Now it's Isaak's turn...

[Cowbridge Blue]

I can't see that anyone else has posted that, following the report of Ronan Kpakio signing a new, extended contract, the club has seen the light and done the same for Isaak Davies:-

It will keep Isaak at the club until 2029 and I, for one, am really pleased about it. I think there's much more to come from him.

The club certainly seems to believe they've got to hold on to these boys

4 years is a long contract, they must have plans for him. I just checked and he's 24 in a couple of days, i thought he was only around 20.

He's quick and tough with a low centre of gravity.

Staying healthy is his only concern

I think hes a striker not a winger and I hope we see him central soon.

I think the same he could be a class act

Yes, but what type of striker? He's off the shoulder, movement, short bursts, i can see why managers put him out wide allowing him to come inside. I can't remember any of his goals, but it would be interesting to see them all in reference to how he plays in the final third.

Re: Now it's Isaak's turn...

There's no way he's a striker in today's interpretation of the position, 25 years ago he'd have been brilliant playing as the little pacy one in a two man partnership. In today's game as a lone striker whose job is to make the ball stick, no chance. Even Salech has has had issues adapting to the attention from League 1 center backs and referees.

At best he'll be an option there when we are chasing the game and throwing men forward. He's a winger/inside forward/whatever you call it in today's game.

Jarrod Bowen?

Re: Now it's Isaak's turn...

Jarrod Bowen?

Has played 255 career games as a right winger and 67 as a striker according to Transfermarkt, a quick glance at the two he started as a striker in the Prem this year came alongside an out and out striker in Fullkrug, and West Ham lost 3-0 and 5-1.

Maybe I should have said he's never a striker in a system like BBM's instead of such a general statement, but I think it holds.

I think he’s arguably the best finisher at the club.

His first team goals contain examples of him getting accurate shots away while moving at pace. I can’t think of anyone else capable of doing that consistently in a squad which showed again on Saturday that its collective finishing technique is not very good.

Re: Now it's Isaak's turn...

I haven't previously noticed before this season but I've been impressed with his corner delivery too recently. Anyone else thought that?

Re: Now it's Isaak's turn...

I'm sure he played more centrally when on loan at Kortrijk and scored a decent couple of goals there. I could be remembering this wrong but when he played as a striker lots of the goals came through the middle where he could utilise his pace (quite a few high defensive lines in the games I watched in Belgium). I dont know how he would fair as a central striker in league 1, particularly as we seem to prefer to play it out wide when going forward. I do rate him though and agree he's one of the better finishers at the club. I'm glad he's signed a new contract

Yes. To be fair to Chambers he actually made some good runs towards the near post and put in some decent headers from Isaaks corners.
