It’s certainly interesting. That reads like a briefed statement from the club, but I would have Jose Alvarez’s information would also be accurate considering the source.

Well what a surprise. Him and Sanchez proper time wasters.
Excellent player, probably the long term replacement for David silva.
Not even close. Isco has never accepted the variety of responsibilities David regularly assumes on the pitch, week in week out. I like his technique, his composure, his off ball movement in the final third, his creativity, his scoring ability. But he lacks David's vision, plus David does a lot lot more, reading the game perfectly, dictating the rhythme, keeping the ball if he has to, etc etc etc. Again, week in week out. David will run, fight and suffer like everybody else on the pitch, actually more, leading by example (just like Kevin). While Isco's work-rate is a serious question mark. Sometimes you watch him walking out there, like not seeming to bother -I don't think I would enjoy experiencing such a behaviour being his teammate...
The fact is you cannot rely on him, he will need a serious, radical improvement in terms of mentality to get into this team. And even if he does, he will never match David's overall talent. I fully understand Zidane on this...

silva isn't going anywhere though and is getting better. he could arguably play for another 3-4 years at this level. so we bring isco in and then put him on the bench or bench david silva ? also it would kill any chance of foden getting game time.

Big difference in his agents touting Isco to us and others, and Pep actually wanting it though.

Not sure what you mean?
His agents contacted us. That was all I heard. I have no bearing on what the outcome may be of that.
It was only a few days later some reliable Spanish journo was tweeting Pep had spoken personally to Isco to reassure him of games?

Milner was assured captaincy and centre mid to sign for Liverpool. He was lucky to get the left back slot for half a season
