He'll basically be competing directly with 3 players (Casemiro, Kroos, Modric) for 2 spots after a season in which the midfield shite itself due to a lack of rotation. Silva should be the 4th non-EU player. Illarra is typically ignored.

Since he can offer a driving force from a deeper position, I'm sure that he'll be put into situations where he'll have opportunities to do that. Would expect Casemiro to rotate in before him in games with a smaller margin of error, so he shouldn't be under too much pressure, for Real Madrid anyway.

If he's ok with 2nd man minutes then cool cause i think that out of those 4 obviously Kroos and Modric get the lion's share.

he's young so i imagine he won't be pushing for major minutes this year. i think the attack gets overhauled next year and that may shake up the midfield. and, sadly, it does appear that isco is the odd man out. he's going to be a beast of beasts on another team where he gets to pull the attacking strings as a true 10

....I'm still hoping for maybe a sell of Benzema (hard to even say this to be honest) and stack CRon up top so that we can get a line of James - Bale - Isco behind him. I think something like this could end up being lethal for Real.
De Gea (yea yea yea)
Marcelo - Pepe - Ramos - Danilo
Kroos - Modric
James - Bale - Isco
CRon
To me that looks like a UCL contending lineup and a lineup that would absolutely give Barca's suspect back line fits in the league....but what the hell do I know.

Pretty good stuff.
I´m not sure Danilo is capable of displacing Carvajál, just yet.
Bale in the center doesn´t excite me at all. He´s still a trackstar and has a great shot, but I don´t see him being adept enough with the ball in the middle.
Also, I don´t think Cron is going to be nearly as effective, battling CBs on his own.
As for Isco being odd man out with Benítez, that would suck donkey dicks, for sure. He´d be well advised to take a high profile transfer.

Very good point....and I agree actually.

Both good points but if CRon can't play up top and you have to keep Benzema there then that kills my plan to get Isco on the field regularly

not flashy enough not big enough name
but Isco is def the right answer

How is Isco not a big name?
Posted on 8/17/15 at 10:54 am to Jabroni
I think he was referring to DeBruyne.....

How Chelsea have not made a move for Isco is beyond my imagination.

well thats just not true
esp since KDB has been one of the names dominating transfer news the last few months even before the season ended.

Maybe they are working the channels..... I too, think that would be a bang up signing for Chelsea (and for Isco).
Hazard would probably give his left nut for Isco to come on board (the wear and tear he would save, plus the service, it´d be scary seeing those two together).

It's exactly the kind of player we need and one that we might could actually get based on his current situation.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I thought you replied upon seeing KDB.

Isco is the better player and would suit City's needs better.
But KDB is one of the hottest names in the game right now.
