Genuinely don't follow much football outside of England anymore so know very little about this guy. Can't help but be excited just from the reaction on this thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of Kante and Mahrez before they joined us. PD will be a great success for us. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daka I'm sure will make a useful contribution but nobody should get carried away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you probably also class Mahrez as a striker but for a Winger just settling into not only a new type of football but also a new way of life I’d say 7 in 49 isn’t actually a bad return... stats aside he was a breath of fresh air and a joy to watch when he signed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for 10-15 next season and that will be a a fine first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 26 June 2021 Share Posted 26 June 2021 As someone who knows, what I would consider, a lot about current football, I’ve surprised myself with this one, as I genuinely know very little about him! I’ve just ‘heard the name’ Can someone who knows more about him, please give me a player in the top five leagues who Daka is equivalent to (past or present) just to build my excitement? …Vardy? …Torres? …Manzukic? ….Shearer?

He has alot of attributes that Vardy has. Pace, plays on the shoulder, can carry the ball, underrated finisher with both feet. Doesn't have the aggression of Vardy, but that isn't to his detriment. He may need easing in, but even so I can see him getting 12-15 goals, the ball just ends up at his feet in the box, which is by no means a fluke. Him and Iheanacho could be 1 hell of a partnership. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably the best Vardy replacement we could ask for. Extremely quick, plays on the shoulder, intelligent runs in behind, etc. Not sure if he’s as aggressive/tenacious with his press like Vardy when he was younger, but overall, his playstyle is perfect for us. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 26 June 2021 Share Posted 26 June 2021 4 minutes ago, wardyfox86 said: Hahaha! Great timing One more thing I would add is that Daka seems like he’d be a great fit for the dressing room, which is something us fans often overlook. Having watched some of his interviews, he seems like a great bloke, always smiling, positive, very religious, humble but also determined to progress in his career. Reminds me of Ngolo & I could see him becoming a player that leads by example. Here’s a good interview with Enock Mwepu: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 26 June 2021 Share Posted 26 June 2021 So my mates wife is Zambian and he's tapped up the brother-in-law for info on Daka. Came back with this. Or in Nyanja tongue, "You can say "Ni wa nzelu maningi ku bola" translates he's a genius at football Fair enough. He'll do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
