The case of Isco has turned into a crisis.
Solari hasn't used the player since taking the coach's position at Real Madrid, and in less than a month he has already delivered the first punch on the table.
So much so that the table will be trembling for a few days.
Isco is a star, and sending him to the stands in a Champions League match where even Fede Valverde and Vinicius made the bench, is only going to end one way.
His status doesn't deserve this type of penalty.
Solari has to make decisions, that's what the coach is for, but he's wrong in this case and the wound is open.
At this rate, Isco will end up leaving, and in the rest of Europe his stock is still very high.
Maybe he's even more valued outside of Spain than at home, and economically he is, for sure.
There, in the distance, Guardiola and City already appear.
Txiki Beguiristain went to the Costa del Sol to try and sign Isco for Manuel Pellegrini back in 2013, after his exuberant year with Malaga in the Champions League.
But Madrid got in the middle of the negotiations and, thanks to the mediation of Alvaro Morata, Isco ended up choosing Los Blancos.
He wasn't wrong because at 26, he has four Champions Leagues and a LaLiga Santander title, among others.
His renewal came just before Barcelona's Josep Maria Bartomeu prepared to hand him a huge bonus to sign for the Catalans, even though, at that point, he would be a year without playing.
The president's dream of turning him into the new Iniesta remained just that, because a 700 million euro clause was insurmountable.
Guardiola has made his interest in the player clear in the past.
And as David Silva prepares for the end of his career, Isco fits perfectly into Pep's plan to continue making history at City...

Isco deserves it, you can not walk more lost than you are, you have to rethink many things and get to work that you know and is very good, but as this is mediocre.

Always criticizing the coaches do what he says Florentine and one comes demanding work and also criticize. Well come hazard and we forget Isco. Nowadays it is not enough to be better, you have to give 100% or you paint your face like in Eibar and there Isco did not play. Maybe that's why yesterday Llórente played.

Another palm of players finished. Isco no longer bargains and if he does it is where less danger generates and arrives late to all the sites because it is very slow. And all this is because he is fat, Valencia already realized that he had a tendency to gain weight, perhaps due to genetic causes, and did not fight to keep it when Málaga paid the clause. He must now weigh about seven kilos more than when Madrid signed him.

if you want possesion play Isco, if you want to score goals with less possesion bench Isco, if you dont want to play barca style of play sell Isco. Isco is made for barca style, but i doubt he is just good in dribbling and possesion but his creativity is not even upto half of iniesta's level. In terms of creativity i would still prefer fabregas ahead of him. Isco simply is good to waste time when you lead in a match.

Isco will not go to start any team "top" because it simply is not "top", no matter how "top" they want us to believe it is. Silva, Iniesta, De Bruyne, Neymar, Hazard, Messi and company do not reach the sole of the boot.

He dribbles a lot that’s my problem with him . A grate player yes , but fantastic football alone can’t give us trophy . In Manchester city we need more business minded players not those who play for personal recognition.. unless pep will transform him ..

Well, thinking about the national team, Guardiola's city seems to me a good destiny. Isco fits more in the style of play of Barsa and therefore in the Guardiola, who has not invented anything, simply applies the style that JOHANN Cruyff installed in the Barsa and Guardiola has sucked as a child
