2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[catcherintherye]

Without question mate. Always liked Jesus, think City was a poor move for him overall, he’s better than he got and was used there, I’m really tipping him next year, we‘l see. Mad that it seems City to raise these fund to accommodate Halland.

He’s worth about 70 mill to us. But not sure he’s a 70 mill pound player, he’s a good player, but not at that elite striking level or a killer like say a Vardy, he’s a Kane, one chance and it’s goodnight, certainly in two. Dom misses to much with ball at feet, unless it’s coming across in the box.

Personaly I’d keep him, because it’s the hardest thing in the league to get a striker capable of double digits and we have priorities elsewhere. But I’d be open minded next summer. He’s good at dimensions, but limited at others, but he offers a good bit, just not at that elite level. If we were 5/6th he’s at that level.

Part of me is tempted, because the only manager to get a tune out of him was Carlo, Sikva got some performances out of him but not consistently goals. So if he struggles next season under Frank I’d be very interested in cashing our chips, I actually think it could be a big season ahead of him career wise.

I think his value gets crushed if he flops next season mate.

I'm a massive fan of DCL and if he stays fit he can get even better. But honestly, if somebody paid us 60m for me the risk/reward spread would be sell all day.

Same as if someone offered us 50m for Gordon. I think we have to be more clinical on sales.

 

[Daytripper]

This.

Even if we dont sell, we have to improve that squad because there are no goals in that team, anyone who doesn't score goes down

A real lack of pace too. Hope that gets sorted out because it’s been a overly long issue.

Maybe I’m a bit conservative mate, I’d hold, to much change to quickly, just to much uncertain risk to take on this summer. We have a big fat 25 mill waiting to hit the accounts this year with Kean, so hopefully we aren’t pushed into a sale like Richarlison.

Defo wouldn’t sell Gordon, no way, no how, I’d question the actual point.

 

[ToffeeTim]

What if he gets injured? If we are pinning all our hopes on this one player we have problems

We need a Richarlison replacement badly. We can hardly afford to be needing to replace both our goalscorers. That's a recipe for relegation

 

[billyblue80]

It depends what happens with the money. If we use it to buy 2-3 players who can help us then it is a good sale.

You have confidence in that because I don't

Spot on

 

[Jebus_lives]

Keep him, get him fit and give him better service.

Dennis and Broja, if rumours are to be believed, will add goals around him.

The big need is CM.

Agree on his value. But considering the 1.5 mil outlay on him, I don't think we should completely beat ourselves up if he did flop next season and we could have made a pretty penny this summer.

For me it's quite simple now, we've just sold our best player so I really don't think we can afford to sell our number 9 with a really good goal return in this league right now.

Gordon, Gray and Mykolenko are all fast.

Equals sell our best players - relegation candidates before the season starts .....

 

[Joey66]

What we can agree on is this.

We have spend money badly. But if its 60m, (and I know wages come into things) but on fees we could get Gray, Broja and Dennis for a similar ish price.

And we still have no midfield ......

 

[Jeff Jones]

Losing both Richy and DCL would be a big gamble - effectively our only real matchwinners in a borderline relegation side.

That's my worry. This is the most depressing pre-season in my memory, and I'm hanging on to the hope that DCL can come back fully fit and carry on scoring goals as before.

He had James, Digne, Richo and even Coleman creating chances for him then, though, and they've all gone.

 

[Joey66]

Apparently they arent put off. They offered 30m for Wood. I live in hope.

You just don't like DCL ....

 

[Joey66]

What if we got Broja in.

Unproven a good buy, but a gamble we need midfielders first to create goals ......

 

[riddick]

£60m is a no brainer to sell and build a proper team from both big sales.

It won’t happen though because Newcastle won’t offer it.

Well.... And that we would most likely squander the money entirely.
