Back in the days when having a Belgian player wasn't what it was now. Did he come in from man u with Drinkwater or have I made that up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Vardy was special and I even was mocked by other supporters (from different teams) they he would rip up the premier league. I see what you are saying but so far for me he needs to do a lot more. Daka had a few chances to prove himself last season and he didn’t show up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you are saying but so far for me he needs to do a lot more. Daka had a few chances to prove himself last season and he didn’t show up. For me he has a lot of similarities. He is raw, he’s got the pace and he is ice cold in front of goal when confident. What he hasn’t really shown is the aggression that Vardy had, but that for me isn’t possible to replicate, unless you find another lad with a similar backstory to Vardy. What Daka needs to improve is the early run, to force the pass in behind. He does do what Vardy tried to do early on, and that’s hang on the shoulder, spin the defender and then use his pace to get in behind. That doesn’t really work in the prem, because the defenders are usually of a good calibre…. However, he has the very best in the world to learn from. He’s shown enough for me that he will come good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then finds himself in a position where he cannot accept a pass and he has to reset. The team understands Vardy's motion to trigger the pass, it is just different than Daka's. If there was a major feature of his play (Daka), it was his ability to stay on side, when it was easier for him to get himself flagged, and that takes a lot of discipline. He has changed his game somewhat and now goes offside more than he should. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people often use Vardy to illustrate a fair point - and don't mention that he's also the exception that breaks almost any rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can now put this to bed, he is not an option, it may have been good to have an offer on the table even if it is the lowest bid. Are we so poor when negotiating and are we seen as a joke and a club to avoid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DezFox Posted 6 July 2022 Share Posted 6 July 2022 We won’t be in for him now, we can’t shift anyone on at the moment. It would sting if he ends up at leeds, genuinely the best we can hope for now I think is he just doesn’t end up in the prem or he does and flops. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 6 July 2022 Share Posted 6 July 2022 I'm sure de Katelaere would be a good buy but for the touted price we should probably try to find some better value for a backup 10/striker, considering we still have to offload Perez and Iheanacho to justify signing him really.
