Isidor

Love him to stay. Offers something a bit different to Brobbey and the way he opened himself up for his finish yesterday was class.

Little sister took this pic yesterday.

Agree, but he's different though, and in a way that works for us right now.

If Brobbey could finish like Isidor, or Isidor had the hold up play of Brobbey, it'd be class.

A completely different player then

 

[wigwams]

This. Never going to happen unfortunately.

Would mean changing how we play entirely, and what we do has been pretty successful

 

[Nedved]

We can dream! KLD needs to invest in a Dr Frankenstein to sew them together.

I do think Isidor is getting better at hold up play and getting more involved in the game than he has at times earlier this season or last.

 

[TikaTakaTico]

He had plenty opportunities earlier in the season.

He did and scored quite a few. He has a better minutes per goal ratio than Brobbey.

Exactly, people bang on about Brobbey but he's not exactly far better than Isidor.

Two players with very different strengths.

Brobbey is an obviously physically strong player who can easily hold off the best defenders and lay the ball off to another player -- but he's also got an amazing finish and eye for goal.

Isidor is a natural striker -- same eye for goal -- who can elude defenders and finish with ease.

Don't see why we'd let the latter go for anything but funny money.

You're forgetting some of Brobbey's finishes, mate. Pure class.

I like him and think he has a part to play. The only player I'd back one to one with the keeper.

Unless it's a penalty!

Aye, a bit unorthodox but some good finishes.

I still reckon Isidor is the more natural finisher though. He's got that calmness where he makes it look so languid and easy. His Boro finish was one of my favourites last season, class goal.

In the right team, with a system that plays to his strengths, Isidor gets 10+ Prem goals a season surely. He's got 6 now for us and has barely played for huge parts of the season.

Haway man.

Nee way anybody is going to pay anywhere near £20m for a Sunderland reserve with 6 Premier League goals.

Love him but...

Why’s that then he’s only one behind our first choice striker who people are going mad over

He's not good enough for the level we are aspiring to be at.

We need to move on from this calibre of player. Brobbey is miles ahead of him.

I don’t agree, yes Brobby is better at holding the ball up but he doesnt have isadors pace or finishing ability
Thing is aswel he’s always getting in good positions to score even with only 20 mins of a game

As I say, I love him and want to keep him but nobody is going to pay over £20m for him.

That’s peanuts I think they will no problem he’s got good stats

Can't see it, marra but I hope he stays anyway.

 

[ajthemackem]

The way he scored that goal surprised me mind. I've always thought the less time he had to think, the better he was.
Sublime finish. Couldn't have put it anywhere better.

 

[wisemensaysteve]

People saying he wants to be away, where’s the evidence?

His celebration at the weekend made me think he was saying goodbye.

 

[KittenMittens]

I love him. Best natural finisher in the side, composed, finishes a lot of chances. Disagree that he's better without time to think either, remember the Boro goal, the Cov playoff goal, West Ham goal etc. Even with time he just has a knack for putting it in good areas and getting it on target. Can't think of many that miss the goal entirely? Feeding off relatively little too.

True, I think when I look back at his one on ones that it clouds my judgement. I think I should have said "instinctual".

If its true that his fam dont live in Sunlun then maybe its their lass.
Done not bad for a winger converted to CF

Bloody good point actually.

 

[craigypants]

Isidor a natural finsher? Not in my opinion. His goalsoring record says he's a scorer of great goals not a goalscorer. Calvert Lewin at Leeds is far more a predator. Isidor and Brobbey don't have that knack. I think we should sign someone who is more a fox in the box.

He's not instinctual, aye. But he knows where the sticks are.
