2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Azza]

Let me guess he'll blow up his quad again during recovery of this injury.

 

[ZissouBlue]

?

Hahaha it's almost like we should have waited for an update before declaring him dead. Granted, the need to bring in multiple forwards isn't any less, but that was true before Dom got hurt and it has just highlighted the need. Needs to happen ASAP as we have some important matches in the first month.

That would be a result

But we still need an urgent signing. 6 competitive games this month....

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Fingers crossed Joyce is right. But it's a warning shot that we know we definitely need a good alternative nine, although I'm sure Lampard already knew that (hence the pursuit of Broja).

 

[hktoffee]

A month not 3 months. Feel better lads?

 

[Azza]

Law says up to 6 weeks.

That sounds like a guess to me. Surely that’s based on the same thing we’ve all read that ended with the conclusion that no one really knows yet.

 

[Sean0925]

Before I'd have said striker is a position we should be looking at but with DCL missing for a month it has to be the priority now last thing we need is another case of rushing him back and having to rely on Rondon 90% of the season again.

 

[Ring master]

May as well say early October we see him next, as there is a 2 week break after west ham game for Internationals

 

[ArtetaMoney]

You’re right, but the end of the window is still 4 or 5 weeks away, we’ll just be muddling through until then - that’s assuming they do actually bring another one or two in!

I’m being sarcastic mate, I agree with it all. It’s a shambles that we are in this situation.

 

[PhilEFC]

We haven't got a cheque book

We could get a Provi loan.

 

[Heratic75]

I guess first few games conflicted with his Hello! Magazine shoot

 

[Tony’s Carp]

That sounds like a guess to me. Surely that’s based on the same thing we’ve all read that ended with the conclusion that no one really knows yet.

Multiple journos now saying between 4 and 6 weeks so I guess they've all been briefed the same info subsequent to the statement.

 

[Drico]

Law says up to 6 weeks.

An Everton month is basically six months in the normal world. An Everton six weeks is "out for the season".

Don't really understand why a finer point needs to be put on an indeterminate period, but you're right that it's now being reported in that ballpark.
