2019/20 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Del-boy]

Obviously a nice lad, probably makes Macro a brew at Finch Farm and sweeps the changing rooms after training, can’t think of why else he would start nearly every game. It clearly has nothing to do with footballing ability.

It’s not shocking at all, he’s a championship player.

Mentioned previously, he’s one of those players who somehow got a gig in the PL (think Jay Spearing) but soon ends up at his natural level. He’s the reverse of Jamie Vardy.

I think people are being kind abt DCL being a 'championship' level player. Championship level forwards have to be good finishes too, decent footballers who can link play. He is none of those things, he might be relegation battler at best but I don't see it.

DCL is quick, but doesn't even use that attribute well, that's about it. I can't believe he's played 100 times for Everton.

Laughable that a proud club like ours has dcl as our number 9. Championship forward. We Will be at his level next season if we marco keeps playing him. Such an important position.

Actually, this is an important point....when you first saw DCL run out with the number 9 shirt on....didnt you have even a little sinking feeling.....thats what our once great club has come too....

 

[Papa Shango]

Remember when we should get rid of Lukaku because he was counter productive to the overall play and once he leaves we'd share the goals a-r-o-u-n-d?

Take me back to those days.

We were crap then too.

DCL is a developing striker, could have done with a loan. What he shouldn't be is first choice for a club looking to break top 6.
Failing to buy a proven goalscorer, a Dzeko or Mandzukic has resulted in over reliance on him.

It wasnt a little sinking feeling. It was a big one

Similarly ... Patrick Bamford, Jordon Rhodes.

I don't know how it works but I can't believe nobody told him "yeah, we didn't just spend £30m on a striker for YOU to be 9".

He doesn't score, he doesn't 'spread the goals around', we have kean a 28m quid striker on the bench. But still Silva keeps starting with DCL and we keep losing.

Well, he’s got 4 already this season.

When will people realise that he’s only 13 and needs time to develop?

Kean is not ready for the Premier League yet. Playing him would be a gamble.

DCL is going to make a lot of people in this thread look really stupid in the future.

He’s a decent player now, certainly premier league level but his ceiling is potentially really high.

I think he’s massively underrated myself.

I agree to a degree but sometimes he fails at even the basic center forward stuff, I think he needs to start showing improvements to get to the stage where you're thinking of.

 

[everton1953]

Even the big clubs try out a player to see how they develop. Eventually they bin them. We aren't a big club so players like DCL tend to get a lot more games before they get binned.

 

[overkill]

101 first team games for everton 84 of those in the premier league, you would think he might have developed more.
