Bloody hell boys some of you lot can't half talk up a player! I'd barely heard of the lad before we were in for him and now I'm bouncing off the walls as if we're signing prime Ronaldo

You are my kind of pessimist. I hope Daka is as brilliant as he seems, but I still have nightmares about Akinbiyi.🙄

Nah I'm not even being pessimistic. Genuinely don't follow much football outside of England anymore so know very little about this guy. Can't help but be excited just from the reaction on this thread lol

I second this… Musa got the same hype and how did that end?!.. give the lad a chance before we big him up and then get on his back when it doesn’t go to plan.

I'll give him one game to impress and if not he's finished in my eyes

Can I just say, living in Austria (as I do) and if you take an interest in Football, you would have heard of PD - very often.  I had never heard of Kante and Mahrez before they joined us.  PD will be a great success for us.

He needs to be a consistent 8/10 to win me over after reading this thread.

Mahrez scored 7 goals in his first 49 matches for us , he was by no means an instant success. Daka I'm sure will make a useful contribution but nobody should get carried away.

I know you probably also class Mahrez as a striker but for a Winger just settling into not only a new type of football but also a new way of life I’d say 7 in 49 isn’t actually a bad return... stats aside he was a breath of fresh air and a joy to watch when he signed

I won't get into semantics again , I get ganged up on, Daka has to adapt and I'm sure Rodgers will ease him in carefully. I am looking for 10-15 next season and that will be a a fine first season.

I do not recall Vardy being an instant success. PD is only 22 and in good hands with BR. He will be fine.

You could instantly see Mahrez’s ability if this guy is suppose to be class then we should see that quickly.

As someone who knows, what I would consider, a lot about current football, I’ve surprised myself with this one, as I genuinely know very little about him! I’ve just ‘heard the name’

 

Can someone who knows more about him, please give me a player in the top five leagues who Daka is equivalent to (past or present) just to build my excitement?

 

…Vardy?

…Torres?

…Manzukic?

….Shearer?

He has alot of attributes that Vardy has.

 

Pace, plays on the shoulder, can carry the ball, underrated finisher with both feet. Doesn't have the aggression of Vardy, but that isn't to his detriment.

 

He may need easing in, but even so I can see him getting 12-15 goals, the ball just ends up at his feet in the box, which is by no means a fluke.

 

Him and Iheanacho could be 1 hell of a partnership.

He is probably the best Vardy replacement we could ask for.

 

Extremely quick, plays on the shoulder, intelligent runs in behind, etc. Not sure if he’s as aggressive/tenacious with his press like Vardy when he was younger, but overall, his playstyle is perfect for us.

Hahaha! Great timing :D

 

One more thing I would add is that Daka seems like he’d be a great fit for the dressing room, which is something us fans often overlook. Having watched some of his interviews, he seems like a great bloke, always smiling, positive, very religious, humble but also determined to progress in his career. Reminds me of Ngolo & I could see him becoming a player that leads by example. Here’s a good interview with Enock Mwepu:

All of the above rolled into one, but better!

Musa wasn’t putting up anywhere near the same kind of numbers as Daka

 

Musa had 18 goals and 7 assists in 44 games

 

Daka has 34 goals and 12 assists in 42 games

So my mates wife is Zambian and he's tapped up the brother-in-law for info on Daka. Came back with this. 

 

Or in Nyanja tongue, "You can say 
"Ni wa nzelu maningi ku bola" translates he's a genius at football

 

Fair enough. He'll do.
