[REPORTED] Issac Success

http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23111

Not sure about whether I would like this or not, as personally I have never quite understood the hype about him. Having said that, he is still young and has WM perhaps stifled his potential?

On balance the new boss should probably be given the chance to assess him and decide on what to do.

 

We seriously need to show faith in the younger talent we sign. This constant revolving conveyor belt of a transfer system we seem to operate is fine for more senior players, but the danger is the less experienced ones get moved on too fast (I know the article doesn't actually say Success is leaving). They need time and patience, and hopefully next season some way better coaching and encouragement too. Otherwise why would the future likes of Success, Penaranda, Sinclair etc ever consider joining us? We could even had lost Doucoure back in January.

 

I expect that is what will happen, ditto for most of the others

 

Sounds like Isaac and his agent are negotiating a contract renewal.

 

Sounds like good news. Get the last elements of excitement out of the team. We need a teamful of Amrabats and Jurados.

That's the trick.

 

I hope you're right. He needs a consistent run in the team. Maybe a new forward thinking manager will give him the chance he needs.

 

Doucoure is the example. He wouldn't of even got a game without our injury list. No doubt the most consistent player we've had since Jan.

 

Wouldn't worry. I've heard the source is a bit Ifi.

 

Think it would be a real shame to let him go. The potential he showed earlier in the season suggests he could become a very good player, and it's clear that the further the season went on, his relationship with Wally deteriorated (he wasn't alone, was he?!)

With the right coach in charge, and a formation that allows him minimal defensive duties, I reckon he'll do well.

 

Would be an absolutely ridiculous decision to let him go already unless his attitude is completely and utterly horrendous.

If we sell him and Niang goes too then that's two strikers and three wingers we'll need.

 

A few observations:

This sounds like a classic case of "Agentstiringitis" which usually surfaces in early summer and mid winter.

West Ham have been linked with every player on the planet bar Wilf Mannion and Lionel Messi. Palace aren't too far behind.

Seems to go against that tried and tested "Watford Bingo" favourite of doesn't fit the Pozzo way of buying young and selling on for a profit.

 

£30mil or no sale

 

Swap deal for Pickford

 

There could be something in the West Ham United interest. They have a very wealthy Nigerian fan.

There is an existing Watford link behind this Nigerian oil rich businessman and football nut, Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah. The guy is a big cheese in the Nigerian FA, owns a Nigerian club he has renamed after himself, and whose goalkeeper was in the Nigerian national squad that Success got a game for at Barnet FC earlier in the year> This when WFC said Isaac was not playing as he was not fully fit (!).

So IF Isaac Success is pissed off that he's being badly treated at Watford, this guy might be his saviour and pushing for him to get of of Vicarage Road.

So he's certainly helped Odion Ighalo and was pictured with him at an event in London when Odion was hot property. So the Dr Ubah loves publicity and self promotion.

So the Nigerians who have invested in West Ham and promote all their countrymen may have big ideas that Isaac Success should go to another team, one that they are already invested in (or could bankroll) to get Isaac game time to help the Nigerian national side and their profile in the EPL and Europe.

The bloke seems rich enough to bank roll a move for Isaac Success from his wealth, which as he controls 40% of Nigerian Oil will no doubt put in the shade any wealth the Pozzo family or even the Gold family have.

Although Ubah was locked up this week in an ongoing dispute about business and political influence of his oil company as the political situation in Nigeria is, er, very political and delicate, and that may put the mockers on things!

 

Nice bit of background, thanks.

I don't reckon we will let him go. He's currently far from the saviour many were labelling him, but harness his skill and he could be a world beater in a couple of years time.

 

Interesting thank you WW.

This gentleman has all the credentials to work well with the WHU board then,judging by your last paragraph!

 

Don't sell unless a huge bid comes in, especially with Niang possibly not returning and Amrabat getting worse by the week. Hes young with plenty of potential and was barely given a chance last season. A more forward thinking manager would probably appreciate his abilities more than Mazzarri does.

As it is we're short in the forward/wing department already. If we lose our only 2 exciting wingers it's just a bigger battle for next season. Deeney, okaka and zarate could be our only forward options

 

Looks the best prospect on our books still, though how his form dropped since coming back from injury was a worry. I hope we keep him and he can keep progressing.

 

Success has not been given any run in the side. The mystery is his fitness/ stamina which Mazzari always cites as a reason for him not getting game time. If he does leave Gino will want serious money 18 plus million pounds cash and a 30 per cent sell on fee with various international appearance add ons. This might put wet spam off as the risk would be transferred to the buying club. I dearly want to see Success getting regular time on the pitch, but he can certainly go if his head's been turned. This is the real damage caused when coaches make poor decisions during the season COYHs

 

This story is entirely made up.

 

Hasn't been the same since he shaved his head.

 

wet spam spend big money on an unknown who cant get in our team and has barely a handful of appearances under his belt?

Lol

Pull the other one it has bells on it

 

Why has Success not been in the last two match day squads? I have not seen anything about him being injured or why he has not played, have I missed something?

 

Shaved his head so Walter thinks he's Doucoure.

 

Thete are stories that he refused to come on as a sub after WM put others on before him. So he has been dripped and that is why these transfer stories are surfacing.
Hopefully next season he will have a fresh start with us.

 

'There' & 'dropped'

Next to the delete and report buttons. Or not in the case of some users.

 

You're the policeman from Allo Allo and I claim my £5

 

Leicester fans reported hearing Maz say 'You're finished here," in perfect English to Isaac

 

Not sure how I feel about Success.

He looked great in the first half of the season, but almost every time he has come on as a sub in the last few months he has been pretty crap IMO. Perhaps he is adjusting to life in the PL, but his constant selfies and stories on Instagram don't really sit well with me to be honest. It gives me the impression that he's a bit of a primadonna. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

Maybe in the first half of the season he still had some match fitness from getting games at Grenada, after that he lost his match fitness, due to Walter never playing him, re the selfies, maybe Photography was the hobby he took up to fill his wasted time.

 

W.M clearly felt that Rene Gilmartin offered something different as a potential impact player from the bench.
