He has improved and since Silva has gone he’s been scoring and everyone can see that. But people being called out as wrong about him because of five games is premature. Drogba comparisons aren’t really relevant either seeing as drogba was immense at holding the ball up extremely well and was always bullying the whole back line. I know he’s only 22 but even in his early days drogba was a massive presence and goals came for him later.
I don't know if you realize how all the things you've said about Drogba apply to DCL but they kind of do.

Bullies the backline? Yep.
Holds the ball up? Check.
Massive presence just rounding into goalscoring form? Yes that one works too.

I really think you've made the opposite case of what you intended too.
 


Some of the posts back here were just outrageous... nsno Chris, orly, Armani God, tbf tel001 you did actually tone down vs others....

How much is he worth right now??

I would be loathe to sell him for £50m... even if he doesn't reach proficient levels of finishing his general forward play is niche level.... we seen a fit Andy Carroll demand that our defenders were switched on for second balls and this lad has loads more in his locker.

In 18 months he will probably be a good 5kg heavier, stronger, and he's already bullying established centre halves.

I said when we sold lukaku that we should have taken Rashford in part exchange. DCL and Rashford would be an outrageous partnership.
If Andy Carroll could have played 38 Prem games a season, Kane, Rashford and their likes wouldn't have gotten caps!

He doesn’t bully them like drogba tho . He used to bring balls under control that he had on right to win. He was so much more imposing and powerful and the defenders knew he could score from anywhere inside 30 yards. DLC has had 5 games mate so “ coming into goal scoring form “ doesn’t really apply until he produces it consistently. He has more pace than drogba maybe but his all round presence and physicality is not anywhere near

We will definitely see but I think his current goal scoring is sustainable. Not the 1 in 1 rate from this month obviously but his yearlong scoring level is not a fluke.

Like you say we will see and if he can get 12-15 league goals a season then that is a decent return in this league.
 
no thats u being silly again bud when it would have been easier to copy and paste what i wrote to not seem a bozo.

I’m a bozo? Because why exactly? Because I said he’s shooting is crap? It is. Look in this thread before the derby mate ... Neale y everyone on here was tearing him to shreds or saying they have given up on him. That was 5 games ago. We have been playing g with him up front for 3 years mate and we have been crap and suffered because of it. He’s started scoring goals for the first time albeit for only a short time and now everyone that doubted him is wrong ? Lol
