2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Goat]

I love Dom as a human being, but I can understand why the horse punchers are underwhelmed.

They are about to replace a striker who scored 21 league goals in 30 league games with one who scored 7 goals in 33 games. We’d be horrified as well if that happened to us.

Agree.

I love Dom, but I would cry if we replaced Isak with him as well.

 

[jazzy]

Surprised at just how horrified Newcastle fans are with the prospect of signing him.

They absolutely hate the idea...

So would I if he was replacing Isaak

 

[MJA]

I can understand why. I don't particularly rate isak, but it is one hell of a downgrade.

Why dont you rate Isak?

He's got 8 goals from open play in 3 years.
Yeah its a mystery.

I think most of them haven't seen much of Dom, either.

Many of them will have formed the bulk of their view from his stats. They'll look at his numbers - particularly goals and injuries - and see little of promise.

People glance at Wiki.

Or the narrative is set - struggling relegation team, lack of fitness and headlines around xG.

I get it, but it's lacking/short term.

He looks over his fitness problems that Everton compounded, and Everton have been a basket case.

As is Newcastle wanting him then.

And Milan looking at him to replace Giroud.

 

[trueblue84]

Come again?

You don't rate Isaak?

Why dont you rate Isak?

Maybe a poor choice of words. I mean I'm not a fan. He's obviously a good player.

Are the Milan links genuine or is that just the papers putting 2 and 2 together because they need a Giroud replacement?

You asked why Newcastle fans hated the idea. It would be similar if Everton were in for a striker with those same stats.
My take on him has always been the same. You cant get a season out of him without either injuries or a goal drought.
I mean its nailed on he leaves and turns into Marco Van Basten.

He’s a good player for sure, but definitely unfulfilled potential. My main beef with selling him is my lack of faith we’ll replace him. I mean apart from Lukaku you’re doing back to Duncan Ferguson to the last time we had a good striker and even he never achieved his full potential.

They're Newcastle fans. Not the brightest.

Wasnt that miss where he chested it down and somehow vollied it over against newcastle as well?

if it was, probably what sticks out most to them ( that and his poor goal record )

in a nutshell, they'd be replacing an injury prone striker who always scores goals, with an injury prone striker who doesn't.

Used to be they loved nothing more than a good old-fashioned number nine. Lost their values.

If you take the glasses off for a minute.

What would YOU say if we were linked with spending 37 million quid on a fella with 14 league goals in 3 seasons?

 

[MACCA75]

Why does anyone think they would replace Isak with Dom? They aren’t insane.

He would be a Wilson replacement if anything.
