2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

We will at least get some dosh to get other players. Looks like he doesn't want to stay

lol he’s got no choice

DCL has a choice....sign or don't

 

[Bkk Andy]

Let’s see where his ego takes him.

Hopefully our reserves if he won't sign and we can't sell him.

 

[DayL08]

Wonder if he would like a few years in Rome

 

[Walken]

I wonder if perhaps he thinks that he owes the club something after the painstaking job of returning him to fitness? It might have a bearing on his decision. He seems one of the more decent characters around the premier League clubs. I'd be disappointed if he decides to stay and rundown his contract. Sign or agree a transfer this window.

It's quite painstaking being the one returning to fitness, he might also be thinking he has a fragile career and only one shot at a big-ish move. Really hope he stays though.

Yep. And we were the ones that broke him in the first place, so…

 

[jazzy]

A fit DCL is probably as good a striker as we can afford/ attract right now so I'd like him to sign a new contract but if he won't he will have to be sold and replaced.

There is no way we can let him go on a free .

Mi

There is the solution of DCL re-signing BUT with a release clause that suits him and us.
To me, he doesn't perform consistently and takes up too much of the Physio's time and space.

Missed 6 games last season, 3 of them after sticking his head in and getting a broken cheekbone for which he got booed off

No problem with him getting his 'biggish' move, even happier if he signs an extension, I just don't want to see him run down his contract and go as a free agent next summer.

Indeed. Unless I've missed it, which admittedly may be likely, it appears if a lot of people are not considering our ownership saga and Dom's contract situation.

With the uncertainty behind the scenes over the last few months, could that have impacted negotiations? Could he be awaiting the outcome?

I think this is more likely than not, so with us securing survival and the ownership prospects looking more likely, I have a feeling he will still sign a contract with us.

There's a lot going on behind the scenes (not specifically just with Dom), so patience is suggested.

 

[GoldenToffee]

He owes us. Sign a new conny, Calvin.

Only scored 9 times (including 2 pens and 1 jammy goal v Burnley)

He owes us nothing. We completely mismanaged his injuries before Dyche.

 

[Mrbluenose]

Then I'm sure he can't wait to get away.

Agree to be sold and bugger off.

No running down the contract for more money in a years' time.

This is exactly it. We need to be business smart. Getting one more year out of DCL isn’t likely worth £20m to us.
