Cristiano Ronaldo - £288,000 p/wk. Gareth Bale - £256,000 p/wk. James Rodriguez - £120,0000 p.wk. Isco - £60,000 p/wk. If one were to take those figures at face value, they would instantly come to the conclusion that Isco was but a peripheral figure on the sidelines at the Santiago Bernabeu - nothing more than a fringe player and a water-carrier for his more illustrious and extortionately-paid team-mates. This season, that has simply not been the case, however. There have been calls from Madridistas for their club record signing to be left on the bench in favour of the diminutive Spaniard, with his impressive performances thus leaving Carlo Ancelotti with a selection dilemma and forcing Spanish boss Vincent del Bosque to give him a ring for the international matches. While wages probably werent at the forefront of his mind when he jumped at the chance of his dream move last year, the 22 year old is probably in a stronger position now to negotiate a more lucrative deal that reflects his skills.
