The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2025 rumours thread.

Daka's goals per minute ratio for the first half of the season was much better than Cannon's has been. He only played 7 games in the first half of the season though, and only a minute in one of those, scoring 4 goals. He missed a lot of time in the first half of the season due to AFCON. He also scored 6 goals for Zambia in that time.

By this stage last season Daka had scored 4 goals in 448 minutes. One goal per 112 minutes. Compared to Cannon's one goal every 206 minutes this season.

I know he gets a lot of stick, he's definitely not the finished article. But his stat's ain't bad, he's all heart and he does pull defences away, makes chances for others. His pace gets him in the right place at the right time, its just a shame that being in that position also gives him the opportunity to make a balls up.

Perhaps Tom should stay where he is. Being appreciated is important. If 11 goals so far in all competitions is not good enough for our fans, best of luck to him where he is appreciated. We just have to hope we don’t look stupid next season when we either have no one who can score at championship level, or we are still reliant on one man (pushing 40) to carry the whole weight of of our attack over an enormously busy championship season. I doubt we’ve thought about that though. We tend not to think about cliff edges until we have toppled over them. Nothing like some good old fashioned short sightedness and dumbfuckery.

Stoke diehards and teammates flood Tom Cannon with love as transfer rivals hover

Tom Cannon has been left in little doubt that he can find a home to play and score regularly at Stoke City but he is wanted this month by Sheffield United

The new boss said last week: “Tom’s been good all the way through (the season). Sometimes the service has been a little bit sparse between chances and we’ve got to try to get to a point when chances are coming and he’ll finish.

“He’s a certain type of striker where he’ll find space off the back and he’ll run. We saw that (against Plymouth) when he nearly got in and when he (had a collision with the goalkeeper) and I thought he’d got on the end of that and he always gets across people well.

“He understands the game. He’s only 22 and he’s a really good young player.”



Nah he’s shit apparently.

Daka .... also scored 6 goals for Zambia in that time.

Would that he could have scored those 6 goals for Leicester the year before
