He's obviously a bit of a wally and a massive waste of talent but he always seems like a nice guy in interviews. I'm going to believe he's our saviour all the way until he falls over the ball with his first touch back.
It's time to bring out the Baileys so it is clearly time for Isaac to return,look promising for thirty seconds and then fail dismally.
There's a new salted caramel flavour of Baileys out now. And at the same time Success is fit and raring to go. Coincidence? I think not.
The missing piece in the puzzle or is he going to let us down again? I liked his recent piece on the watford site, maybe he finally has come round to the idea of actually playing football for us. In the championship with his size and pace (if he still has it at 24) he has characteristics that should be useful. However you have to wonder if he has the brain or appetite to be a football, or if he really just wants to live the footballers lifestyle. I am prepared to give him one more chance to show what he has got, but thats it Isaac.
Not sure whether to comment on this thread, the one in the Transfer List section or the one in the Team Bus...
Id like to see him be a football for the game tomorrow. If we could get away with disguising him as the ball itself then we could sneakily get him to keep running into the opposition goal. Just a thought
He’s the perfect symbol for the generally hopeless recruitment of the last few years, a total waste of space and that there are some people clinging their hopes on him making any sort of impact on our season highlights really the depths to which we have plummeted.
Doesn't matter. Even when he showed form worthy enough of keeping his place previously he was dropped for Deeney. Nothing has changed at the club. Deeney starts.
TBF he’s never really had a proper run of games to see; year after year TD has been undroppable and young forwards can’t be motivated by it. JP the latest to bench warm. That said its probably too late, its years wasted without gaining playing time or experience. Why in gods name he was never loaned to the champ or L1 in previous seasons I will never know.
Give him a shot from the bench, as a late Deeney replacement, maybe 15/20 mins to start with and take it from there.
I've already mentioned this in my whimsical picture posting and discussion with Burnsy, but I do suspect that the reality is that we are not about to spend any money at all on a striker in January, as much as we need/would like to, so having another option of any description is something that we really can't turn our noses up at. It's essentially a battle purely between ability and application - we know he has the skills, because we have seen them on very rare occasion, such as in the Spurs cup game I mentioned previously, and that Prem Boro performance where he destroyed their right back Barragan to the point that he got him sent off (except he wasn't sent off, because the ref was a coward who refused to hand out a second yellow for a clear second yellow challenge, about the 17th he'd made that afternoon, allowing Boro to sneak him off in a substitution immediately afterwards as they were exactly as aware as everyone else watching what was being done to him). What we have never seen is him play in the Championship; as others have alluded to, his size, speed and ability to use his physicality are all suited to the league, and all things that may well mean that he finds it a lot easier than any previous competition he has played in. Even if he's astonishingly unlikely to be any kind of long-term striking answer for us should we get back up, he may not need to be to help us get there, and he may be encouraged in the attempt by what he finds he is able to do down here in the swamp. Weigh all that up against the likelihood of him remaining professional/bothered for two weeks on the trot, of course.
There are a lot of question marks over this guy. Like a lot of our players, they are big on promoting how do they are, and how determined etc, only for the reality to be very disappointing. He has all the attributes to be good, but spends most of his time falling over which is a real problem. For a big strong boy, he's very easy to put on the floor. But he'll be another option, although I don't see him as improving what we already have unfortunately.
He's a boss on my Fifa 21 career. I'm up to season 6 and he's still banging them in. But, alas, this is pure fiction. I also have Pusseto playing decent in the reserves and sold Hughes to Villarreal for £60 million. It's nice to be happy;
If he trains hard, he deserves a chance. He has the skills to make an impact in the championship. But so does Perica, who is clearly our best striker at the moment and he doesn't get a shot.
He's not really had a proper chance and I'm not 100% he's had the assistance he needed to acclimatise initially. We have Gray Deeney & Perica plus a couple that can play up front. There's room for him in the squad we're paying him anyway so why not.
Some of his (few) decent performances have come as a second-striker, or on the left of a front three, so he could also potentially play alongside say Perica, while rotating with Sema, JP and Cleverley.
As futile as it may seem , I still hold out some hope he could storm the championship . Clearly he has everything he needs to be good enough . He will probably be ***** though
He is technically our best forward. Success has all of the attributes to be a good player and a real asset in a championship team. He will probably disappoint again but we aren't going to buy a forward and the others are useless so what have we got to lose, he may just click this time.
And pigs might fly, but I wouldn't bet on it Although I would gladly eat my words if he did suddenly live up to his early potential and it would be nice if some of our other current dead weights suddenly clicked into life as well, even if it is only a purple patch for the rest of the season. That way if any of them managed to do that, we would possibly gain a double whammy from them. We would get a decent player, which would be like a new signing to help us get promoted, and also a decent chance of conning someone to take them off our hands for a decent price at the end of the season.
Could become our regular striker at this level if we're happy to return to the days of just about hanging onto our place in the championship year on year.
And Juan Manuel Jurado was 'technically' our most gifted midfielder during our first season in the prem. Except he wasn't. He was utter ****. Just like Success. Deeney isn't the answer. Neither is Gray. And neither is Success.
Had all the attributes to become a really top player. But as soon as he got his bank account full of cash, he lost his passion for footie and decided to starting smashing whores and partying
