You think Calvert Lewin has great attacking movement?
FFS.
I think his main attribute is his physical strengths, hes an athlete and a complete beast physically.
If somebody tells me that he has terrible movement, theres not a chance im even gonna discuss things with them further.
For the money that's being talked about, it should be doable.
He has a worse PL strike rate (0.27) than the likes of Ings and Wilson (both around 0.36), though he's still quite young.
As a keen procrastinator, I'm currently having an interesting time looking at these stats on the PL site.
Yakubu and Viduka have an identical rate (0.38), as do Lukaku and Hasselbaink (0.44). Robbie Keane's is the same as Ings and Wilson's (also Gabriel Jesus), but better than Defoe's (0.33).
Henry's (0.68) is better than any of Aguero (0.67) Kane (0.65), Suarez/van Nistelrooy (0.63), Shearer (0.59), Owen (0.46), Ronaldo/Cole (0.45), Fowler (0.43), Rooney/Ferdinand (0.42) Drogba (0.41) or Torres (0.4).
I make that three hours I've been on lunch now.
It being dobable isnt the issue.
Sure, you take DCL goal record out of context and its trash, but then apply the context, hes played in complete rubbish Everton teams, suffered injury last season. Had ZERO service all last season.
Meh, im not doing this all summer.
For me Dom is a great number 9 and if we built the team to his strengths we would win the league.
He will never be given a fair crack by this fanbase, no matter what, peoples minds have been made up, thats fine, the world would be boring if we all agreed like sheep.
Could we replace him with a better player? Bar about 4 or 5 players in WORLD FOOTBALL, every player can be improved on, will Everton, whoops there goes 500million, replace him with a better player? God no.
But yeah, im not defending the boy all summer, if he goes, shame, but money, money, if he stays, I really hope a lot of people can get right behind the lad.
