2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[ToffeeScot]

I'd expect him to sign a deal which was 3 years plus an option of a further year. That gives us both wiggle room in terms of him leaving but also keeping him at the club.

 

[MACCA75]

Would miss his 6 goals next season but hopefully we could replace him.

 

[Carlito]

The club probably can't afford to let him go for nothing next year if he doesn't renew now, but I can't say I'd be confident that he'd be adequately replaced.

I'd lean towards keeping him next season regardless.

 

[windymiller]

We need to tie him down to a new deal. With 12 months left on his contract we won't get enough of a fee to replace him adequately.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

No, we couldn't.

 

[MJA]

Needs to be kept as we cant bring a decent enough replacement in without a bean to spend.

 

[pfim]

Needs a new deal or needs to be sold. He's healthy and 27 years old, we can't afford to let assets like that walk away for nothing.

 

[tsubaki]

If we have to sell, I hope we are sensible and realise that we already have the replacements (Beto and Chermiti) here.

I don’t see either replicating what DCL brings to the team. Particularly Beto unfortunately as I had high hopes.

Hahaha.

That's NOT sensible.

 

[Titus Bramble]

No we don't...

 

[blueblue]

When fit and playing well he is one of the better strikers in the premiership for leading the line.
His fitness this season has been very good and it was the knock to the face against Villa which kept him out for the longest period.

I really hope he signs an extension but I fear he will not and we will be forced to sell for a decent offer because we can't afford to let him go for free next summer.

Chermiti getting more time on the pitch makes me believe he will have a far bigger role to play next season.

 

[tsubaki]

I don’t see either replicating what DCL brings to the team. Particularly Beto unfortunately as I had high hopes.

No, but I think Beto will benefit by being first choice if DCL is sold. We will have to play in a different way but that may not be a bad thing at all.

For far too long we've had a #1 striker (first Rom, then DCL) but have spent a lot of money trying to back him up without it ever working, because the players in question knew they'd be second choice.

Are you not concerned that we have spent well in excess of 200million to replace Dom and hes still very much the best Striker at the club?

He was injured for almost 2 seasons and we had 2 very close relegation battles, in the season he stayed fit the team "finishes" around 10th?

Clearly I overrate him, happy to admit that, but there are a lot of people who really underrate what he brings to the side.

Agreed.

He's a frustrating finisher, but his all around modern striker play is top shelf.
