Isco

[2sheikhs]

I can see what's happened here. We've sold Tevez for £10m. Our board secretly know Isco is coming to us. They've waited 'til the odds on him signing for us had reached 20-1, then lumped that £10m on it with betfred. We get £210m back, can buy any fucker we want with the winnings and have bankrupted a rag in the process.

 

[Plain Speaking]

that'd be a new one for Real Madrid.

Haha, yes they have a fast turn around of managers.
It would undermine Ancelotti if Isco arrived, before he had time to assess and review his squad?

The manager has nothing to do with transfers in Madrid. To win the vote and become president, particularly with Real it is about convincing you will sign the best players. The Real fans love Florentino because he normally does that. It isn't regarded as undermining like it would be in England with our press - part of Pellegrini's recent statement in regard to Navas and Fernandinho make it seem like he had given his approval for us to sign them. Probably more for the press that statement than anyone else. Real for instance conducted their own business when Pellegrini was manager, it is just the way they do things.

I accept the president of RM is elected and tries to do this by making election pledges.
Surely the best managers will expect an input on selection?
I would imagine Mourinho wasnt just presented with his squad?

You are right, they make these promises and the manager coaches and plays his players accordingly, but in this instance Real were without a manager when Isco was supposedly signed up. There is always the possibility that a player will sign up for a manager rather than a club, regardless of that club's history. Perhaps Isco has been waiting to see who the new manager was to be, and there is always the possibility that he might not like the new man. It's still clutching at straws, but the silence is deafening.

Ancelotti: "No he participado en los fichajes de Isco, Casemiro o Carvajal"

Dunno of the origins of the quote.
