2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Nymzee]

I'm beginning to wonder if we will recoup what we originally paid for him.
The old expression 'big girl's blouse' seems very apt.

You don’t think we could recoup £1.5m.

 

[Lanolin]

It is, but are you trying to tell me DCL wouldn't have a better chance of scoring if we tried to give him more chances in the six-yard box?

It wouldn’t matter how much we ‘tried’ to give him chances in the 6 yard box though would it? I mean I’m pretty sure that setting people up in the 6 yard box is something we’d probably be happy to have a pop at if it was on offer like, but unfortunately we don’t have the capability to do it.

Maybe with 'add-ons'.

 

[Lanolin]

I’m sorry but playing for City is way beyond his capabilities.

They create so many chances precisely because they don’t have some lumbering oaf up front. Every attacking player has superb technical ability, dribbling skills and movement. They all have tremendous work rate, dropping deep and pulling wide to create space for others.

Kane could fit because he’s a tremendous footballer. DCL, nowhere near.

The thing is, he’s not even that great at sniffing out opportunities like that anyway. If you look at lukakus goals in his last season here, not many of them involve great players by other people, there’s a load of tap ins from scrappy play because he just had that knack of being in the right place. It’s not luck, it’s a skill, and DCL just doesn’t seem to have it.

Maybe with 'add-ons'.

Maybe ‘accessories’ would be more appropriate

 

[NorthernBlue]

Think he has the potential to be forever known as a scab when this season finishes. Any return to goodison and he’ll be pulling a sicky.

Mailing it in during our time of need whilst prancing about in crap clothes and having dodgy talks with Arsenal.

This reads like they reported it to him in their interview

I just found out it’s from the Echo apparently, I don’t read their horrible , disingenuous coverage of the club .

Does this fall into the category of a 'tap up'? If true, does anybody believe The Gooners will face sanctions?
Me neither.

Me neither.

At the moment mate I couldn’t give a toss if it was or wasn’t.

 

[Thomasc]

Snap any clubs hands off for 40m

There was a report end of last season that the club were prepared to cash in on him while his stock was high, as they felt he had hit the heights he was going to already.

Looks like they were right.

 

[jinkyali]

Perception is everything.
Maybe I am a grumpy da on this but his people and him will have agreed for this to go out. It references an Arsenal transfer. It has quotes about him saying he wants to win major trophies in the near future.
Its not the first time his modelling and fashion shoots have been published.

There is clearly a considerable effort to alieveate him into some fasionista which is fine but it does allow his focus to be questioned. It has to surely?

DCL is becoming more known for his modelling than his football ability.

When that happens the balance is not right.

Oh look.

 

[Summer76]

To keep all his MOM awards and hattrick balls in?.

 

[maccavennie]

he’s not fit to wear the skirt.

Can you imagine the street end all belting out "your not fit to wear the skirt, your not fit to wear the skirt" lol
