CrispinLA in Texas Posted 26 March 2022 Share Posted 26 March 2022 Think we're going to get him in the summer.....as I've read today that he's said he's ready for the premier league. Also Tielemans comment's today suggest he's probably off to Arsenal if they get top 4, so it'll be a direct replacement. If we do sign him hope we give him a 6 year contract, thus we won't have the problem if he wants to go to a bigger club in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though that doesn't matter if they hire Tite, as rumored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 29 March 2022 Share Posted 29 March 2022 (edited) Another young striker, see Daka, from a league of modest quality. They come up against the big boys in the PL and quickly realise they have a massive learning curve. The common factor among the leading strikers in the PL. Kane, Salah, Vardy etc. is they ain't young. Daka ,I hope will make it but it is going to take time . We are going to have to ask Jamie to soldier on until he is 37 at this rate. Haaland and Mbappe are the only young strikers consistently scoring at the moment. Edited 29 March 2022 by An Sionnach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't a striker like Daka or Vardy are, he will roam everywhere in the attacking 3rd (mostly into wide areas) and spend most of his time supporting an attack from outside the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him balls to get on the end of and in front of him as opposed to playing to feet. With the defenders coming back, we may be able to push the highline.

Doesn't seem to have the movement yet, to say he could come into his own. Im not sure by him at all, Ahmed Musa springs to mind.

Both have a lot of pace, but seem to react after the pass has been made. I do have more hope for Daka, but some people seem to think he is better than he is at the moment. Done very little, with Vardy injured to change my opinion, ( team hasn’t been great to be fair) perhaps you are seeing a different game to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musa - 21 PL apps, 2 goals, 0 assists Daka - 15 PL apps, 4 goals, 3 assists Maybe your memory isn’t quite recalling how bad Musa was, for me Daka and Musa are not comparable by a long shot. Appreciate Musa was played out wide predominantly, but his general play was absolutely abysmal. Daka’s form has fell away recently hence why Nacho has been preferred but I still think Patson will prove to be a good signing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pacey, legs everywhere and quite uncoordinated at times. Adding a ball into the mix only made things worse. Invariably it would bounce off a knee or paw with head and eyes facing one direction whilst the ball raced off in the other, free and totally undetected. However, the bemused and disappointed look on the face was endearing and the effort made comical to behold.

Used in a 4-2-3-1 wide on the Right Wing, he always seemed better when allowed to play how he wants as opposed to link with a partner or being out of position. Scoring two goals against Barcelona and looking good playing by himself upfront. Sometimes the player just does not suit the way we setup and we fail to take that into consideration, let the player play how he is comfortable playing.

I remember those goals against Barcelona and turning to my mate and saying 'Wow, what have we bought now'! Sadly, it didn't work out that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayFox Posted 30 March 2022 Share Posted 30 March 2022 Anyway getting back on topic how did De Ketelaere play last night, didn’t watch the game and just wondered if we are genuinely interested in signing him and if he would improve or team/squad ?

Hard one to judge with CDK, I've never seen any highlights of him.

Was expecting something special or abit more on what's makes him a future talent. His club want 35m which is abit steep for someone who has yet to prove himself, I maybe wrong but at the moment 20m seems ok 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
