We may, or may not, get a few good games out of him.
It's no more than that. A global superstar is not going to sign for Barnsley for £1 million plus if it proves this is a player who is "off the scale" in world terms. XD

Who said he was a global super star ?

He's as raw as a 14 year old kid entering an Amsterdam coffee shop and ordering a latte SB .

I'm not expecting anything much on the field to be honest , 20 years old , 18 games behind him moving to the UK and to a league that's as unforgiving on young players as they come , we've seen enough ourselves to know that .

What he does in training as I've said before will determine where this goes in my opinion .

I agree Animal.

Some posters may have to put their buckets of popcorn away for toneet but I shall return to call out the elephants in the room tomorrow. :P Vaccine jab at the John Smiths Stadium toneet.

all the worlds best players have to start somewhere,,we dont know how good or bad daryl is and will not know until we see him play, kevin keegan was plucked from s****horpe after being turned down by donny, we have to give all players a chance and i dont mean one game

I'm not expecting a reight lot and if he adds some value to the squad then it's a bonus for me .

Got built up far too much this kid , not by him or the club but by fans on social media .

The novelty of this kid seems to have created a temporary memory lapse given nearly all 20 years olds recruited from abroad have struggled initially in the championship at this club .

He may find it easier with a more settled team as we seem to have this season rather than a situation we had at the start of last when everybody was struggling I will concede .

Standing out in the MLS against second rate European and Mexican defenders is one thing but doing it from the off in the English Championship is quite another .

Agree with all that. Fans definitely gerrin too carried away considering where he's come from and his inexperience. It's a lot o pressure for young lad.

A will seh one thing abart Dike though, izzan unknown quantity tut opposition which should be to his advantage, he might catch a couple o teeums wi the keks darn early dooers.

I don’t get carried away with hype of players I’d rather wait until I’ve seen them a few times.
I had my hopes dashed to many times with the likes of Jan Molby and Mido.

Well put Reds one very interesting situation of many.
Imagine us signing Jamie Vardy at his time at Stocksbrdge.
