I was told about this by someone relatively ITK re: RBNY this morning so I think there’s something in this. They were under the impression that Werner was still the #1 target and the more likely option. 

Thanks.

 

I'm guessing it's to do with the Red Bull links with both, so it makes sense in that way. 

 

Just £25m sounds too much. But if we get offered that, we have to take it. However only if we can replacement. 

 

But I think Spurs will be happy to sell Werner. The yanks must like a striker that doesn't score many goals

Warner is on loan to Spurs

[JimJams]

Dakas contract runs out Jun 2026 anyway, so he's due to be sold.

 

However, google Werner and there's plenty of stories popping up about a potential transfer.  Google Daka, and there's nothing.

clarifying 2026, not Jun 26th for the soft...

Oh yes please

They only look to have two?

 

Emil Forsberg RB Leipzig 2024–

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting Bayern Munich 2025–

 Could be right. There’s a player listed as “2024,” but I’ve seen elsewhere that he’s on a full year loan into 2025. Wikipedia firing on all cylinders…

Would be typical that we would finally have a potential chance to get rid but it would likely leave us with just Vardy and Edouard for the rest of the season

I think we have to take the chance, if we can turn a profit.

[foxfanazer]

A truly woeful footballer. Sell

Wonder where Lath is going?

Came off injured today

Daka has proved he’ll score goals in weak leagues. He would be elite in the mls similar to how jozy altidoor couldn’t score for sunderland or hull but was the best player in the mls

We will have no ****er left 😂

****er being the correct term 

[Muzzy_no7]

Won’t happen.

 

We aren’t lucky enough to get decent money for a misfit 

[Finn Claw II]

Decent money for any player in our squad and I’d let them go.  Bank it for the rebuild. 

 

Ayew, Vardy, the kit man and Eduoard - in that order to score the goals that keep us up….

Musa is perhaps the exception that proves the rule

Both of those strikers have scored buckets of goals in the Red Bull setup, they’d both do very well at RBNY.

Also, everyone, it’s MLS not the MLS

Daka or Werner

 

Would be the only two people in America that can't shoot.

 

[Genesis1]

We make jokes because he's not great in the premier league but he'll likely do very well in America. For 25m they could have a decent striker for the next 5-7 years.

I made the 25M free up. No idea what he is worth. 12M on transfermarkt.

We would need a striker, I think.

 

An injury to Jamie Vardy and we are cooked!

We're cooked with Jamie Vardy on the pitch full stop.

[LCFCJohn]

I’m not sure how book value BS works part way through the season but £23,000,000 over 5 years is £4,600,000 per year. Presumably until the summer he’d have £9,200,000 left.

 

Given people were happy with the tiniest bit of PSR profit from Cannon I guess anything £12,000,000 would be fine. 

[The Hitman]

There’s only Mads, BEK and Fatawu I wouldn’t sell at that price in the whole squad. 
 

If we can get that sort of money for any other player then sell and try and replace them, squad needs a huge overhaul. 

[South Shire Fox]

Id take 15m if they offered it

[ronnup]

Id take 15 pence if it got him gone

[Dahnsouff]

So we would be left with just Vardy and Edouard? Seems unlikely.

 

(leaves door open for ‘shouldn’t have sold Cannon.’ apologists)

[Saxondale]

I reckon he’d absolutely smash it in the MLS to be fair.
