2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[skumar55]

We need to sell Beto and Maupay, and sign 3 strikers in. I'd go for that one from Luton Town, scored a few for them.

Chermiti better be in the gym all summer working on them shoulders

 

[Bedfordblue]

Chris Wood would do DCLs job short term, at 32 though wouldn’t want to be spending over £8m on him.
2022 - NUFC paid £25m
2023 - Notts Forrest paid £15m

I really do like Dom, will be interesting to see how we play without him in the side, it'd have to be a massive shift of style because the other two cannot do his job.

Haven't we had ample time to see that.

….I really rate DCL the footballer and I really like DCL the man but we’re running a football club.

Years ago, I think I was first to suggest his thigh muscle problems would likely be problematic for his whole career and if ever his stock is high then a sale should be considered. There’s been times in the last 18months when we’d struggle to get a bean for him, but Dyche has managed him through games and his stock has risen.

With 12 months left on his contract, with no indication of him renewing and reports that he’s keen to leave then selling him is a no brainier.

The big problem is bringing in an effective replacement. Maupay, Beto and Chermiti have cost circa £50m and despite some suggesting the latter is the answer to our problems I’m not seeing any of those 3 being good enough.

 

[Goodisongang]

I'd still look to shift beto regardless of what happens with dcl, never a footballer him

 

[kiss the crest]

Like it or lump it DCL gets us up the pitch, last season we didn't look like scoring in a lot of games, so it is crucial we sort this out with new players, because players like Harrison & Young don't fill me with confidence.
McNeil is very hot and cold mostly cold as well

 

[blue in oxford]

NOOOOOOOOOO bad news if he goes one of the few class players we have will be a big miss

 

[Bob Elstone]

He’s perma injured.

When he got a run it took a peno to break his 20 plus game streak.

One year left, get rid.

 

[Trublue12]

He'll be great at Newcastle, lots of crosses for him. Will miss him here. No way to afford a player as good at holding up the ball. Still will be a healthy profit, on the £1.5 million. Plus he only has a year left. Can't afford to let players go for nothing.

 

[Joey66]

Strange move as Isak is very similar.
If DCL won't sign a contract then sell him and replace with Callum Wilson.
He's more suited to our defensive style anyway.

Isak is hot property - he must be getting sold ....if they are looking at DCL ?

Wood > DCL

I said we should have gone for him a season or so back.

We can do better though.

 

[DanEFC92]

Wonder what bum Thelwell will choose as his replacement

 

[pfim]

Two questions:

1. He'll need to be replaced. The other two, through inexperience or ability, have not shown enough to handle those minutes under Dyche. How much will his replacement cost.

2. How important is he to our league position? If we are talking about hierarchy in the table, not much. If we are talking about relegation, he's a 150 million player.

If his market value is below any of the above, there's a strong case to keep him.
