Administrator Stan Posted June 17, 2021 Administrator Posted June 17, 2021 Usually Arsenal would be in for this kind of signing. Shows how much their stature has dropped they're not even in contention.

Dr. Gonzo Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 I'd seen somewhere that we'd been linked with him as well, so it's a bit disappointing to see another club in the league looking likely they'll get him.
Storts Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Leicester are doing everything we should be. We are a disgrace. Great signing if they pull it off

Rick Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Annoyingly good signings from Leicester so far. Daka is somebody we should have been all over. How old are we going to let our front three get before we start to seriously look at the future. All three are nearly 30, and both Firmino & Mane have started to regress a bit. Hopefully we pull stuff out the bag later in the window, but it’s a bit annoying seeing players pass us by.

Hopefully we pull stuff out the bag later in the window, but it’s a bit annoying seeing players pass us by. Liverpool have been better served letting these sorts of players go to teams a step or two below to see if they can cut it first. And this fella wouldn't be getting ahead of any of them or Jota next season. Yeah it will cost them more if they did sign him from Leicester in the future but it means a higher success rate rather than a Minamino situation. You say they're nearly 30 like it's old. I'd expect Salah, maybe Mane to still be at a similar level in 3/4 years time given the way they look after themselves
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 18, 2021 Author Subscriber Posted June 18, 2021 I'd be lying if I've seen loads of him play but I think the kind of teams after a player is usually a bit of a giveaway. I pinned Daka as a potential Vardy successor a while ago but during that time thought he'd become a bit out of reach and there'd be someone bigger coming in. The fact we might get him is not only a brilliant coup as I feel we've virtually signed one of the very few players who might be as good as Vardy, that would actually come here, but it really does signal that we're not going away any time soon. Maybe it's premature to say this, it's not done yet, but Romano saying done deal is usually as good as.
nudge Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Think he would be better off if he stayed at Salzburg for one more season, at least. In terms of missed chances, he should be a great competition for Werner
Administrator Stan Posted June 26, 2021 Administrator Posted June 26, 2021 Daka has confirmed he is coming to us.
Chaaay AFC Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Daka and Soumare for around £45-50m is more great business form Leicester if they pull it off. Both very highly rated, Salzburg do produce a lot of top talent Daka seems to have a lot of upside.
Dave Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 May aswell sign whoever his replacement is to save a lot of money.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 30, 2021 Author Subscriber Posted June 30, 2021 Lovely signing. Have full confidence he'll be a success.

In terms of missed chances, he should be a great competition for Werner Tbf if Iheanacho is any indication it’s that Rodgers and Leicester are willing to be patient to develop promising young players and can put up with them looking dogshit (because Iheanacho looked awful tbh) while they get time and don’t perform. And then this season Iheanacho proved to be quite a handy player for them. I think it’s a good move for them. He’s got a lot of potential, they’re pretty decent at nurturing young talent, and there’s always a chance he just clicks at Leicester and starts performing right away.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 30, 2021 Author Subscriber Posted June 30, 2021 He'll rotate with Vardy I think. Vardy's finally slowed down a bit. He still hit a respectable number but there were a lot of penalties involved, and he had a pretty bad second half of the season for the most part. Daka coming in should allow us to rest Vardy without any worry, and I think it's quite plausible Vardy becomes the second choice of the two quite soon, if Daka's as good as many believe.

Will be interesting to see how he does, I'm personally not convinced, as it's quite a huge step up from the Austrian league. While he scored loads there last season, his finishing could be very frustrating at times, and he will surely not be given as many scoring chances in England as he was in Austria while playing for by far the best team in the league. His performances in CL/EL were fairly disappointing too. Hope he does well though, he's a likable character.

I mean seeing Minamino with us really highlighted how big of a gap there is between our league and Salzberg. I know he had some good games at Southampton, but I don't think he was really very consistent. I still think he's a good player, but I can see what you mean just from that example. But I think Leicester will bed him in slowly and he might not be an immediate hit (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a season or two for him to click) and I think eventually he'll be a good player in the prem.
