Footie News Roundup.
Occasionally, I do a news roundup over at ONTD-FB but in the last two days I've come across some very nice, Real Madrid related articles so I thought I'd post them up here for everyone to read.
I'm at the best club in the world' - Isco rules out leaving Real Madrid
The attacking midfielder was linked with a number of clubs during the summer, including Tuesday's opponents Liverpool, but he wants to win more titles with the Blancos
Isco insists that he will not be leaving Real Madrid, claiming that he sees no reason to ditch "the best club in the world".
The Spain international only joined the Blancos from Malaga last summer but, despite an encouraging start to his Santiago Bernabeu career, he ultimately failed to nail down a regular berth in Carlo Ancelotti's starting line-up last season.
The lack of game time led to speculation linking Isco with a move away from the Spanish capital, with Tuesday's Champions League opponents Liverpool among those said to have been seriously interested in signing the 22-year-old.
The attacking midfielder ended up staying put and is currently flourishing, having been afforded a run of four successive starts in the absence of Gareth Bale.
The Welshman is on the verge of returning to first-team action but Isco is unperturbed and says he has no desire to leave Madrid - even if he is once again restricted to a bit-part role.
"My feelings on my career at Marid are very positive," he told Bwin. "I'm in the best team in the world, we are winning titles, we achieved La Decima [last season] and hopefully we can continue that.
"I think the best place to keep winning titles is Real Madrid."

FABIO CAPELLO: ANCELOTTI BETTER FOR REAL MADRID THAN MOURINHO
Fabio Capello has claimed that Carlo Ancelotti is a far better coach for Real Madrid than previous boss Jose Mourinho because of he is a less divisive character with a more attractive footballing philosophy.
Mourinho won La Liga and the Copa del Rey during his three-year stint in the Spanish capital but he departed in acrimonious circumstances, having fallen out with a number of star players including club captain Iker Casillas, while the Santiago Bernabeu faithful never fully warmed to the Portuguese's defensive, counterattacking tactics.
Ancelotti, meanwhile, led Madrid to Champions League glory in his first season at the helm, while his free-scoring side are currently in the midst of a sensational 11-game winning streak. Consequently, Capello believes that his fellow Italian is the ideal tactician to lead los Blancos.
"I think he is a long-term coach, the perfect coach for Real Madrid," the Russia boss is quoted as saying byMARCA. "His style is working well with a great club that expects great football.

CHICHARITO HOPES TO STAY AT REAL MADRID, IS VERY HAPPY AT THE CLUB
Javier Hernandez says he has realised a dream by joining Real Madrid and is determined to prove he deserves to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Hernandez, 26, signed for the European champions on a season-long loan deal from Manchester United at the end of the summer transfer window.
And while the Mexico international is due to return to United at the end of the current campaign, he has hinted that he hopes to remain in the Spanish capital.
Hernandez, who has scored four goals in seven games for Madrid, also concedes he was surplus to requirements at United after they brought in Radamel Falcao on loan from Monaco.

And now, some truly hilarious transfer rumors:
Real Madrid step up their interest in David de Gea: HERE
(No, please. I like him in Manchester United. He's doing a great job and is the starting GK there.)
Hugo Lloris also on Madrid's radar: SOURCE DE JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY
(Loving these Iker replacement rumors.)
Arsenal consider Asier Illaramendi as an alternative to Sami Khedira: HERE
(Hmmm, I'd rather have Khedira with us because we need a DM like, now. Plus, there's an entire German contingent, including Bug Eyes, waiting to welcome him with open arms.)
And speaking of Khedira, practically every club still wants him: HERE
And here's a really wacky one: Madrid are looking at prodigiously buttocked Eden Hazard as a replacement for Mistress Headband Gareth Bale while fellow Welshman (no, not the Welsh Prince, he can stay forever at Arsenal) Ryan Giggs is apparently persuading him to come back to the Premier League, preferably to Old Trafford: HERE
(Nope. I'm quite certain that won't happen. Mou's not gonna give up Hazard, his protege to Real Madrid and Flo isn't gonna sell a player for whom he paid 100 million euros. It doesn't make sense.)
Some of this information, along with some non-Real Madrid transfer rumors has been posted over at ONTD-FB as well.
