2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[allen]

Or did Newcastle try to sign and failed.

That’s the point, isn’t it?

We don’t know anything, really.

People bring their own biases towards a player like DCL and forge their own narrative of betrayal or victimhood depending on their perspective.

It’s probably neither. Just a bit of business.

Given his propensity to breakdown I can't see him trying too hard next season. If he's running down his contract he will be looking after himself, not doing anything to risk his bumper pay day.

Just want him gone now. At this point best for all parties if he moves on sooner rather than later.

Why would you think that. He has played through injuries to his own detriment. He was boo’d off after breaking his cheekbone.

Honestly, tough crowd

Anything over £30m would be unreal.

Dom money already being spent

To answer your question.

If he's running down, his priority is on his next contract, not his current club.

Now, those two will occasionally align. Play well = get better offers.

However, he will be holding back so as not to risk any offers through injury. If he signs a pre contract in Jan he won't give a sheet about Everton.

Truth is I would like a no.9 who is talked about because of his goals, not his outfits.

I have no doubt of his commitment to the cause. Have never seen him not committed and don’t expect this to change.

Re other comments I will ignore them

 

[Toffeepot]

I'd be disappointed to see him go but if he won't sign he's got to be shipped out. No room for sentiment. Hopefully he's been given a deadline to sign by and we know where we stand then

Wonder who would do that

If he's walking about in a skirt whilst still not scoring in umpteen games he will look a bit silly TBH.

Not as silly as people who defend a non-goal scoring striker, in a skirt...

TBH.

The clique sticks together, unsurprisingly.

Happy for Dom to sign a contract, if he delivers on the pitch rather than fannying around off it in a skirt.

Happy for the club to cash in if he won't.

Can't be letting a commodity leave for nothing.

35M for skirt boy?!

Snap their hand off!

@NoteToSelf

Surely the magnificent Callum Wilson should be attracting far more top level interest?

I'd happily keep him at Newcastle to the end of his contract. He's definitely still good enough to play in the Premier League for at least one more season, maybe two with the right players around him. That said, he'll want some certainty and I can't see him getting an extension at Newcastle.

One or two seasons could be long enough for Beto and Chermiti to find their feet...but considering Evertons recent experience with older strikers past their prime (*cough* Rondon) I wouldn't blame you for being underwhelmed.
For a low cost transfer, I think Everton could do worse.

If he does go Id rather replace him with a more Watkins type like this guy:

 

[Nymzee]

This was released today but don't know when it was filmed. Ornstein says "if Everton still need to make a sale".

Make your mind up you're saying we do elsewhere.

He doesn't know anything, he just says whatever his bosses tell him to.

 

[Goat]

He doesn't know anything, he just says whatever his bosses tell him to.

I firmly believe that there isnt a human in the entire world who knows if we have or havent.

And yes, I include everybody at Everton in that.
