Well this would tie in with building towards a 4-3-3 formation

Nasri out and Isco in would do very nicely!

IMO,there is no way he would choose Arsenal over us.....NO WAY.

Not happening and defo not in Jan he'd also probably be cup tied in Champs League.

Don't think he would get a game to be honest. Good squad player though.

Can't see us making any major signings in January, we've addressed the areas we wanted to during the summer. It's not all that usual for a big name, high profile, expensive signing to happen in January. We signed Dzeko a few years back but, in the main, we've been relatively quiet in the mid-season window.

Maybe we'd be interested in Isco next summer, especially if someone like Nasri was on the way out, but he's certainly not a high priority at this stage I'd suspect.

I think the link is bollocks, he is 1 injury or 1 loss of form away from being a first team regular there

No, he's not.

Perez insists that Bale and Ronaldo play even when they are in bad form, otherwise Isco would have played over Bale for most of last season when he was crap.


Isco has played all 3 midfield roles regularly, but James is better than Isco as an attacking midfielder, Kroos is better as the deep lying playmaker and Modric is better as the defensive option in midfield.

The only way Isco gets into the team is if someone is injured, which is a shit situation for someone like him to be in. They have a young squad as well, so it's not going to change any time soon.

Him wanting to leave makes loads of sense.
