Kanu again oh way oh way4

As much as I say the gap is too big from League 2 to Championship, Kanu and Mbick couldn't do any worse than TC and Miles5

S tkt holding son just text to ask what Pat was like.
Hope he gets plenty of chances to show what he can do there - believe they also have an injury "crisis".0 -
They would. The lack of chances created, decent balls into the box to attack and lack of possession in the final third is the problem.Braziliance said:As much as I say the gap is too big from League 2 to Championship, Kanu and Mbick couldn't do any worse than TC and MilesKanu and mbick would have similar lack of service and should be allowed to develop at L2 where they are both doing very well3 -
Yeah its the second third thats the issue ive come to the realisation.
jones would also know by now (or beginning of this season) if kanu/mbick could do better than leaburn/godden/kelman.Still would recall one0 -
It's ironic that If the club lined up a random, 21 year old league 2 striker with Kanu's scoring record most of the fanbase wouldn't be able to contain themselves.4

League 2 to championship is a huge jump, very rare that players can do it. Macauley Langstaff scored 42 in the national league, then 28 in league 2, then he jumped straight to the championship where he has 2 goals in 46 appearances so far6

and so far Kelman is doing similar from L1NabySarr said:League 2 to championship is a huge jump, very rare that players can do it. Macauley Langstaff scored 42 in the national league, then 28 in league 2, then he jumped straight to the championship where he has 2 goals in 46 appearances so far0 -
True, but Mbick’s only recently turned 19. Langstaff was in non-league at the same age and hadn’t even broken through, never mind scored goals and impressed with his all round game.NabySarr said:League 2 to championship is a huge jump, very rare that players can do it.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RMr-LwERXTQIt is interesting to observe how Kanu has the football intelligence to suss out the promise of a breakaway, and be in the right place to deliver.0

His football IQ is one of his biggest strengths, it’s why he’s such a brilliant presser.

A gift of a backpass but he'd made the run and finished well.
That's his 10th goal for Warsaw in all competitions1 -
part (a lot) of the problem since Kelman came off against Swansea, is the press is non-existent from Leaburn, and Dan would be ideal to fill that gap4
-
the other bit is, we can call Kanu back and then if needs be, say Charlie is fit in January, send Dan back to Walsall for the rest of the season0
-
He’s definitely who I’d recall if we had to recall one of them. I’m still anti the idea in general though4
-
Can't believe he's scored 10 goals for a Polish club and also an English club this season. What a talent! But how is this allowed?Henry Irving said:A gift of a backpass but he'd made the run and finished well.

The question shouldn’t be can Kanu or Mbick make the step up to the championship the question should be would they improve our starting lineup/squad and make us a better side.
We’re in a relegation battle like it or not this is not the time to think what’s better for the individual it should be what is best for the club.If there’s not enough money in the bank or we need to focus on the defence and we think there’s a chance Mbick or Kanu can improve our odds of survival we have to be willing to take that risk.There is also the option to reloan them back out to the club at the end of the window so the worse that can happen is we disrupt their development for what one month.1 -
And this is one reason why NJ isn’t a fan of loans I’d imagine, especially in the first half of the season. I’d also understand Walsall’s frustration, look how we felt when Gallagher was recalled.Callumcafc said:3 -
I think it's happened to Walsall four seasons on the trot. Freddie Draper (10), Danny Johnson (15), Nathan Lowe (18) and now potentially Kanu (10) all Walsall's top scorers when recalled.LargeAddick said:

But they've benefited from having all those goals, scored by players that don't belong to them. They were lucky to get Kanu, as he's too good for L2, and it just needed a run of games to show his quality. I'm sure a few L1 clubs will have wondered how they missed out on him.Addick Addict said:

Yes it was a disaster for us when Gallagher was recalled, but without his contributions in the first half of 19/20, we would have had fewer points and been much nearer the bottom 3 in January.
I'd definitely recall Kanu as soon as we can (the 2nd January I think) as we need extra bodies in straight away, and who better than our own player, someone who will need no settling in period. Our squad when we play Blackburn on the 4th January will definitely look stronger with Kanu in it. And yes we can always send him back to Walsall later in the month.Crispywood said:The question shouldn’t be can Kanu or Mbick make the step up to the championship the question should be would they improve our starting lineup/squad and make us a better side.

I don't especially see Kanu as a Championship quality player, but I am not sure any of our other strikers are either.killerandflash said:

At the moment, Kanu would probably be starting games. As for recalling, I think it depends on the injury situation. If Kelman is back before January, then maybe Kanu wouldn’t be coming back and getting in our team and it would be best to leave him thereCrispywood said:The question shouldn’t be can Kanu or Mbick make the step up to the championship the question should be would they improve our starting lineup/squad and make us a better side.

If we still don’t have a LWB fit on January 2nd I’d be recalling him and starting him against Blackburn1 -

We would have been bottom without Gallagher first half of the season though.
Whilst Walsall would be gutted if he is recalled, I reckon they would still be happy with the loan having given them such a good first half a season.0 -
Daniel Kanu just turned 21 in November.
Is he now at the right age to pigeon hole him and write him off, because after all he has already had 20 years to prove himself?
Personally I think the right thing is to reserve judgement and observe.
I love it that yet another Academy product is graduating into a credible pro footballer.0 -
Don't bring him back, I've got him for league 2 top scorer at 50/1!1
