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

I would agree with this.

 

Nothing to suggest his attitude or work ethic are anything but top notch. 

[smudger63]

The problem Daka has got with Enzo being the manager, is he wants his players to be technically good with the ball at their feet, and sadly that isn't a strength of Daka.

I think it's highly likely Enzo will be looking to off load Daka and bring in a more technically gifted striker.

I still think there is a player in Daka, but he needs a run in a team that will play to his strengths, and that definitely won't be us.

Out of interest, why do you still think there's a player in there?

He's basically Ahmed Musa 2nd. 

I've seen this type of comment a lot and it reminds me of how utd fans would still put Paul pogba in their best prem XIs after 4 years of him doing nothing. They'd conned themselves and somehow couldn't admit the truth 

We've now got Leicester fans doing the same after 2 years of Daka looking like a competition winner.

Pogba remains United record transfer fee .. he has a great YouTube highlight reel but was inconsistent..

Let Daka go for £15m and bring in a player like Piroe, but if Daka goes then Nacho needs to stay. We need 3 strikers.

We paid something like 29m for Daka?

Over 2 years ago in a farmer's league.

 

After two years of actually watching him continually miscontrolling, mishitting, and being strongarmed off the ball, what makes you think the Daka in the video still exists and has what is needed to thrive in England?

How do you think you’d get on in the Austrian league then? Fancy yourself to beat his numbers? Get your agent onto RB Salzburg!

You asked the question, what makes you think there's a player there, not what makes you think he'll thrive in England. Also Austria is hardly an amateur league is it, you still have to be fairly handy to do a job.

When i say there is a player in there, i dont mean in terms of  him ever being technically gifted, but i mean in a team that plays to his strength, he will score goals, in the way that he scored the 4 against Moscow, and scored 54 in 82 games for Salzburg.

Of course  Austrians top league isnt of the standard of the premier league, which i know you will immediatly come back with, but in a team that wants to play a possession game, and doesnt move the ball quickly, and doesnt release the ball quickly looking for a run in behind, he has no chance, which is why Vardy has struggled in recent seasons too.

The truth is, we went out to recruit another Vardy like player, which they did, but at the same time, we had gone away from the style of football that got the best out of such players.

It was poor recruitment more than anything else, looking for a player who was never going to fit in with the style of play we had changed too.

Exactly. Football exists outside the big 5 European leagues. Some don’t seem to realise this.

Im sure these people will also kick off if we don’t get something like £15mill for him despite calling him a pub player and competition winner!

4 goals 4 assists in 1100 PL minutes last season is actually quite good. He has end product, he's just not got much technical ability and has been misused in roles and systems that dont suit him.

[mozartfox]

Dodgers has ruined him.   I also personally think EM needs him out to facilitate the signings in other areas.  Never given a long run in the team and did not suit Rogers- ball. 
 

Correcting Rudkin’s and the Recruitment Team’s numerous costly car crashes is going to hamper EM and take another year or so to resolve. 
 

I can see Everton coming in for him.

Everton drawing a blank against Fulham will have exasperated the need for more attacking options and I think they will move for Daka this week.

If he is as crap as some on here think, Everton won't be interested. Unless of course we let him go for £5 million or so. If we do they will scream blue murder on here.  We have three strikers who no longer score goals and no team gets out of the Championship without a functioning striker. I have said before our strikers need to score 40 to 50 goals between them at least this season . Very much doubt that is going to happen. We need a new striker.

If that’s a farmers league, what in gods name is the championship? 

[Pliskin]

I think it’s a case of some players just have to go. As previously mentioned we can’t have a situation where players are sat on the bench earning mega money not playing. 
 

Enzo would have had to make a decision on some players, and he’s likely selected which players he feels will fit his system the least. 
 

Daka is quality, but he’s unfortunately been playing under a manager who’s just not been interested, and it’s completely done him in.. he needs to leave to find himself again. 
 

Brendan Rodgers has A LOT to answer for….
