2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Dixieslaces]

I could be completely wrong, but under Ancellotti, day to day trying was very much light (ball work) in comparison to Dyche and under Lampard and Benetiz he was almost forced back before he could recover.

Im not convinced DCL can cope with the physical day to day responsibilities of being a top pro, with the demands this squad is expected to produce daily . Unless he gets specialised training I think he'd be better at a club where he's under less stress physically and can just turn up and play on a match day. He will have a better career that way. Where that is I don't know.

I hark back to the days of Duncan Ferguson, a perennially injured player, true in a different era of football but in the end, IIRC they sent him to a Specialist in the US and I'm nots sure it ever actually resulted in a better outcome(may need some help on this from those stattos in here)

We, as a a club always do right by our players and god knows we have a good few cases over the years even way back, the fear has to be that physically it will never be fixed and therefore we do need to move on a and replace and all being well he comes back as a back-Up until such time as he proves he has it or he moves on.

We cant afford another season of will he wont he, or as we say in my work a Daisy, Some daisy's in, some Daisy isnt!

Wish him well whatever happens but we dont have the luxury of hope.

Let him free

None of us are party to any medical information about DCL and even if we were, we wouldn't understand it. He'd cost £30 million to replace - minimum. We haven't got £30 million. So, I say, let's forget about him for now. Hope the club can get him back to 100% fitness in the not too distant. For once "he's like a new signing" would be apt, if we can get him back to the level of just a few years ago. Meanwhile, what money we have got we need to get as good a striker as we can get, whether bought or on loan. Otherwise, we'll be in a relegation scrap again next season

Don’t need any medical background to see he doesn’t play enough games I honestly don’t see him staying fit anytime soon especially in the premier league he needs to be gone so we don’t even consider the possibility of him being fit or laying any hope he’s coming back and going to produce anything for us. We need 2 strikers in regardless if he’s fit or not as he will only breakdown again

Always tries his best to be fit and available for us. His body is his enemy not you guys.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Who put 20p in this chode

Oh who’s just Woke up….

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Needs more back up / support / competition than Demari Gray, Simms and Neal Maupay, that is for sure.

Even if fitness were not a concern, solid options and competition are just so valuable.

Not his enemy but just need to be realistic he’s done nothing in 2 seasons we’re not in a position to be carrying passengers on or off the pitch it’s time to move him on wages can be spent elsewhere.

Who's buying him

Who's buying him

Yes that’s true, but whoever comes in needs to be his replacement

Don't think anyone on here is saying anything but that

Think he was just managed well in the later part by Moyes, brilliant impact sub and was able to give us a different dimension.

Don't write Dom off too soon

This is the major injury record of the Prems top goalscorer.
Plenty of others have come back to post really good records after injuries like Callum Wilson is now doing.

The problem always has been this club have relied on him rather than adding other goalscorers to the squad.

Be absolutely foolish to bin him only for him to get over his injuries and banging them in for some one else.

Those Shearer injury lay-offs are all about 5 years apart though. Dom seems to break down every 5 games or so.

Fixed

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Need to forget about him and treat him as a potential bonus.

For his own benefit if anything.

 

[Big Bad Blue]

Perhaps he'll agree to a cut in wages?
