The one thing that's definitely accurate is that Salzburg win the league every year. Fair enough he's not the complete package but his composure and his work rate relative to Vardy are not the first criticisms that spring to mind, nor do I think they're backed up by any evidence. I must have missed his loan in January, how did he do? I got the loan bit wrong, hands up. I believe his work rate is ok but not comparable to Vardy and composure for me is quite poor.

Peak Vardy maybe, but expecting anyone to replicate that is setting themselves up for disappointment and Daka statistically gets through more defensive work than current Vardy by a fair margin. As for composure, if we're talking in front of goal his conversion rate stacks up with basically any elite forward you care to think of - better than Haaland, Benzema, Salah, Mbappe and Lewandowski. Of course, none of that is definitive proof that he is or will come to be a great signing, but they strike me as odd things to single out as weaknesses and I'm surprised you feel you've seen enough of him to consider your initial assessment proven correct.

Fazzer 7 Posted 8 August 2022 Posted 8 August 2022 Is this lad really going to cut the mustard. I’m not convinced
moore_94 Posted 8 August 2022 Posted 8 August 2022 People digging him out after 20 minutes in the first game of the season where even Vardy didn't get to have a single shot in 90 minutes 1

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 8 August 2022 Posted 8 August 2022 That bloke a few posts back has jumped the gun for sure. That said DAKA is living off potential at the moment that's for sure because he's shown next to **** all since he arrived at City I do think if he hadn't come so highly rated he'd have been written off by many more already. He's going to have to start showing major signs of improvement and fast, before fans turn. 1
StonyFox Posted 8 August 2022 Posted 8 August 2022 For me he lacks the technical ability to be involved in the build-up play, which is why I always thought it was an odd signing as I don't think it suits the style Brendan wants to play. He can clearly finish when given the chance, but if he has the ball outwide with a defender in front of him, he hasn't got a clue what to do. But then he doesn't get many starting opportunities as he's second choice behind vardy.
foxinsocks Posted 8 August 2022 Posted 8 August 2022 Daka should start.. vardy the impact sub when the game is stretched 1

Soumare probably deserves another season, but he's been poor in all but one or two games. Vestegaard doesn't suit our football style at all, is on a huge wage, and has again looked poor except one or two games. Have you ever heard an interview with him? Lol his English is excellent - probably better than most on here!

SheppyFox Posted 8 August 2022 Posted 8 August 2022 @Countesthorpe Fox 1884 12 I assume you were ridiculed for that post when it was originally made, and have been patiently lurking in the shadows, awaiting the perfect moment to lay the smack down.. to remind all those pesky ft posters how right you were then and how right you are now?

Sampson Posted 8 August 2022 Posted 8 August 2022 4 hours ago, foxinsocks said: Daka should start.. vardy the impact sub when the game is stretched Did you see how much better and how much more often we both scored and won last season with Vardy over Daka? Daka’s time will come but Vardy is still a level above Daka and Vardy should still be playing every game he’s fit enough for.
KFS Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 Imagine if he connected with that overheard kick attempt on the weekend
volpeazzurro Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 Daka will fly once we get a manager who knows how to get the best out of him and plays him to his strengths. If he's not left by then!

My point is he scores more in the second half Edited 9 August 2022 by foxinsocks
funkyrobot Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 Daka is more peripheral to general play than Vardy. To remove a midfielder and play him AND Vardy together when we were losing control of midfield was madness from Brendan against Brentford.

Stuntman_Mike Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 He still needs to learn how to use his body to draw fouls or to maintain possession. He just gets out muscled too much and the ball doesn't stick when he come looking for it. He's fine making runs, he just doesn't get enough game time or service.
mod hero Posted 14 August 2022 Posted 14 August 2022 Shits himself everytime he gets the ball, never seen him complete a dribble. 1 1
