Surely if it’s the appearance issue, now the window is closed, he will come back into the squad at least and be used when required. It’s just like signing a striker for £5 million. If he gets the goals to take us up, the money is more than justified!! 

Not quite like signing a player for £5m. More like signing a player on loan for four months for £5m when he’s unlikely to play many games!
Hopefully this £5m fee isn’t correct and he becomes an option, but realistically he will be 4th choice anyway.

If we keep finding it hard to score Enzo would be stupid not to play him.

 

 

Is the issue not creating chances though? I’ve not seen much in Daka that suggests he is going to link up the play enough/at all to solve that issue.

One thing that did occur to me and I have said this already, there is always the possibility we genuinely believe in Cannon for the future anyway. He's only 20 and Vardy and Kel are both out of contract next year. We're gonna need strikers, maybe we think Cannon is THE one. 

Yeah I agree he has a lot of potential and is surely setting his sites on firing us up 🔝 

[dylanlegend]

In the correct setup Daka would bang goals in the championship, in fact so would Nacho and Vardy. Cannon is not the messiah if we was Everton would have kept him. Instead they were interested in signing Nacho. 
 

The problem is we don’t create enough clear cut chances for our strikers. Until we sort that out we won’t score many anyway

Feel sorry for Daka really, after how poor Iheanacho & Vardy  were yesterday I would give him another chance (even with us paying Salzburg £5 million) oh and also get our greedy (misfiring) midfielders to learn how to pass a ball forward in the final third of the pitch… 

Vardy was making runs in behind their high line and none of our players passed it through to him.

That has to be put into the context of Everton's questionable recruitment policy.

As usual. Common theme whenever Vardy played last season. Midfield ignored his runs and his pointing where he wanted the ball playing, a la his 11th consecutive strike when Fuchs played that great pass.
 

Youri particularly culpable last season in ignoring Vardy.

Rumours around financial fair play issues as well. Cashing in on academy products does help that.

Exactly the same with Daka making runs and calling for the ball but it never arrived. Unless the strikers get some service they are never likely to be effective.

So what have we paid for Daka so far?

Far too much.

2 years at approx 4.5m per year 

9m written off and 13.5m to go 

[Long Eaton Fox]

So is their a £5m payment due to leave £8.5m to go?

...with the amount of balls that get played into the opposition's box, he looks like he can anticipate and get on to a lot of that kind of service!!!

Old fashion striker with a presence, 20 years old and has the utmost belief in himself.

 

[foxile5]

If he's staying then we can't have another Rodgers situation. Needs to be earning his crust.

 

He's got champions League experience and we need him to contribute not sitting coining it.

I always find these sort of comments frustrating. It’s like when somebody says: “…but he’s an international player”

 

Factually correct, but ultimately meaningless

I suppose that indicates, at least with the champions league, he's played in a competition with extremely good footballers.

 

Unlike some of the international backwaters, there's a standard of play in the champions league that's quality assured.

 

The level he's played at is hardly St Kitts and Nevis is it?

I suspect that this appliess to Coady as

Well.

Even Wolves got rid!

[Wymsey]

Think he's a confidence player.

 

If he gets one (when was the last time that he scored?), his morale levels would quite increase.

We’ve paid £23m for him 

What’s left of that 23 is irrelevant- we have to pay it as agreed (we may have already paid it) unless some of it is related to add ons which aren’t met (see the appearance ‘story’ from last week) 

in our accounts the fee is written off at 20% each year. Hence the 13.5m still left in the negative column. for ffp purposes, any fee received above that means we aren’t becoming worse off.

Everton would sign my left testicle if I put it on Transfermarkt. Which I intend to.

[justfoxes]

Play the Little Fucher Enzo we need to start scoring the goals, this lad will score plenty in this league !!
