Isco: what happened?

[Edmond Dantes]

Forgive my ignorance but what's going on with Isco? Why is he still without a club?

 

[RTID55]

wage demands

 

[Bobby De Niro]

I have a large collection of butt-plugs etc etc

 

[BigBuff]

At one point he looked like he was going to be one of the best then it all just fell apart

Away you go tae his home, or gie him lodgings.

 

[Bear84]

the Thong song was great but he never followed it up

 

[John MacKenzie]

Pardon MY ignorance who the hell is Isco?.

 

[tazzabear]

Pardon MY ignorance who the hell is Isco?.

A tremendously talented Real Madrid footballer who hit the skids for some reason or another.

You honestly don't remember Billy Isco? He played about 10 or so games for us under Warburton.

Thanks for that folks name still doesn't register with me,.

 

[GovanFront4]

Seen him play in 2015 and the Real Madrid fans were loving him.

 

[Funkhouser]

How dare you.

You're going straight to the wild, wild West.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Isco, Asensio and someone else was likened to their own Xavi and Iniesta type players breaking through at one point.

They were really poor the game I was at but Kroos played and was an absolute joy. Never appreciated him until seeing him in person.

That was Will Smith ya daft hun.

 

[Jjbscotty]

massive Barca fan and called his dog messi don’t think Madrid fans ever took to him.

 

[Bunnybear]

He didn't come through there, they paid about £25m for him from another Spanish side. He was still young at that point I'm sure right enough, and was supposed to be the next big thing.

 

[Micah Bell]

Until he wins the WC his trophy cabinet will be incomplete

 

[StokeyBear]

Great player when he wants to be. His old Malaga highlight reel is a joy to watch

 

[Wilso54]

Score for fun up here.

 

[Roscoblue]

Came through at Valencia, Malaga bought him and he was then sold to Madrid.

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

2015/16 I think it was, he was the best midfielder in the world. He had a couple good seasons, but there was one in particular he was terrifyingly good. Absolutely no one could get the ball off him

 

[StokeyBear]

He´s from Benalmadena, he was a frequent goer of the Rangers pub there. Might be nothing but I´m told Francisco is as loyal as they come, always been a dream of his to play for the famous.

 

[Micah Bell]

Honestly thought that was a wind up when I heard it, quick google confirms it’s actually true. That’s fucking hilarious tbh.

Like a crash barrier with a dug called Gazza

 

[BigBuff]

I forgot Malaga went through a spell of spending cash and having great players

 

[George Agdgdgwngo]

Cracking player.

Where did it all go wrong?

 

[KensingtonBlue]

Lazy, always has been. Would have gotten away with it in the 90s/00s with his immense technique. In terms of ability he's probably still top 10 in the world.

But now the modern game prioritises running power and physicality first. The lazy maverick geniuses have no place. Sad.

 

[AstroScotland]

The Spanish Dele Alli

 

[Micah Bell]

The Spanish Dele Alli

Both male footballers. That’s about where the similarities end. He might have disappeared off the radar but he’s achieved a hell of a lot and played some brilliant games on the biggest stage.

Dele Alli scored a great goal against Crystal Palace once and microwaved a tin of beans

 

[Coruña Loyal]

Nightlife has brought misery for him and Asensio, to be honest.

Long Covid by the looks of the dates.

 

[Henry Hill]

isnt Asensio out of contract this summer too?

 

[keep_believin84]

I empathise, I’d have been a footballer too if it hadn’t been for nightclubs hoaching with fanny and flat beer!

So has Isco

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

That tie with Dortmund in the CL quarters was unreal. Goals, controversy and brilliant football.

I was just watching the highlights, that seemed to be what finished them trying to challenge at that level, they're 20th in the league below now

Tremendous!

 

[DKRangers]

Isco, Asensio and someone else was likened to their own Xavi and Iniesta type players breaking through at one point.

When Asensio broke through and was playing with Spain under 21s he was tipped to be a future Ballon d'Or winner. I remember seeing him scoring screamer after screamer. Now he barely gets a game.

James Rodriguez was another who had a tremendous World Cup in 2014 then never reached the heights after that.

His dog kept shitting on the carpet. That's why he called it Messy.

I'm just hoping Admin remember the infamous "That's Robbie Savage" post from years ago.

 

[GForce]

Fairly sure Malaga retired his shirt number.

Saw him score a free kick for Madrid against Malaga back in 2018 and the whole stadium applauded. Think Madrid won 0-2. Was there to see Ronaldo and they rested him

 

[BulletProofBear]

Thanks, I needed that today.

Rodriguez, I thought, would take top spot in world players... Think he ended up at Everton then an Arab league?

I try not to express opinions now

 

[MainStandLoyal]

isnt Asensio out of contract this summer too?

Supposedly he’s signing for Barca.

 

[stevenma]

Isco's Mrs Sara Salamo is stunning.

 

[roscof]

With Seville now surely, playing with them last season
