Isco has a REAL dilemma on is hands. Both clubs are huge gambles for him, in terms of his career. Does he take what could be a once in a life time oppotunity and join Madrid or does he take City in a league he doesn't know and a club that could or could not be right for him. With us he doesn't know what to expect. With Madrid he can more or less guarantee success at some point. He could of course become a bench warmer at Madrid and with us become a world star. He could also become a world star at Madrid and horribly injured whilst with us thus rendering any possible future move to Madrid unlikely. As a Spanish player and Spanish national I think turning down his countries biggest club and choosing a club he is unsure of, is unlikely. However I hope he takes the biggest gamble and chooses us.
I trust Isco will do what is right for Isco & not for us or Real. On the up side he has some principles. He knows he'll be leaving Malaga soon, but was still moved enough to extol his disgust for UEFA for banning them from Europe when as he claims, some of the clubs who fought tooth & nail for FFP are still allowed to compete in Europe, but are in worse financial situations than Malaga.
Most players would probably have thought 'Well I'm in the lifeboat, so fuck everybofy else'! It's an admirable stance for any player to take especially one so young. All we can do is hope that Txiki, Pellegrini & Ferran are successful in marketing MCFC and what we stand for & hope to achieve as a club yo Isco & that the decision the player makes for himself benefits us and not Madrid.
