2018/19 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Cameron Manning]

Strangest thing about this forum is the irrational hatred for him, agree he's not the best but some people take it to the extreme

What’s not to like about the lad, just on twenty two, improving every season he’s been here and will continue to improve, if he was sold now, which plenty want, he’d go for no less than £15M , if he goes in a couple more years he’ll go for £40M
and be called a traitor by those who don’t like him now.

 

[Neiler]

Was that his fiftth goal of the season yesterday, have to say hes contributing, been more impressed with him of late.

 

[Bluepablo]

He has something - good finish yesterday, great header against Spurs which should have been allowed - & is improving. We should be supporting not criticising,

 

[Joey66]

Just remembered his wrongly disallowed one against Spurs actually. If you were to be pernickety and include that then he has the best goals per minute in the Prem out of the whole squad this season.

Can't finish though

You have contradicted yourself therelol

 

[dano195]

Very much an impact player. I can't praise this lad enough and hope he comes good. I now don't think a loan for him is best, i think he needs to work hard coming off the bench or starting when given the chance and prove his worth. Rough diamond potentially.

 

[Tel001]

So you would rather have a 28 year old, costing anything between £60/80k pw depending on who you believe, with absolutely zero potential for development, than a young England U21 regular on probably half the wages, playing at possibly 50% of his potential.

No, I’d rather have neither

No, I’d rather have neither

Then I don't understand the point of your post.

 

[DixieDigne]

Genuinely reckon he could become a top striker for us. As long as the boo boys give him a chance

 

[Parker]

Then I don't understand the point of your post.

What he is trying to say is that he has made his mind up that DCL is a terrible player precisely 4 minutes and 37 seconds in to the players first appearance for the club and there is absolutely no chance of him being swayed by any sign of improvement. Thus is the GoT way.

 

[Tel001]

Then I don't understand the point of your post.

Meaning e already have one crap striker and we don’t need two

 

[zook]

He's improved in every regard since his debut and puts in 100%. He's came on massively in both his physicality and technical ability and if he continues then he's developing into a very good centre forward in my opinion.

The main worry in my eyes has been his lack of composure in front of goal but from what we've seen of him this season that seems to be another area that he's improved - proven in how calmly he slotted the second against Bournemouth.

Great option to have for away games and a great impact sub to trouble defenders late on. Utterly baffled as to how there's a decent few of our fans that like to get on his back and write him off instead of getting behind a young lad that's obviously working very hard to iron out the issues of his game and is proving to be a handy asset for us.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Turning into a substitute only option. Hasn't taken his starting opportunities and seems to have a better record from the bench.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Was that his fiftth goal of the season yesterday, have to say hes contributing, been more impressed with him of late.

He cost a pittance and is a great impact sub with a decent goal return yet because he’s not Kane Lukaku or Aguero people are fuming.

 

[Nymzee]

I want bloody more for £1.5m ffs

 

[peteblue]

Took his goal really well. Consistency is what we need from him now, and a bit of belief in himself. I’m still unsure about him tbh but I hope he does well...........
