Because it isn't true.

He was also in provisional squad for the euros. So he clearly isn't crap. He is a young defender with bags of potential but you write him off as crap because you are clueless.
Danjuma
Not really creative - based on this season - but he scores goals.

Funny enough was talking about these two yesterday, they are such the type of signings we used to make who had a decent patch and then amount to nothing.

Would have fit in well with most of our squad then
We need to deliver better quality with our crosses but earlier in the season we averaged fewer crosses per game and if you've got DCL in the team then you have to be delivering for him. To me that means deliveries like we saw Gray put in for him v Utd. Flat, pacey and to the six-yard box. That's how DCL is effective, not in 1v1s.
We do struggle through the middle of the pitch especially in the 4-3-3 with the midfielders all running away from each other. But when we get it to the final third there's too much reliance on individual skill/ideas and our players simply don't have it in their locker on a consistent basis. This is true for absolutely all of them.
So IMO we need better patterns of play there, better ideas of how to get to goal and what our striker's strengths are. Even if it's Maupay we should be getting to the byline and cutting it back low for him, so that doesn't change in that sense from DCL. But with Maupay you can't go direct because he just can't hold it up well enough.

All over this one. Get him done yesterday.
Danjuma numbers from last season
| Player | Games Played | Games Started | Goals | Assists | Shot Conversion Rate (inc. Blocks) | Total Shots (inc. Blocks) | Chances Created (inc. assists) | Big Chance Total | Big Chance Missed | Expected Goals | Expected Goals (ex. penalties) | Expected Assists |
| Danjuma, Arnaut | 34 | 27 | 16 | 4 | 18.39 | 87 | 21 | 26 | 13 | 17.25 | 14.09 | 3.09 |
In a 352 he'd be ideal next to DCL but doesn't solve issue of creativity.
But if it's true then I have no issue with it. Pace, a goal threat, runs at defenders etc

It's not actually. He's a 1 in 3 player on minutes played, so if he starts about 30 matches that gets us to 10. Pretty simple.

Well yes a cross like that one you've mentioned is great and one from the touchline I think we should be desperately avoiding. But this is why I talk about management all the time. I just don't think even reasonable upgrades are going to make the difference people are hoping for because they'll still be picking the ball up 70 yards from goal.
At 26, does this tell you something??
