Patson Daka

[SouthStandUpperTier]

You'd have to question whether any of our 3 current strikers will be here next season with Vardy and Iheanacho out of contract and Daka out of favour. Lots for Maresca, Glover and Rudkin to think about. Going to be interesting seeing what the club do here.

[Harry96]

Let him go

[MGLCFC]

This could be another Krameric situation. We sell him for much less than what we bought him for, he then bangs in goals for fun. I wonder if a season long loan somewhere might help him regain his confidence? The big problem I foresee with Daka is that he hasn't the tools to play the role Maresca wants him to and obviously if that's the case, he probably needs to move on for his own development.

I know what you mean, but there's near endless factors that contribute to whether or not a player is successful at any given club which mean that anyone half decent can be doggo at one club and look like an entirely different player at another. 

 

Kramaric was fine for us but was obviously moved on because it wasn't working out at City for whatever reason. The football people know. I rather suspect this will be the case with Daka too. It just hasn't really worked here and that's fine. You can make the argument that neither were given a proper run to prove themselves, but there's obviously more to it. It happens.

But if we were signing him from everton now, having had the two years there he’s just had with us I doubt many on here would be too happy.

[Tuna]

Get him out, get someone else in who fits our stye of play.

He’s prolific on their attacking scale ….

[Ian Nacho]

I don’t really know how to explain it but he is the striker version of Ndidi. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

I actually think if he is played in a counter attacking system where we can operate on the shoulder of the last defender, use his pace and play on instinct rather than we be asked to play as a link and be expected to hold the ball and bring others into play, he can still be a success, it’s just not going to be with us. 
 

He was definitely the replacement for Vardy, the problem is, we had moved on in our playing style where we no longer required a striker with that skill set. Pace is always useful but with our playing style that is redundant if you are not comfortable in possession. 
 

I would not be surprised if he joins Everton if he doesn’t do reasonably well, I cannot see him

turning this around here, so it’s about cutting our losses, getting as much of a return as possible and reinvesting in a striker who fits our style of play. 

[HarryDee8]

Might be too late for this transfer window but in January if they don't play, then pls pls sell and bring in someone more suited

 

Feel sorry for him, reminds me of the Musa situation

Totally agree with you MG this “ WILL” bite us on the arse if we sell him we need to keep the lad he’s young fit and very quick, he just needs that confidence in his abilities and scoring built back up and I’m hoping Enzo can do the job !

 

[Fox85]

Offer him to spurs on loan

 

Until January but only a loan

Krameric didn’t suit our counter attacking style at that time 

 

If daka is leaving then that because either he doesn’t want to play in the championship, enzo doesn’t fancy him or enzo has to choose two from three and he prefers kel and vards

Yes. I agree with you, so why buy him? I'd have thought if you are looking to develop a squad that plays in a certain way, you purchase players who are comfortable in that style of play.

When we bought him we weren’t playing that style under Pearson 

we were bottom of the league and needed goals 

[Finnegan]

Got to assume he's either injured or being sold really. Disappointing.

Or .. like Gnonto at Leeds, he wants out and his having a mardy? 

[Bezzanator89]

Head turned by rumours linking him with Everton?

[FrankieADZ]

certainly say hes off, not featured in any of the games so far, unless hes injured its safe to assume hes heading out the door sadly

Daka has been at Leicester for 2 years.

Aside from a game in Moscow where our opponents decided to stand still on the halfway line, he's been woeful.

 

His touch is poor. Speed of thought is incredibly slow. 

 

He moved from a farmer's league to England and isn't quick enough of thought, is too poor on the ball and is not strong enough to survive.

 

Why would anybody would be disappointed in him leaving? 3 different managers haven't played him up front, as he's not done enough in matches or training to convince anybody.

 

A terrible signing in hindsight.

I dont see that as being very likely, he doesn't seem the sort tbf.
