2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

If he's going to London it must be a problem with his leg

I mean I do think we can assume it's probably muscular but I love how we're meant to assume that because he's gone to London... famous for only treating leg injuries lol

Heard its his ACL. Hopefully it's all a smokescreen to stop the impending Newcastle bid.

Everton can just say no to Toon if they come in with a bid; there is no need for a smokescreen that keeps your only striker out of the start of the season.

 

[BlueToff]

Socialist? Right wing? WTF you talking about mate??? ?

Dave hits Tories (rightly so). IMO criticising an elite athlete for having problems dealing with serious injury and then saying the answer is to 'get rid' (which he actually said closer to the time too) is a pretty Toryesque attitude.

Spot on.

Newcastle aren’t and never were going to bid.

i think they'd have come sniffing late in the window tbh, they're getting high-balled by everybody in Europe they try to go for and Etikete pied them off for PSG.

I don't think they will do now.

We literally have not heard from anyone reliable on the nature of the injury. Until we do, what's the point of spreading rumors and posting jarg twitter accounts?

And anyone slating Dom's character on the internet because of his injuries can screw right off, because that means you are a toxic person. Full stop.

 

[BlueToff]

I'd be going with Gray, Alli, Gordon up top for the Chelsea game

Tbf we've not got much choice.

We are in big trouble

Bobble is reliable but of course hasn't actually said what the injury is, just that he's off for scans. Even on their podcast he only repeated that. Whether that's because he doesn't know or because he just doesn't want to say, only he knows.

I am surprised that he didn't add that DCL isn't expected to make it through the night.

Nobody has a clue if he is injured but if he has an injury certainly no one has a clue how serious it is.

Because of his injury problems last season I expect the club are ultra cautious with issues he may have.

 

[Blue_Berry]

He had one really bad injury but he's had several other knocks before and after it. He's had injury issues ever since the mid point of the lockdown season and not had a long run of games since.

It's still far too early to know if he's going to have long term injury problems Tim. He had no specific or continual injury issues before his quad. It could be that the quad injury makes him more injury prone, or it might not.

But listening to the Oracle here telling us that DCL's career is over before it started and we should have got shut to anyone, because he has the insight of a consultant surgeon, I just wonder how he missed out on the opportunity to take the manager's role when the interviews were being handed out.

 

[Littlesue]

Why would Newcastle bid if he did his ACL?

Clue is in the word "smokescreen"

Mate, this has NOTHING to do with politics ffs.

Saw that accredited to him about heading to London for scans, but I didn't realize that came directly from Bobble on a podcast. Definitely more concerning until we hear more. Should find out soon enough I suppose.

 

[Billy Dean]

Where did Bobble say anything about London anyway? I can't see it on his Twitter feed
