2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[davids]

Prices of strikers just gone up by 30 percent for us in the last hour.

 

[Rich1878]

Typical

 

[Eggs]

The last time we went for a striker we got Derek Hatton instead

….no, he was a left winger.

 

[lancs blue]

Typical should have flogged.

 

[BlueToff]

Trying isn't good enough though. This is top level professional football, you get nothing for just trying. You need to find solutions that work.

I agree, but that doesn't mean we get to act like they aren't trying, because they are

 

[BlueToff]

How anyone makes excuses for that sham player I dont know.

A no show when we needed a striker last season.

Thank the Lord we had Richarlison or we'd have been in the Championship right now...where Calvert-Lewin really should be ploughing his trade in all honesty.

HE WAS INJURED

He broke his toe in pre-season, a sofa fell on his foot (his fault). He didn't train but played through with painkillers. He did his quad against Brighton. The love of your life Rafael rushed him back against medical advice, he aggravated that injury and was out for four months.

He then kept getting little niggles as his body recovered.

And he literally scored the goal that sealed our survival.

Hmm doesn't sound good, hopefully it's not his quad again ?

 

[Jadubsee]

Guess we will heave to play Dele at CF on Saturday, there's quite literally no one else.

 

[willjo]

What's Steve Watson up to these days?

HE WAS INJURED

He wasn't just injured though was he?

The bottom line is that we cant rely on this player. I'm sure this will be a couple of weeks out, but it'll recur.

We need to ideally get two strikers in and get shut of Rondon...and look eventually to get shut of DCL.

That's what any functioning and serious football club would be looking to do...Look for upgrades.

Of course, Everton will just persevere...

 

[BlueToff]

Funny thing is even if we'd kept Richarlison, he'd be suspended for Saturday too.

What else was he?

You have zero idea how long it will be.

Younhave zero idea how long it will be.

We know he was suffering with mental problems.

Yes, he was injured.

That injury was really bad, and as he tried to get back to fitness - despite the Fat Pig Man insisting he'd come back just fine - he kept getting niggles.

He might never be the same again. Everton do need another striker, they would like one, they would very much like Armando Broja. They wanted (maybe still want) Gibbs-White, who played CF for Sheff Utd at times. I'm sure there's other targets. The window hasn't shut yet.

 

[BlueToff]

We know he was suffering with mental problems.

Yes, because he was in a dark place because of the constant injuries.

And your answer is to just get shut?

For someone who claims to be a massive socialist you don't have spout some right-wing rhetoric Dave.
