Patson Daka

It's amazing how clubs have an MO they follow - especially those who are run under the same umbrella.

Yep and then people will claim they were right that all he would cost was 20-30 mil as he goes off to Leipzig to replace Werner. Then will complain about why we didn’t pay the money.

hopefully if the players knows of our interest, he won’t allow himself to be forced through the pipeline.

Thats because our radar is made with toilet roll tubes and sticky back plastic

Looks like I'm starting the cult of AG

Can 100% guarantee, he is. Whether that has changed in the last 24 hours I do not know, but know for a fact he is on our radar. Rob/A&C can verify my knowledge of this.

There were similar game highlights for Damiao playing for the full Brazil side against Argentina. Would be a huge gamble at 40 million. To put into context - that’s twice what Haaland cost, and more than either Salah or Mane cost in a climate where you can sign Doherty for 12 million due to the pandemic.

I get that strikers cost more, but 40 million at the moment is a huge number. That’s twice what City paid for Ferran Torres a couple weeks ago.

The Doherty low transfer fee was an anomaly due to Mendes. Yes we're in a pandemic but that doesn't necessarily the market has crashed for the top prospects. If guys like Joelinton and Haller were being transferred for £40M+ last summer, and championship players like Watkins are going now for £30M, then we need to be realistic about what Daka would be valued at. Transfers are always a gamble, especially for strikers.

I’ll send an e-mai recommending him to Daniel,my brother.

He did say he reads all the emails he get sent. Poor bloke - imagine the demographic that sends them. Must be like having your own personal TrustPilot.

Gotta believe there's something in the Daka link.

As someone mentioned before, Ally Gold doesn't run a story unless he's confident there's truth in it. So either, we were interested but bulked at price (most likely) or it's just agent talk to get someone else to make a bid.

Lets ignore everything else posted, and concentrate

I look forward to our weird obsession with you and then vilifying you over the next few years

Can’t see why he’d be against it.

Get to go play CL football at Leipzig and then likely go to one of Europe’s elite from there.

Two ITKs saying same....close the thread. ?‍ ?

 

[DiVaio]

So Gards said we were interested in Daka, then it was confirmed by one of the most reliable journalist who gets info from the club and suddenly he's no longer a target? Doesn't make any sense

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that I think this has legs purely based on the way AG reported the news, I've read his articles long enough to know when something is afoot and frankly he's been our best source of information over the previous 2 windows and this current one (other than that wild GOAT Doherty ITK). Whether we like the news he gives or not, he has been accurate. I'm backing him here, whether it happens remain to be seen but until AG says we're priced out, I'm going to be hopeful.

Ok we may be interested but if we are in serious talks and our season is four days away why would be starting for Salzburg last night. At the very least the “talks” cannot be that far progressed, right ?
