Souness claims he knew who was hopeless, which makes it worse tbh. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11980435/graeme-souness-reveals-untold-story-of-southampton-misfit-ali-dia-we-knew-he-was-hopeless But Kachunga played 117 league games at Huddersfield at Championship and Premiership. 27 with a strugling Shew Wed. However low his confidence or fitness, he IS a footballer with a decent pedigree. Certainly capable of playing for us One thing that his time in England tells us is he's not a goalscorer so not sure if scoring one will make him come good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted October 29, 2021 Members Share Posted October 29, 2021 Let’s remember that Santos had a remarkable turnaround Ive been a critic of Kachunga but I have every faith in IE on his team selections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Owen reckoned that he didn't dwell on fluffed chances and just got on with it, but most strikers thrive on confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just having a think about Dapo’s value. I bet if you asked 100 people they’d all have different answers. Realistically I think he could be worth 2-5 million. Seeing as he’s young, on a 3 year contract and has shown plenty of ability and talent. But I bet some people wouldn’t be happy to see him go for less than 7-10 million. Or maybe even more. Im sure everyone would rather keep him but depends on what sort of model we’re trying to do. Is it buy low and sell high, then re-invest? Or are we just slowly building without having to sell too many players? January is going to be interesting for sure. If we keep him till the end of the season then his value might go even higher but equally he could get injured or drop off in form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 He could comfortably play in the championship now. Should be top priority for a new contract. The fact we got 6 mill for Madine and 3 mill for clough. This lad shouldn’t be going for less than them. Could probably get around that figure if we sold him in summer or next January. But hope we tie him down for 4 years and sell him when he’s getting a bit older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted February 7, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2022 I'd like to think we're in a better position these days to repel boarders who want to take our talent on the cheap. Hopefully the early take up of STs might delay the inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjhb Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Our January business means that in the event of him leaving, we would be able to adapt accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Its been suggested in the past we are going to follow the moneyball Brentford method. If that's the case Dapo is exaclty the type of player that will leave and fans need to get used to losing players pretty quickly and trust those in charge to replace him with a better option.

Members Rudy Posted February 7, 2022 Members Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) No one really knows the market come summer. How many championship sides are dropping millions on a league one player? The safe money would be new contract when it’s up for discussion. Consistency is the key for Dapo and a big move won’t be until he is absolutely tearing up the league. He could be an Eidur or he could go on and be a Zach Clough.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 7, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2022 Yeah, outside the prem, clubs don't seem to be spending large amounts. Post pandemic, and with ffp, perhaps we'd need to lower expectations. That would also be the case for the amount we would rightly pay for any replacement.

Jol_BWFC Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Just finished listening to it. Indeed, comes across really humble. Had no idea about some of the people who have worn the #17 shirt at various other clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
