Player Watch - Arnaut Danjuma

[0-Tibsy-0]

Danjuma is really good guys His stocks are the lowest they’ve been for a while. Was being linked to top European clubs in the summer. Happy abojt this one.

That may be.

But, do you believe he was a top Conte target as part of a thought out plan?

Was he fuck.

Hi Antonio I know you asked for rwb Porro and Zaniolo. Well I have just seen a brilliant deal for Danjuma he can play both positions what you think?. Talk later trying to tie this deal down quickly..... Daniel L.

This signing feels like we're stealing a sandwich from a homeless person.

 

[arunspurs]

For what its worth, Danjuma isnt a Clinton Njie or Nkoudou.

He is proven in CL

In the Villareal CL run to semis 21/22, Danjuma scored 6 goals, 1 assist in 10 starts. Goals against (Atalanta -3, Young Boys -1, Juve (R16-1), Bayern (QF-1))

Any player who scores 6 CL goals in 1 season deserves some respect. This isnt the worst signing we will make. Value for money - this should be right up there. Lets see if we can make it happen and terms of the deal.

Sad no option, if he does well the top six will just cherry pick him, but this is what desperation does to a club I suppose.

From Everton's GrandOldTeam forum.

Doubt he expected the cherry pick to happen before the contracts were signed.

 

[cider spurs]

He'd be a good addition, but maybe not in the right area we truly need as of yet.

Be good succession planning for Sonny.

He tore Dalot a new one v United in UCL back end of '21.

Both Liverpool and United amongst those named as previously holding an interest.

If we could snaffle BOTH him and Zaniolo, happy days. But i'll also not be too quick to write off Danjuma if it was him alone.

 

[Pochemon94]

ok if this frees gil up to go on loan no prob, but it sounds like this is just so they can say they are backing conte without actually doing it

 

[Guntz]

Well he's definitely more of a goal threat than Zaniolo.

Another LW though!

 

[Russ1201]

See that's the 3rd 4th, 5th choices being explored now!
31st January 11.59pm ...... no signings. Here we go again where have I seen this before.

Again, that may be.

But should value for money or backing the manager with what he has set out as his primary targets and requirements be the driving force behind transfers?

 

[The Scarecrow]

Parameters have moved on since last January let's be perfectly frank here.

What does that even mean?

 

[H-SF]

That may be.

But, do you believe he was a top Conte target as part of a thought out plan?

Was he fuck.

Let’s wait and see.
I have to admit though I personally don’t care. Loads will disagree with me but Danjuma is fundamentally better than Zaniolo in my mind so I can’t really say I’m unhappy.

 

[faulks]

Looks like we actuallly acted super fast on a transfer, I just didn't think it would be for this guy.

 

[Trix]

OK so told the Danjuma stuff is true, agent led and we've bitten.

LEVY OUT!!!

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Is this like the Willian signing but to our advantage this time?

 

[felmani26]

What does that even mean?

It means the current situation with Conte's contract/future and the club as a whole is vastly different to last January.

 

[the yid]

OK so told the Danjuma stuff is true, agent led and we've bitten.

LEVY OUT!!!

I knew we wouldn't get Zaniolo

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

I'm not overly excited about Zaniolo - but it seems that was Conte's top target. Which means he should be our top target.

If Danjuma is coming in alongside Zaniolo and means that we can allow Lucas to go, Gil to get 1st team loan football (and perhaps covering for a Kulu 30 day suspension) then fine. Good deal.

If it is, this player is a good deal so we are getting him rather than your actual preference Antonio..... well, then no.

Classic Levy signing. No thought, no plan, doesn't particularly improve us, and likely prevents us getting the managers top target (Zaniolo).

So fed up of this shit. Not a chance is he anywhere near good enough to help us push for top 4 - he was about to sign for the team at the bottom of the league ffs.

LEVY OUT!!!

Oh boy.
