Quite a coincidence that they've got the same middle name Patrick 'he'll be like a new signing' Bamford Izzy 'he'll be like a new signing' Brown
And then he’ll likely hobble off after ten minutes having pulled something else. Boro must be having a good laugh getting 7m for him
Not convinced about Brown being this top player,seen him a few times at u23 and he has a way to go for the 1st team on what I've seen.
If he remains injury free, it might be handy having him ready for the last 6 games of the season. We’ve played great, we’ve had some luck, it’s one of those strange seasons which could still have another twist and a sting... Imagine Pablo getting injured 6 games to go, Izzy comes in and his goals win the title for us, it could happen, it’s just heading towards being that type of a season.
I saw him yesterday and he does not look sharp enough yet. Maybe the injury is at the back of his mind still.
He’ll be fine by May and rearing to go for his summer holidays. In July then someone else will no doubt take a punt on him
Didnt see him play for Huddersfield so cant compare, but I've seen him play 4 times now and the last 3 even though he scores goals, you cant say he's busting a gut. I think he maybe looks a lazy player who isnt if that makes sense, but I have yet to see him play high tempo as he would need to in the first team. I think he aint ready but will leave it to Bielsa. You do have to say though that Chelsea should pay us for allowing him to have rehab and working holiday
Personally I’ll be disappointed, looking forward to Izzy playing and turning out to be a superstar has been keeping me going
