Moving to Monaco from Porto should tell you a lot about his character. And if we are to believe the paper talks he is screwing over the dressing room quite a bit with his primadonna behaviour.
Fits perfectly with Madrid in my opinion.
mmm who cares, only people very superficial can judge others peoples by these things.
i don't care about his private life and I don't care how he is a person, i have my life and i don't care nothing about the lives of others. I talk about football, a great talent like him can't be wasted on the bench. However, he did well to choose As Monaco their project at first seemed like that of Psg and in Monaco he was a permanent starter. So for me was a smart choose. The wrong choice was Madrid which is a team where it does not matter how good you are, but only the sympathy and marketing.
Isco was wanted by Zidane and prefer him over James. James is a player more effective but less flashy and I think Zidane prefers the second category.
Time will tell us, it's still a bit early to say who zidane thinks is best suited for RM, maybe he will rotate them as games go by.

I told you that sooner or later he would get colombian player syndrome...

Falcao was a damn great player before his unfortunate injury. Bacca is doing very well too in Milan.
James too never showed any signs of being a primadonna as far as I know. I like James the footballer so would be sad if he throws his career away. Would be great if he moves elsewhere though away from Real Madrid

He will start every game in the next weeks anyway.

Because of Bale's injury? Well this is an opportunity for him, but the thing is, in the words of Ancelotti, he is a player for the future, this was in reference to Real Madrid's planning of offloading Ronaldo, which might be difficult now with the transfer ban. In any case, for the only way to play James is in place of Toni Kroos if Zidane continues to prefer Isco and insist on BBC. I don't think we will miss Toni much to be honest. The problem is that, I don't think James can cover the same amount of ground as Di Maria but that depends on how Modric can dictate that midfield.
Because you can see Zidane is really playing a compact team, a compact line up, so he doesn't have to do that much running.

He's an amazing player but I still see him as highly overrated by the madrid media machine.
Still have to see him solve an important game for RM, except for some flashy goals against Almeria or Betis ... I'm not impressed, and zizou is right to bet on Isco who brings more to the build up play.
But yeah, "future ballon d'or" according to Roncero.

I disagree.
If anything James has showed so far in Real Madrid to be the better player and far more crucial than tunnel vision Isco is when it comes to build up play.
Obviously it's unfortunate if he's going the wrong way, but considering the Madrid dressing room, media and board breed a false sense of superiority, diva-antics and hype, it's hardly surprising their dressing room is split with certain players going the wrong way.
Before anyone comes up with the example of Ronaldinho, then whatever he did, only took a toll on him and his career. Didn't affect the dressing room with groupings and other dramaqueen antics. He held a good relationship with everyone despite of everything.
scored against Atletico, assist against Barca, man of the match against Atletico in UCl, assist and penalty procured against Juve. It seems to have shown enough and all those things out of position. If he is not good in the big games, what is Isco? Simple useless, in big games and even in most of normal games. Isco also last year played more than james and was for sure worse. Real Madrid with James had 80% of victories, without him 63%. James for me is a special talent, Isco is just another classic short player with great dribbling, but mediocre visione and football intelligente.
