Izzy Brown

[forumwayseagull]

But saying it hasn't gone any further so far.

That sounds about right.. i.e. He needs to sign new deal at Chelsea first, so AN confirming interest etc makes sense and nothing further at this stage would be correct and is in line with other more detailed national reports.,

Anyone else feel like an emaciated dog who's just been thrown a bone? Probably all made up, but at least keeps our minds of the perceived transfer famine.

I can't help but comment on the grand irony that just a few days/hours ago our fans were suggesting that Huddersfield's signings were 'preparing for the Championship' and now we look like signing one of their loan players from last season that they didn't prioritise in getting themselves

You can't look at players in isolation. You have to consume what he would bring as part of a team and who he would be surrounded by. How the Manager intends to use someone as part of a team and a member of a squad. We obviously had no need of an Aaron Mooy or we would have made an effort to get him.

This is obviously more of the type of player that the Manager feels is needed to enhance the squad.

Genuine question. What have people seen of RLC that always makes them suggest him?

He's played 22 times since 2014 and I believe (based on some quick maths) 66 minutes in the prem last season. He hasn't gone out on loan.

So what have people been watching that I've missed?

I have to say I have only really seen him a few times for England u21s and he has been stand out

And to be the only young player they have that even really gets a sniff of being In the squad for them tells me all I need to know.

I'm interested in Audrey Tautou but it hasn't gone any further!

We tried to sign him .

Last week I said they're preparing for the Championship. I mean Tom Ince?!
Earlier today I said they're going down.

I wouldn't say that this thread is what you're suggesting it to be.
There seem to be a few pleased, a few indifferent and a few who don't think he's up to it.
Seems about right to me on any potential new signing.

You speak quite harshly in general about Ince, yet he had a better season than Brown did with a performing team around him. I struggle to imagine that Brown will end up anything above upper Championship quality, I even have some doubts of that. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I feel like I've watched enough games to make a decent judgement call.

It's fine to not care who they sign, to even to speak condescendingly about who they sign, so long as we have something better in the pipeline. I just found it amusing that this culminated in one of their former loanees that they seem to have passed up in favour of another.

Yep exactly. You can't deduce from any of the chatter that he'd be a "number one target", just part of an evolving squad. Good squads evolve. That's what's happened under Chris whereas, under Oscar and Sami, the squad regressed (due, presumably to the control exercised by D Burke).

I can't believe the number of people losing their shit over not doing "enough business" by 4 July. The squad picture is like a complicated jigsaw and either the last piece goes in around the end of the window or you try to pass off a picture missing a couple of pieces as ok. If your neighbours jigsaws are all missing more than 2 pieces, or they've put their pieces in wrongly, or bought a three piece Noddy jigsaw when everyone else has a 300 piece Monet reproduction or they've sacked the jigsaw owner after a couple of weeks then you're fine.

I was impressed with Izzy Brown last season. Great attitude too. Would fit in well and offers something different.

 

[Biscuit]

Always thought he was quite useful at Hudds and would be a good squad player for us. He is still very young and hopefully can fulfil some of his potential. Nowhere near the quality of player we need to keep us up though IMO.

 

[NooBHA]

We tried to sign him .

Ooooops

I must have missed that one

I may be wrong here, but i got the impression he was a bit of a mardy git, didn't he throw a massive strop when he was subbed in a match last season?

Brown's attitude seems to be a cut above that of Tom "Me Me ME" Ince.
Albeit though I watched him have a tantrum after being subbed somewhere.

 

[stss30]

Wouldn't be a bad back up option and given his age he wouldn't take up one of our squad places?

Tom Ince scored one less goal than AK last year and only played one less game. This idea that he's a total waste of money in the PL confuses me. Oh and he's scored 2 goals in the PL, 2 more than AK.



I prefer AK by miles, but to say he's not good enough is a bit weird.

Like you, I prefer AK by miles. Ince isn't good enough: as we'll see this season.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Can't argue with any of that.

I guess I'm just desperate for us to be in for a proven quality striker, Abraham and Brown aren't that however great the potential.

Huddersfield didn't play him as a striker did they?,,,having said that described as winger/striker..oh well

Nixonator's not going to be happy with this reply

Indeed, I particularly enjoyed his great attitude when he had a hissy fit at coming off. That rings a bell.

I'm with you all the way on this Icy. Brown isn't even a striker, let alone a proven quality one. We do need (at least) one of those, but Brown will do me just fine as back up for Gross.
