It is marketing for Real Madrid. They leverage on the images of these players. Di Maria and Isco are no longer selling them shirts hence James who can sell them as many shirts as possible. Ever wonder how they keep declaring profits year in year out? 3 Likes |

Isco is not even a starter in the Spanish National team. James Rodriguez was the true best player of the World Cup, where most of the best players in the World played. So Real Madrid officials are buying him because James is one of the best players in the World and Isco is not one of the best players in his national team. 1 Like |

thegoodjoehunt3: Isco is not even a starter in the Spanish National team. James Rodriguez was the true best player of the World Cup, where most of the best players in the World played. Very funny. You think James will be a starter in the Spanish national team? He'll not even have gone to the World Cup. |

joseph1013:Before the World Cup, not after the World Cup. The only reason he might not be picked is because he is not groomed to play the tiki taka way. When it comes to talent, he out performed Messi. Think of that. He was better than Messi (The highest rated player) at the World Cup. James now, will walk into any sides first team. |

thegoodjoehunt3: Before the World Cup, not after the World Cup. In your dreams! You think he'll walk into any first team? keep dreaming! The reason he was bought for that amount by Madrid is cos of commerce. He's not better than Isco. He will walk into Bayern, Barca, Man City, Chelsea first teams? Delusion! You hype a player after 5 games. How extraordinary was him in Monaco last season? I guess he was the best in the league. He was okay, nothing super about him in the French league. Players have good tournaments, that's no reason to hype them. Let's see him play consistently at the highest level before you start your tirade. |

joseph1013:On 24 May 2013, it was announced that Rodríguez had joined French side AS Monaco for a transfer fee of €45 million thus making it the second most expensive transfer in Portuguese football, behind former teammate Hulk. He signed a five-year contract keeping him at the club until 2018. This made him not only one of the most expensive transfers in the club's history, but in Ligue 1 history as well, along as the one of the highest in world football. In the French media, Rodríguez was referred to as 'perhaps' the best footballer in Ligue 1 due to his impressive debut with Monaco. Rodríguez ended his debut season without a trophy, but managed to help Monaco secure a spot in the following season's UEFA Champions League, and earn a place in the star Ligue 1 XI, as well as becoming the assist leader in Ligue 1. 2 Likes |

joseph1013:What has Isco done in football to be rated ahead of James Rodriguez? Rodriguez was the best player at FC Porto, if not the Portuguese league before his record smashing transfer to Monaco. Did Monaco buy him based on hype? He wore the Porto 10 shirt, wore the Monaco 10 shirt at a young age. Do you think it was a fluke, James Rodriguez wore the 10 shirt for Columbia? 2 Likes |

joseph1013:[b]International career Youth In 2007, Rodríguez was part of the Colombia U-17 team that finished runners-up in the 2007 South American Under-17 Championships, where he scored three goals. He also played a part helping Colombia advance to the knockout stages during the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup, where they eventually lost to the winners of the tournament Nigeria. He was also part of the Colombia under-20 squad in three youth tournaments during 2011: the Toulon Tournament, the South American U-20 Championship and the U-20 World Cup that was held in his homeland Colombia. Rodríguez scored two goals and provided three assists during the 2011 Toulon Tournament. This led him to being voted as the MVP of the tournament where Colombia won in the finals against France in a penalty shootout. Rodríguez scored one of the penalties that allowed Colombia to win the tournament. During the 2011 South American U-20 Championship, he provided three assists throughout the tournament. During the 2011 U-20 World Cup, he was named captain of the U20 squad due to his impressive leadership role and talented experience during his time in his club FC Porto. During the cup, he scored three goals and provided three assists and gained international attention as a promising aspect that eventually led many to consider him to be a crucial key member of the Colombian senior squad. Despite Colombia losing in the quarter-finals against Mexico, Rodríguez gained attention from many big clubs in Europe, and received praise from Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson.[/b] |

joseph1013: At Nineteen years of age, On 29 September 2011, Rodríguez received his first call-up to the Colombian senior side, for a match scheduled to be played against Bolivia on 11 October 2011. He was selected as the man of match, having made an impressive performance including the initiation of the goal scored in the last minute by his former Porto teammate Radamel Falcao, which allowed a 1–2 win for Colombia. |

joseph1013:In 2009, he became a regular first team player featuring in every game of the Apertura 2009. At only 17, this made him the youngest foreigner to score a goal in Argentina. His second goal for Banfield came on 26 September when he scored with a strike into the top corner from outside of the area in an important 2–1 against Newell's Old Boys, a win which helped Banfield to win the Argentine championship for the first time in the history of the club. |

thegoodjoehunt3: What has Isco done in football to be rated ahead of James Rodriguez? [b] You need to check out Isco too. Infact, there is something called accident of birth. Meaning progress can be enhanced based on where and the situation of where you are from. You think based on Isco's record, he"d not have started for Columbia in the World cup if he was born there? You think James' Monaco displays would have earned him a place in the first teams of teams like Germany, Brazil and Spain? No way! Even as impressive as Enyeama is, he'd not have started for a team like France. it is what it is. Since you be gathered James' stats, here is Isco's (Note that almost no coach in the world would have rested Iniesta and Xavi for him in the national side, so don't expect too much in the national side) In mid-July 2011, after helping Valencia's B- team return to the third level by scoring 15 goals, Isco signed a five-year contract with Málaga CF after the club activated his buy-out clause of €6 million. [5] He scored his first goal for his new team on 21 November 2011, starting in a 3–1 away win against Racing de Santander; [6] he netted again the following week in a 2–1 win against Villarreal CF, [7] and finished his first season with 32 games and five goals as the side qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its history. 18 September 2012, in Málaga's first game in the Champions League group stage, Isco netted twice in a 3–0 home win over FC Zenit Saint Petersburg, also being chosen as Man of the Match. [8] On 22 December he scored the first goal in an eventual 3–2 win against Real Madrid at La Rosaleda , leading the locals to their first victory over that opponent in 29 years; in December he won the Golden Boy award, beating Stephan El Shaarawy and Thibaut Courtois . On 28 January 2013, Isco ended speculation regarding his future by signing a new contract with Málaga – his new buyout clause was set at €35 million.[12] He scored his eleventh goal of the campaign on 13 March, netting the opener in a 2–0 home win against F.C. Porto, good enough for last-eight qualification after the 0–1 loss in Portugal. On 17 June 2013, Isco confirmed that he had received offers from Real Madrid and former Málaga manager Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City, but stated he would only make a final decision on his future after the UEFA European Under-21 Championship final. On 26 June, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez confirmed that a deal had been reached with the player and that he would be presented by the club next week, once he passed his medical; [16] the following day he signed a five-year contract, with Real Madrid paying €30 million for his services, thus becoming the first signing of newly appointed manager Carlo Ancelotti . On 18 August 2013 Isco made his official debut for the Merengues , recording an assist and scoring the winning goal in a 2–1 home win over Real Betis , the latter coming through an 85th-minute header. [18] He continued with his form by netting two goals against Athletic Bilbao on 1 September (3–1, also at the Santiago Bernabéu). In spite of continuing to score regularly when featured, Isco received limited opportunities in the first team due to the 4–3–3 formation not being suited for his style, but Ancelotti stated that it was "a temporary problem". He scored 11 goals in 53 official games in his first season , including 62 minutes in the Champions League final, a 4–1 win over Atlético Madrid. [/b] 1 Like |

No doubt, he's a fantastic talent but I think he's overrated. Let's see how he performs in the biggest test yet. Cheers bro. 1 Like |
