You understand the concept of leverage, right? He makes a median wage at the richest club in the world who have put an (even for Citeh) unplayable buyout clause on his contract. Whether he's out of favour or not, there's no way to maneuver for him. He will go where Real decides he will go, and they don't need money...so his value to them will be to secure a prized target of theirs. Meaning Kane or Eriksen goes the other way for us to sign Isco - and fuck that.Unless we're going to get all our next players from the youth team we're going to have to get them elsewhere. I don't see why we can't buy them from other big teams. If Isco is out of favour he might be available. Look at Moura.
Aren't Real in a fair bit of debt and about to accumulate even more when they start building their over 600 million euro new stadium?You understand the concept of leverage, right?

Listening to The Totally Football Show podcast yesterday, and a 'Spanish football expert' said that Isco was definitely out of favour - along with some sort of conflict with other players - and the guy reckoned he will be on the way out, if not in Jan then at the end of the season.Aren't Real in a fair bit of debt and about to accumulate even more when they start building their over 600 million euro new stadium?
They aren't poor and certainly not just scraping by. But I do think they need to start making some extra money

England left-back Danny Rose, 28, does not expect Tottenham to strengthen their squad in January. (Independent)
Their debt/value ratio is 2%. Ours is 19%. Madrid are the richest club in the world...I don't think they'll start selling players to balance the books any time soon.Aren't Real in a fair bit of debt and about to accumulate even more when they start building their over 600 million euro new stadium?

This guy should just be sold. He does nothing to add any value beyond his few minutes on the pitch.
Get another left back in and please move this bloke on.

It's clear from his words he's hoping for reinforcements for the long season ahead. What manager wouldn't when you're challenging on 4 fronts?
However, what's also clear is that he's almost resigned himself to the fact he probably won't get any. And rather than throw his toys out the pram prematurely, he's once again acting like the consumate proffessional we know he is.
With Utd and Real Madrid job offers lurking round the corner, they're worrying words indeed.
