One he’s so good.. the second Fabrizio Romano said that Edouard was a done deal on a couple of occasions.. now he says it isn’t.. so… until big Daddy sends a photo of him on an airplane.. I can’t accept it! He didn't say it was a done deal, he's quite careful when he says that but he can make other links sound promising but he'll seldom say a player is pretty much signed and then they don't.

I can’t accept it! I’m kind of in the same boat. This lad is SO good it can’t surely be happening. I can’t allow myself the level of utter astonished joy his signing would cause until I hear it officially. Right now I am merely euphoric at the prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t accept it! "Advanced talks" and confident a deal can happen. Compared to: "Done deal" and his trademark "here we go". The first tweet suggests things could happen with Édouard, whereas the latter suggests things are happening and will happen soon. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought it was curious. Anyone heard of him/know why it's gone bad for him or why he wasn't as hyped. I'm all for Daka to be clear, reckon he will turn into a world class player. Looking at that it is quite strange - just €4million to Valladolid (a pretty poor Spanish side) Must have been something about him that wasn't good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, my knowledge of football players is up there but it's not very difficult for Daka to have caught the eye of even the casual football fan. I've been raving about this lad since Haaland fcuked off last year and he's been every bit as good as him since he replaced him. plus if the likes of RB Leipzig were after him too, so he certainly has the talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally never heard of him but he had a better goal scoring record than Daka, pretty much the same as Haaland over more games and is young. Every other player like that has gone for big money and been amazing. But he went to the Spanish second division and flopped. As you say, there must be something to explain it!

murphy Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 22 minutes ago, pazzerfox said: Why is everyone ejaculating over a guy who has good numbers in the Austrian league? Slimani had decent numbers in the Portugese league and Musa had decent numbers in the Russian league. It doesn't mean it translates to the Premier league. Musa scored 18 in 43 for Moscow the season before he came to us. Daka has more than double that strike rate. As for Slim, he actually scored a few for us and I still believe he would have scored goals in a team that played to his strengths and let's not forget that Vardy came from a pretty poor league. I think it is accepted throughout the game that this kid is quite special but I think that there will be a twist to come. I can't believe that Chelsea or Liverpool will let us have him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentFox Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 I’m trying to find a space between the overly-euphoric and the haters ….. and based on the fact that I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play. Just a couple of highlights reels. My impressions are ….. he’s brave, tenacious, courageous. Keen to shoot. Two-footed and his movement looks good. My one reservation would be he doesn’t look that quick? Overall, signing any striker is always fabulously exciting and, given the comments form those that claim to have deeper knowledge of him, this is no exception.
