Isco

[I'm no cynic but...]

Would it actually be possible to get isco on a loan with a guarantee to buy next year?

If it is a mutual agreement rather than a written one then I wouldn't think UEFA would have a case to fight us with. The loan fee might be high for a player of his abilities though.

Well someone had to!


Do you think it might happen?

He had his chance.

I don't think Pelly and the owners would have been impressed by him and his dad using us to smoke out Madrid.

He can't be trusted and that doesn't go down well now at our place.

I hope so, would love to see him at City! I reckon Pellers would still want him here, doesn't seem the kind of guy to hold a grudge.

I suppose it isn't about holding a grudge. Just can't trust the kid any more. He made Pellers look a little foolish at a time when he was in a new job and under scrutiny for not having won anything and he told his new bosses he could get his young whizz-kid to join us. It fell through and the kid who talked about Pellers as his "footballing father" sold him out for 30 pieces of silver and went off to play for the Madridistas that he's been slagging off all his professional life.

If he wants to come to City no it's because he's flopped at Madrid and can't get a regular place.

Do we want their sloppy seconds now anyway ?

A season-long loan with an option to buy would be perfect.

Could see it happening in time as a David Silva replacement. Not this summer though

Well, if Madrid do sign Kroos, that's pretty much bye bye Isco playing time. He'll be sold if Madrid get James too.

Que? Both play in totally different positions

madrid play 433 and Isco is a #10. He has to adapt his game to play as one of the midfield 3. Tell me, how can he get ahead of Kroos, Modric for CM, out wide they have Bale, Ronaldo and Jese. Di Maria too if he stays

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Whenever I hear or see the name "isco",I always think Shaun wright Phillips,and what happened with him when he thought he was getting his big move to Chelsea.

 

[Ray78]

Depends on who is on Real's shopping list and if a loan move is viable. Other than that then let him stay at the Bernabéu.

I would have thought Kroos would be signed to replace Alonso who has probably only got another season left at the top level, he looked way off the pace in the World Cup.

Isco has never held a place down in Madrid's team and certainly wasn't signed to play in the midfield 3 so the signing of Kroos won't be to push him out. If they are selling Isco it won't be because they have signed Kroos, it will be more likely be because he simply doesn't fit into their team.

And for what its worth, i don't think Madrid play a 4-3-3. If anything it is more of a 4-2-3-1 with Modric and Alonso playing in front of the back 4. Di Maria, Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema as the front 4, none of them really hold their position.

Think it starts as a 433 and then Di Maria shifts towards the left a bit as Ronaldo cuts inside. Also Ancelotti said Isco would have to adapt or something like that in view of the formation.

You are right about Xabi, but they Have Illara and Khedira to play DM/holding CM. Isco at best would be a backup option. Kid's wasted there

I thought someone said on here that we were going to try and get him on loan, or was that joke?

If I was Txiki I would be on the phone to Florentino Perez and asking for a loan.

It's worth a try.

Yep would mind another attacking midfield option. Seems a better finisher than Silva and Nasri

It's time.
