honeybradger Posted 29 August 2025 Posted 29 August 2025 Part of me is worried that now we have "satisfied PSR" the club will no longer be looking to shift players like Daka, Faes, Kristiansen etc. Hopefully we are still open to clearing out some more of the squad.

I assume we have bids/loans lined up so can move fast if the players mentioned exit Edited 29 August 2025 by kingpower 1

Looks equally as effective in front of goal as Daka, if not better. Could be worth giving him a game! No, that's our next transfer to Wrexham. 1
Collymore Posted 29 August 2025 Posted 29 August 2025 How can he go from scoring almost a goal a game for Red Bull Salzburg to a goal a season at us? It's one of life's mysterious unanswerable questions. 1

It's one of life's mysterious unanswerable questions. Because there's more to a footballer than your athleticism or your ability. There's loads of footballers in the lower leagues that are technically gifted (which I'm not suggesting he is btw) but just don't have the brain to cut it at the highest levels. You've got to have the mental strength and self confidence to play in front of tens of thousands of people in a stadium and potentially millions watching world wide at home. You've got to be able to shrug off mistakes and and have enough belief in yourself, arrogance almost really, to know you're going to go back out on to the pitch and perform. I think Daka was horrendously poorly managed when he got here. I don't think he's the only one. I think Rodgers tanked the value of our squad in more ways than one and one was definitely badly handling guys like Daka and Soumare when they arrived. It can't be easy for a striker, of all positions, to be constantly chopped in and out and in and out of the squad with little chance to really develop any kind of consistency. But by now he's had plenty of chances and plenty of goes at it and he's just never, ever really regained the composure or self belief that he came to the club with. Comes a certain point that that's not the problem of X different managers, it's just a problem with the player. He's just not really got the mental strength to play football at this level, has he?

It's one of life's mysterious unanswerable questions. This is one transfer I was really excited about and one that I dont blame the club for pursuing. On the face of it, it seemed a bit of a coup. He has been a monumental flop. More than anyone could have imagined. 3
mod hero Posted 29 August 2025 Posted 29 August 2025 He’s scored 1 goal in his last 40 appearances, which has spanned 18 months.
Jabbaranks Posted 29 August 2025 Posted 29 August 2025 Hopefully he gets a statue to commemorate his time with us here

Muzzy_no7 Posted 29 August 2025 Posted 29 August 2025 If we offload VK, Daka and Faes this window I will streak on the B4114
LCFCJohn Posted 29 August 2025 Posted 29 August 2025 I mean I defended him for a long time but feel he needs to go. However, it is clear we aren’t signing anyone as there is nothing serious or reputable to indicate we are even in the market. So what, we go through until at least January with no actual striker? As Ayew certainly isn’t one!
Chelmofox Posted 29 August 2025 Posted 29 August 2025 Be interesting to see if he does a lap of honour around the ground clapping the fans after the game. If he scores a deflected tap in we might see the somersault one more time.

Actually, I've just seen his goal return for last couple of seasons and I'm retracting that statement. Edited 29 August 2025 by Rusko187 Idiotic comment made. 2
Gazza3 Posted 29 August 2025 Posted 29 August 2025 Bamdord maybe ok . More of a threat from all the crosses we keep putting in to no one
