I’m guessing you did. Have you seen any other Leicester player score four in a game? You haven’t. I fully get why some fans- including you - don’t like or don’t rate Daka, but why the hyperbole? He was the second highest rated striker of his generation when we signed him. He’s not so bad you know? Disappointing maybe, but not so bad. Better than some recent horrors like Musa & Slimani for sure. Feel free to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 17 August 2023 Share Posted 17 August 2023 It looks like Bouba will spend the next couple of years picking up 6 or 7 million for doing very little. Few clubs will match his salary , either because they can't afford it or it will break their own salary regime. If we subsidise his pay , we can loan him . I can see the Thais baulking at paying out millions for two years for a player who will then be valueless. He could join the ground maintenance gang I suppose.

Simmo86 Posted 17 August 2023 Share Posted 17 August 2023 36 minutes ago, Viva said: He’s right up there considering the fee we paid for him. Directly responsible for our relegation as we were so poor in that centre mid area and he was the worst of a bad bunch. We paid 17 million which really isn’t that much in Premier League terms and everybody was creaming their pants that we’d signed him at the time and after the Community Shield. Considering 95% of our players have underperformed in the 2 years he’s been here, whilst he’s adjusting to a new country, new league and being played in a completely new role, I think I’ll cut him a bit of slack.

Again, I’d respectfully disagree. Bloke was brodgered from the get go, brought in to be Yaya Toure when he’s actually more of an Ian Banks. I don’t think we overpaid with this one.

I’m judging him purely on our time with us. Doesn’t matter how good we thought he would be. You can’t give everyone over two years to prove themselves.

But you and others are free to disagree Agreeing to disagree is healthy conversation my man 👍 When I watched him at his former club he played really the role we have Harry winks in. Drop deep, pick up the ball, play it to other players. The deepest midfielder. You have to defend if you're doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast change in all that towards the end of last season when played in his correct position for more than a cameo time period. Even the radio pundits commented on it. If you researched his strengths at his last club before he came here you'll see why he was always going to be up against it. Although I've put this on before, if you have time to read this article and then objectively think about how Rodgers used him, I personally think there's a reason why he didn't perform well on his odd appearances. He's not the only player in fairness who was a round peg dumped into a square hole. https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/player-analysis-boubakary-soumare/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. Same with your (user) namesake Faes, whose first good game for us was last Saturday! Laughably bad before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
