Zoo 2.0 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Would call absolute bullshit, as he would walk into any top club but we managed to sign James Rodriguez and Carlo Ancelotti so anything can happen. He's out of favour at Real Madrid (should be playing IMO) so will probably be happy to go - he would be an outstanding addition to our squad, quite literally on the same scale as signing James.

We would probably play a bit more offensive with him in the team, he's a proper "Number 10" so would be wasted as far back at a middle three. I'd bet we'd play Doucoure and Allan as the deep midfielders with Isco freedom to operate in the final third as he pleases. That said, James I thought would have played there but he's been used on the wing, so perhaps Carlo wants to have Isco and James out wide and keep the middle three as they are? Would mean Richarlison in a more attacking role, perhaps with us going to a (flexible) 4-4-2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Mosh is planning on closing that cheque book anytime soon. Plus I think i read somewhere the deal was looking to be a loan. Either way Real will want to get his wages off the books and his contract is up in 2022 so if it is a loan deal his contract only has 12 months left to run after the loan, so a decent fee should be arranged.

Any one watch much of Real? Does he have fitness issues or just not good enough to start? Obviously it's all rumours but apparently there's a bit of a fractured relationship between Isco and Zidane, hence why the latter is reluctant to play him (and has admitted so in his recent press conferences). Isco himself was caught a few months ago complaining about the management so I think it's a case of the talent being there but a difficult harmony at dressing room level affecting his chances in the first team. I'll be honest Real Madrid is a notorious hard club to break into. Dani Cabellos signed with much hype and is already out on loan, Isco is close to the exit door alongside the likes of Luka Jovic (again, was expected to be the next big thing). Martin Odergaard another that hasn't quite made it - when you've got players like Xabi Alonso and Luka Modric in the midfield you need to be pretty special to knock them onto the bench. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but I believe that Isco wants to head to Sevilla, as opposed to England as he wants to reunite with Julien Lopetegui.
