2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

I agree but Isak is prob up there for best striker in the league and DCL is nowhere near his level. Also Isak is going to get better and this is DCLs prime

Also isak has had many injuries aswell he wont be going to them to be first choice would be rotated maybe even as part of a 3 with isak out wide some games

Am sure his model missus will love the North East.

Women eh , good lord

Be sad to see him score 60 goals in all comps for somebody else, but im sure we will do just fine with Beto up top.

Gets completely overlooked that Dyche and his team nursed him back from 2 years of injury hell

… that previous managers caused

 

[GoldenToffee]

A lot of big talk Dominic the last few months about what a privilege it is to represent Everton, etc. Don't sell your arse to Saudi head chopping maniacs

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Replacing Isak with DCL is an interesting one

In the 80th minute of every game.

 

[mikel_88]

Also would like to think dyche could keep him has put alot work into dcl.

If he leaves I'll be surprised if someone isn't brought in.

We are a better side with him in the team but he's not worth the wages he wants, sell now and hopefully it means we can avoid having to sell Branthwaite.

 

[Bez2k2k]

I love Dom but if he doesn’t sign then we sort of have to sell him. It’s too big of a risk to keep him and if we have a half decent season he may sign a contact. However the guy is now like 27 and I do understand he wants to go and try to fight for something instead of fighting relegation every season.

Hopefully one day in the near future we can be in the position where players actually want to stay and play for us. On the flip side I do think Everton should be doing everything they can to keep him. Tell him he will be captain leading us out to Bramley Moore, give him a big pay rise, whatever.

 

[Baggzio]

Can we not be honest and say this is the best possible outcome for a big sale this summer? I like the lad, and he's finished the season well, but he couldn't be relied upon for years and even now he's still not even a 15 goal a season striker, plus we have Beto and Chermiti already at the club, with Maupay coming back if we want to keep him for some reason.

I'm 100% behind this move and wish him the best of luck, we'd also be foolish to turn it down, especially if the fee is decent and will clear us out of financial issues.

And at the same time it shouldn’t be overlooked how much nursing was needed and possibly still is to get him playing games.

His long term prognosis needs to be a factor in this decision, is he going to require that sort of nursing along in the future?

IMO while it will be sad to see him go it was also a risk to even offer him a deal. If he broke down again months into a 4 year deal as one of our biggest earners we’d be screaming for Thelwell’s blood. Maybe this is the best outcome.

 

[Victus]

We would have to get another striker in, can't be playing a season with Beto and Chermiti up top and wondering why we aren't scoring goals.

If he’s not signing a contract, he’s got to go, doesn’t matter who it is.
He’s a handful when fit obviously but we’re bigger and better than he’ll ever be and if he sees his future elsewhere, so be it.
