Leeds want Isidor


Horses for courses. Unless we are going to change our style of play he won't get a regular starting spot with us other then in emergencies or cup ties.

We don't play on the front foot much and we need a centre forward who can hold the ball up. With Wilson it has a tendency to bounce straight back at us when we are under pressure. Could do OK elsewhere, though doubt he'll ever tear the league up regardless.

Still these days we should get at least 20 million if it is another premier league team..going rate for even bench warmers with potential
 
Obviously I like the lad but there is something in his character/make-up that stops him from make the most of his talent. Last year in the Championship he played over 40 games got 12 goals and was decent. However, I always felt that once he had scored a goal he subconciously thought he'd done his bit and switched off a bit. He never went on to get two goals in a game. I wonder if he ever has. Sometimes this year when he was brought on as sub or when he started in the cup he seemed to be as effective as Mason Burstow and seemed to be sulking. But then he goes and scores that great goal against Villa and reminded me that he is in a different universe to Mason Burstow. At the age of 25 I get the impression that will be the narrative for his career - great talent, some great goals but long periods of frustration. If we are to ever get top dollar now would be the time to cash in. I'd be sad to see him go but equally I would think it would be the right thing to do.

We don’t play to his strengths if he finds a team that do I think he could get double figures at this level which isn’t a bad return at all.

Would rather sell him to a foreign team if he moves on.

How don’t we didn’t we have like 2 one on ones ? We have loads of people put through when le feels plays central
 
I'd love it if reggie has a plan to have more strings to our bow next season and can have the option of a set up that works to his strengths against certain opposition or in certain "game states".

Its been pretty backs to the wall stuff this season and we've done pretty well with it until recently but we need to have options that give opposition more to think about next season.

Biggest challenge for him is competing with mayenda i think as is suspect the club will see more value in bringing him on if we need someone to break the lines.

I'll always think fondly of him but I'm not convinced he's a Premier League striker. He needs too much time and space for this league.

Tends to score very memorable goals - late winners / equalisers or aesthetically pleasing finishes - but 17 goals in 73 games tells its own story.

When le fee plays central ….answered your own question, he hasn’t done that very often this season.

Often our build up play this season has been more considered and doesn’t regularly look to exploit space in behind defences….your point about le fee is a good one though, he is clearly better through the middle and is more influential in that area

Did you not see the highlights? I think it was the Villa game the other week. We scored 3 great goals from virtually every area.You are the one who needs to give his faulty head a shake if you think I was implying I want the result. I only remember the goals we scored and I was very impressed with the quality of them. But then I’m used to this place twisting what I say. No change there then.

You need to remember the 4 yes 4! We let in. No use scoring 3 if we come away from the game with sod all.

He'd suit Villa but again he'd be second/third fiddle at these types of clubs.

Personally think he'd be suited to moving back to a European league.

Yeah I don’t think he would be a starter for many PL clubs unless one of the 3 coming up fancy him. Think he’d need to move abroad or to the championship to be a regular starter

We have had a shit loads of chances with people going through on the keeper it’s not true saying isador doesn’t get the right service he didn’t in the championship we have much better footballers now , I was disappointed he never come on against Man Utd as he’s looked really sharp recently
