MPH Posted 18 May 2023 Posted 18 May 2023 The problem with Daka is Vardy. For as long as Vardy is playing or even around the club , the players will always have the mentality that we have to play in a way that suits him. The only way we will ever set up to play to Daka’s strengths is if he becomes the number one striker- that way he’ll get the ball played to him in the way he wants just like Vardy has for years.. 3

He’s so far down the list of problems that it’s the likes of Daka who we would benefit from keeping. ...if Nacho does go then we will have a forward who plays in a way which fits with the way the rest of the team plays!!! Nacho is a different kettle of fish and if he stays then the team will play to his strengths and Daka will be picking up scraps. He has to make a decision if he wants to prove a point by staying here, but I can see Nacho staying and being the main man should Vardy choose to go to Sheffield or the USA.

I think his all round game is a bit weak but there's no question he's capable of scoring lots of goals. His movement in the box and finishing ability are very good, he thrives on early balls and one-on-ones and we inexplicably stopped playing that way some time in 2021. From open play I think we've crossed the ball into the bloody box about 4 times this calendar year n all. How anyone can definitively judge our strikers when they've had to play in this absolutely rancid system for the best part of 2 years is anyone's guess. 9

Not sure if this is the case, the players haven’t exactly been giving Vardy great chances this season have they. Not like the way Drinky, Albrighton or even Youri used to. In actual fact our strikers problems I would say are more down to the lack of chances we create as a team

I've a really terrible short term memory (I'm being sincere here) so maybe I have said historically that I think he's 'proven himself' in a moment of wild hyperbole (a key feature of my humour tbf) but I'm pretty confident I've not said that. You want me to have said that because then the bar is higher here for the burden of proof and I've got to somehow demonstrate he's 'proven himself' at this level. I said there was a "good player in there" and that it would be a mistake if we gave up and sold him before he got the opportunity to actually get a run as the main man under a manager that believes in him and wants him. Obviously Patson Daka hasn't "proven himself" or else we wouldn't be having this discussion, if he'd "poven himself" FoxesTalk wouldn't be on his back at every opportunity and @Fox92 would have his neck wound in instead of chirping up about him at every opportunity (in a weirdly persistent way, for such a usually chill poster.) He hasn't proven himself in the same way Kelechi Iheanacho hadn't proven himself when City fans judged him too early and were literally booing when he got subbed on, the same way Madders hadn't proven himself when City fans were judging him too early and literally booing when he got subbed on and the same way they judged Jamie Vardy too early when people on here were calling him a flop, a failed experiment and wanted to see him go back to non league. At the risk of going full "Col City Fan", I always thought Vardy was excellent and would come good, I always thought Iheanacho would come good and I feel very strongly about Daka the same way now. I am a chill poster! I enjoy debating with you and others on here, you are right that I'm on his back every opportunity but I also think that of a lot of our players. Especially with our season as a whole and their pathetic performances, for instance Faes is another one I'm always criticising. I hope Daka proves me wrong and you tell me how you were right. Obviously that would mean (surely) we're doing well as a club. I am quite "old school" with the stats I look at (shots/shots on target/corners) and I don't go into depth with all these "goal contributions" because I judge strikers on goals alone. But it doesn't mean I think these stats shouldn't be used or anything like that. Anyway this debate has been done to death, I just hope Daka and other players come good for us on a consistent basis.
davieG Posted 19 May 2023 Posted 19 May 2023 TURKEY GIANTS GALATASARAY READY TO OFFER PATSON DAKA £ 200 000 PER WEEK MAKING HIM AMONG THE TOP 3 HIGHEST PAID AFRICANS.. With Rumors suggesting Galatasaray's Striker Marco Icardi is going to Premier League, the replacement set in for him is Leicester City and Zambian striker Patson Daka. Regardless of the huge offer Daka and 12 Management are considering other offers within the Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A or staying at Leicester City especially if they survive Relegation..

Finnegan Posted 19 May 2023 Posted 19 May 2023 Yeah those famously free spending Turkish clubs always lavishing us with cash. 1
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 19 May 2023 Posted 19 May 2023 Yeah the biggest loan (no option to buy) merchants going aren't suddenly spending £200k a week on someone unless they're an absolutely huge draw
pkonline Posted 30 May 2023 Posted 30 May 2023 Two seasons in, and the fact that many of us don't really know what Daka offers us, says something! Kinda reminds me of what happened with Kramarić - good player but not worked out.
trooky Posted 30 May 2023 Posted 30 May 2023 Keep him, should be able to do a job in championship especially with his pace. Defenders aren't going to be as quick in the championship 2

reynard Posted 30 May 2023 Posted 30 May 2023 His management team won't want him languishing in the Championship. Very likely to be moved on if an offer from a top flight club in Europe comes along.

Unless he goes back to Salzburg, I don't see him suddenly turning it on elsewhere. Look at Mitrovic as an example, always a bit hit or miss in the Premier League, he had one electric season in the Championship that took him up a level. But personally if we could only keep one of him and Kelechi, I would choose Kel.
