2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[davek]

The manager looked mischevious when asked about his availability by Sky Sports post match. "We'll see".

Possibly he doesn't want Brentford to have any idea which way it'll go.

TBH, I dont expect anything out of Calvert-Lewin. And I think we can find a way to get all three points next week.

I'm not sure we have the time for him to get fit, up to speed or can even count on him banging enough in to help us out, on previous evidence it has to be a serious doubt that he can bag enough?

Also, the pressure on him is gonna be immense, if there is a mental health issue and he gets back in and fails, he makes himself a target for the angst, amongst others in the team.

It's a terrible situation all round as far as football goes.

I'm no fan of him as a footballer but at the same time if the lad is suffering from issues, is this the situation he needs or even wants to jump into and its only gonna get more intense.

It was clear he was out for months, the club are stringing the fans out week by week as it keeps the pressure off about not signing a replacement.

If they’d have come out and said he was out 2/3 months from the start it looks ten times worse.

That’s exactly what it is.

Pure spin once again to try to mask the gross negligence that’s slowly strangled this club to death over a period of 20 years.

Hes too sexy for this club, too sexy for the club. So sexy it hurts his leg. Put him on the stage. BK Presents that's why they call it the blues. Starring DCL, Tom Davies with choreography by Carlin, Darlin.

I know it's a lot of maybe's, but... Maybe Everton blocked a move he wanted in the summer (or whenever) Maybe he's rather miffed about it. Maybe someone from t'other club had a quiet word about A: Get your injuries sorted, and B: drive your price down... and if you do we'll be back in next summer, and you'll get your move.... Or permutations on that sort of thing.
Just a thought to add to the plethora in here.

Free up on the wage bill and get rid of him. There’s no sense keeping him around if all he is good for is sitting on the bench. It’s time we stop living in the past and thinking about the what ifs.

He's finished as a top level player unless he returns and plays well for us.

Male models don’t get paid that well apparently.

it’s true it was a waste of my time

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

I personally think he made a pact with Rafael Benitez to ruin the club, so is faking injury to make sure we get relegated. He didn't mean to score that header last season. That's how bad his aim is.

Another jokey total brush off of questions as to when he is expected back post match. I don’t know if this is because they don’t know, or whether they are being ultra careful, or whether they are protecting the player by trying to ensure there is no deadline or pressure to return if there is a mental health element.

But it’s on the verge of backfiring. It’s too cryptic. Could argue that the club don’t owe the fans anything, but I think they do. Need something to cling on to. Would rather them say at least another few weeks. At the moment it could be either next match or May 2027.

More or less word for word what I was going to type, you’re spot on.

I’m getting very tired of the cryptic ambiguity surrounding DCL and the injury, and I really don’t see how it helps him or us tbh. I really don’t get it.

 

[SJB]

If it's MH related my thoughts are with the lad. Come back to nights like this Dom.

 

[riddick]

Once again, anonymous. Didn't even hear his name called once and he wasn't celebrating with the lads in the goals.

 

[Joey66]

We need him back asap even if he can come off the bench .....
