on the bench rather than starting though.

Or perhaps more likely sterling could play up top and we could have silva Isco KDB behind him occasionally.

Also I think Silva's ankle is going to be a bigger and bigger problem as he gets older so he will miss more and more games because of it every year. 10 years of defenders leaving their foot in trying to stop him seems to have left its mark.
