2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

I could definitely see him going to Newcastle. I can’t imagine many better/richer teams being interested.

Not really a name that helps with the sports washing tho is it.

They won’t be after top tier players. They’ll do what we did and pretend we’re pushing lesser clubs around by overspending on average players.

They WILL be after top tier players.

They wont get them like, but you will get the odd fella like that Bruno who fancies the dough, hes not a top tier player by the way, but he was highly regarded.

Hmm maybe. I can see them maybe going after some top players and getting laughed at like we did with Mata and Witsel before swiftly moving on to Yannick Bolasie.

 

[Carlito]

Could you provide evidence of this claim please?

It's just bro scientist chat on bodybuilding/wrestling/MMA sites really, basically amounting to this:

There has only been a handful of cases of that. Its basically because steroid use can cause a displacement in collagen levels which in turn can cause a decrease in the strength of muscles, ligaments, and tendons. However lots of things can cause a particular injury.

It seems like it's very difficult to get authorisation for studies into steroid use for athletic purposes, so it'll only ever be conjecture.

I'm sure we've all got a list of athletes that we'd bet are/were users, though.

They have proper, proper F you money tho, we only had "crap club trying to be big mans" money.

I've got a bad feeling that they're going add to our embarrassment by making a decent fist of it.

I take it they haven't allowed the previous regime to carry on running the club day-to-day, filling key positions with their incompetent cronies?

That's what did for Everton.

As I said only a few reported cases over the years. Yes I agree with you mate, I work as a physiologist and you would struggle to get funding for research into anything steroid related unless its the medical kind.

…..I expect his stock has dropped a bit this season but he’s only just 25 and Englands back-up striker last season. Given the sums Grealish and Sancho went for, I’d have wanted circa £70m last season, £60m now.

I think £60mil would be very good business for us under the circumstances.

Unless he shows something like form this season I fear it may be £50mil at the top end.

DCL £50mil and Richarlison £75mil is what im thinking...

 

[Bkk Andy]

Could see him at Arsenal - I'm sure they wanted him when he was younger too - lucky we were sensible enough to keep hold even though he wasn't scoring much.

I definitely don't see him at Arsenal. They try and play football and DCL has no feet.

I think you are absolutely miles and miles off here.

….his join-up play is generally decent.

 

[bullybeef]

If we wants to go, let him go.

No room for sulks.

 

[Bkk Andy]

….his join-up play is generally decent.

His join-up plays typically rely on short layoffs when his back's to goal. He can't drop into a 10 and play incisive balls. Whilst he's great in the air he's a poor footballer. Would you back him with his feet more than 12 yards out? I wouldn't.

Would deffo sell. He overhyped on here
