Isco

[Meitux]

I think he'll go to City. For one, he has a better chance of starting or getting a lot of playing time there with Pellegrini being the coach and without having to compete with Ozil, Kaka and Modric.

Is really Kaka someone who will compete for a starting spot at Real anymore?

No, but he'll still have to compete with Kaka for playing time.

If Ancelotti becomes the next RM coach, yes.

1. Sell Villa Cesc, Xavi, and Alves to Monaco for 120m
2. Make Thiago and Montoya starters
3. Buy Isco, Inigo Martinez, and De Gea
4. Give Bartra and Tello more minutes

New cycle

Hahaha. Obviously we're not going to sell Xavi but it really pisses me off that he ends up playing almost every match at 33 years old and has been CLEARLY below his standard for about a year and a half now while we have a phenomenal youngster in Thiago who can step up and make an impact.

Isco wount come here, he will most likely or definitely be a second string player and he aint no second string player. I really wish we had space for him cause he will be one of the best players in the world in years to come. Hopefully he goes to city he will surely be a starter there .

To those who feel like he can combine with Thiago to replace the Xaviniesta duo, it wouldn't really work in Isco's favor. Isco is a more dominating player than Iniesta and would work better with the team built around him. He has all the basic qualities to be a prototype false 9 type player but at Barca he'd constantly be against guys like Neymar or Messi to try to get the ball and express his creativity. He creates but he also demands as well and that's why he needs to be the alpha-dog and not working against his teammates.

Montoya, Thiago, Bartra and Tello are our best products since some years and they're definitely not overrated.

On the other hand, it's really, really stupid to sell your best players (or even club legends) for rich clubs and make a team of youngsters.

Well, it wouldn't actually be bad if Tito overplayed Xavi, he gets injured which results in more playing time for Thiago.

He was chosen the MVP of the Euro U21.

He was chosen the MVP of the Euro U21.

Not sure why. He scored 2 brilliant goals had some nice skills but Thiago was massive for spain without his maturity the wouldnt be the same. Or is it because he is 22 years old and the award is named "best player under 21"...

 

[Galning]

Isco overall had a great tournament, Thiago as well. Thiago showed up more in the final because of his goals but Isco was just as good in the other games. He deserves it. These awards are always open for debate anyway.

 

[Gilberto]

Thiago was great but Isco was a tad bit better in my opinion.
And Isco has more flair, which is entertaining and that is probably why he has been picked.
