2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

It is bad planning, but they have been attempting to get another striker in. But they have limited funds, and as well as a striker, we needed, at the least, 2 midfielders, a wide player.

That's not counting the CB we got on a free and the LB we got on loan.

We also need those players to replace Richarlison, who offered a package worth about 3 players - a good finisher, a workhorse and a creative player all in one who could play anywhere across the front three.

We're doing all of this, or trying to do it all, on the back of a near relegation season, when money is tight and every financial move we make is being scrutinised. It's not an excuse, but it's where we are.

Richarlison was a creative player?

Log out for the evening and I come back to all this?

When's the funeral, then?

Everyone knows all the “big muscle” hospitals are in London…

If he misses Chelsea, and only Chelsea, it's really not that big a deal.

We still have Simms and Kean on the books yet could start the season without a striker in the team. Surely they know Rondon is not up to the task and DCL is sadly now an injury prone liability.

They simply must have someone lined up before deadline day, it's beyond belief if they haven't.

Are Simms and Kean really that poor that Rondon is our back up for injury prone DCL?

Yes.

 

[Street end man]

Yes.

Just a shame they never got the game time Davies and Gomes got to prove that point once and for all.

 

[Drumblue]

We went from moaning about the new kit, to moaning about DCL’s injuries, to moaning about all the injuries we get in training, to moaning about the board not getting another striker in. All in one day lol! Got to be a record for us!

Everton that.....

 

[Gardocki]

Just catching up. Is all of this based on one tweet about him maybe missing on Sunday or has there been further developments? Is there anything reliable to suggest it’s a serious injury?

 

[witchdoc187]

How long is he out for?

I mean Simms 100% isn’t ready for PL football; he’s a decent finisher but he’s far too passive in games. Kean had chances, was crap & didn’t want to be here but thankfully we’re getting a lot of money for him.

At the end of the day, with Gordon,Gray,Dele and Mcneil there has to be a glimmer of hope that a false 9 set up just may be possible and bring results.

I still think a striker will be brought in though before Friday.

You must be right and I mean that. Why else would Rondon be getting the nod ahead of them.
