los dedos Posted 6 July 2021 Posted 6 July 2021 Surely he's got to be here by now . As his team mate just signed for Brighton and they've only just announced it today !
AjcW Posted 6 July 2021 Posted 6 July 2021 Not suggesting we'd just sign someone for the sake of it/helping someone settle, but Brighton do transfers in a very similar way to us, and he's clearly no slouch for £18m.... oh and he's a RW.....

Please no Have you forgotten Jahanbaksh, the winger Brighton signed for £22m, who we were also linked with? Ghezzal who we went for instead was a bargain in comparison.

Collymore Posted 6 July 2021 Posted 6 July 2021 How fast is Daka I wonder? Vardy in his prime fast? Barnes fast? Ricardo fast? Heard a lot mentioned about his pace but wonder how it will translate in the Premier League...

Not quite as fast, but apparently in the CL, his fastest sprint was 32.8 km/h, whereas Vardy's fastest recorded sprint for us was 35.44 km/h. 1

Early in the 2015/16 season some stats came out that in the season so far Leicester players (Vardy, Schlupp and Albrighton) had the top 3 fastest sprint speeds. Vardy was in the top 5 twice. One other Leicester player made the top 10... Wes Morgan. It's hard to put too much stock in the accuracy of sprint speed stats after seeing things like that Edited 7 July 2021 by Xen

Exactly - so even if they were accurate the 'top speed' stats are generally useless as they don't showcase acceleration all that well, which is arguably the far more important stat. Even then, though, I'm not buying that Morgan had a faster top speed than the likes of Walker, Walcott, etc in 2015. Not a chance. Back to Daka - and I don't think we need to be worried. Even in the lower-tier leagues opposition players can still be rapid, yet the highlight reels often show him with a burst of pace and making runs onto passes which most players would never reach. Good poacher's instinct as well, so I can see him playing similarly to how Vardy has done for us in previous seasons.

Twitcher Posted 8 July 2021 Posted 8 July 2021 Not read the thread, but what's the reason he doesn't appear in the completed signings on the BBC website?
