‘He will be very quickly forgotten which won’t suit his ego that doesn’t match his talent’
I just don’t understand why that was necessary about a bloke who always gave his all and scored some brilliant goals as well as doing excellent stuff with charities and was respectful to the fans. It’s just so modern Britain social media…. I thought you were much better than that so my opinion of you is not what you think!
I’m going to have another attempt at my post, which will hopefully be better articulated and explained rather than my initial rushed post.
I’m not responding to your personal comments, I’ve said for years it’s tiresome and I’d like it to stop.
So, as mentioned by others I’ve also struggled to find any connection with Danjuma. This is solely down to hardly seeing him play in the flesh, getting that buzz of excitement as he turned a player inside out in front of me. If I had, then I’m sure I’d feel less blasé about his departure.
If it wasn’t for covid and he turned those performances on in front of a big crowd, he could have had a real connection with the crowd and been somewhat of a cult hero, even after such a short period. Which would have far better suited his ego, he’s an ego player, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Is he as good as he thinks he is? I don’t think he is, but then again, that’s not a bad thing as professional footballer playing a flair player position. If he doesn’t believe in himself he doesn’t pull off the great things he does, when it doesn’t come off, he thinks next time it will...it’s part of what makes him the player he is and most wingers come into that category.
So we move on and think what it would have been like if we had seen all those moments and experienced them and the roar of the crowd and he leaves as a cult hero. That would have far better suited his ego, than the reality that is, due to it being the covid season, those individual moments will be forgotten by most. Nearly everything to do with the covid season will be a small footnote in the clubs history, because we weren’t there to witness it. Will I remember his goal away at Norwich in 5 years time for example? No, but I do remember Matt Ritchie’s against Sheffield Wednesday, because I was there etc...
If I’d have seen more of him I’d be happy to say whether or not that he would step up to the Premier League or not, as is, I don’t know.
So as it stands, a switch to La Liga where he won’t be overly stifled like he would in the Premier League or Serie A sounds like a great move. Somewhere to shine in most games.
If I’d have seen more than 169 minutes of him, 18 months ago, I may have a different view. As it stands I’ve seen more of Jaidon Anthony in the past 2 and a bit weeks...and I’d say it’s too early to judge him as well.
As for the price, it’s a profit, but not by much, but a profit nonetheless, maybe £5million that could be reinvested in the squad depending on whether we’re still paying off his transfer fee and how much we’re getting immediately from Villarreal, so I’m not expecting us to immediately go on a big spending spree on the back of this single sale.
