Guest SO1 Posted 17 June 2021 Posted 17 June 2021 This has been in the red all day. Is this actually happening? Or is this optimism from the Telegraph article this morning. Percy?
Sly Posted 17 June 2021 Posted 17 June 2021 7 minutes ago, JamesfromlondonLCFC said: his stats are way better than Mane's at salzburg in terms of goal. and 27 goals in 28 games isnt off the charts for you? This is a calculated gamble, we do however need some perspective on the standard of the league. Haaland was 29 goals in 27 games. Phenomenal talent and clearly unique. Koita (currently banned) is 28 goals in 51 games. Mane was 45 goals in 87 games. Daka is 68 goals in 125 games for Salzburg. To quote the 27 in 28 is like quoting a sample of Nachos last 6 months. Dabbur was 72 in 128 games. He hasn’t set the world alight since leaving. I wouldn’t say Daka is way better than Mane. This is a calculated gamble, hence why the fee is fairly low. Let’s see how this plays out.

I think we have developed a reputation for bringing on young talent and helping them explode onto the scene. Even more so then they already are. we’re the english dortmund aren’t we. MASSIVE 1

Dortmund didn’t pay that much for haaland… you say it is like a sample… but the 27 in 28 was a whole season, add in the season before too then… 24 in 31… so in two seasons in the league he scored 51 in 59 games, those are great stats Edited 17 June 2021 by foxes_rule1978 1

People shouldn’t expect him to score 20+ goals for us next season. I still like the signing and prefer it to Eduardo, don’t get me wrong.

Let’s see how this plays out. sure 68 in 125 is less impressive. however its not like i was quoting half a seasons worth of stats. thats a whole season. however, his stats last season were elite also, with 24 in 31. counting the games he played when he was in his teens as evidence of his ability seems a bit disingenuous, especially as with age he has become consistently outstanding. of course there is risk. there is always risk with any signing, especially one from a weaker league, but there is definitely less risk with this one than with most 1

Exactly, you’d like to think it’s largely recoupable if it doesn’t work. Some interesting players have come through Salzburg though. Jonathan Soriano - 172 goals in 202 games. Absolute pony in every other league he’s been in
Dandy king Posted 17 June 2021 Posted 17 June 2021 Hello mates. Don't expect any of you know anything, but it really looks like we're going big this year no? Lots of good rumours. Happy with at least half of them as actual signings, this guy looks mustard also

Absolute pony in every other league he’s been in The fact is there is a reason this lad is being heavily talked about rather than a player released by Barcelona in his 20’s. There is more similarities to haaland, in terms of how he is thought of, than the players you keep trying to bring up. I can’t personally say he will be great, but my god there is a lot of people that seem to think he is a top talent . Edited 17 June 2021 by foxes_rule1978 1
Popular Post KingsleyPhiri Posted 17 June 2021 Popular Post Posted 17 June 2021 https://zambianfootball.co.zm/game-is-the-reason-why-patson-daka-settled-for-leicester-city/zfadmin/ Zambian forward Patson Daka,21 have opted to join English Premier League side Leicester City because they guarantee him game time, the ZamFoot Crew can exclusively reveal. According to the ZamFoot Crew sources, Daka’s handlers held talks with a host of English teams including West Ham and Liverpool about a possible deal but it was Leicester who offered the much-needed game time. “Yes, talks with several various clubs which have been mentioned were held but his handlers made it clear that he was only to join a club which was going to offer him game time,” a ZamFoot Crew source said. “For instance one of the big clubs held talks with his people and both sides were honest with each other. “The club were eager to sign him but didn’t see him as a first-choice center forward. They wanted him to start as a fringe player. But his management didn’t agree with that proposal.” With that background, it was agreed that King Power Stadium was the right destination for the Kafue native. 4 5

Again, think this would be a great signing. I just feel like a little perspective wouldn’t be a bad thing, as well as realistic expectations. Edited 17 June 2021 by Deeg67 1
