2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Ferguson1878]

Walks off the pitch the round of boos with a broken cheekbone

Everton aren’t we

Was never gonna end well

I’m sure Van Dikhead agrees with this when Dom battered him in the derby

He did indeed win the derby duel. Pity he couldn't do it against most of the defenders in the other 30-odd games he played, isn't it.

Yeah coz football is that simple.

For the majority of the season he was left isolated; but yeah do more Dom

Perhaps not in those words, but that is the inference. He's not signed the contract he's been offered here, he's not agreed a contract with Newcastle who appear to be the only team interested in signing him, so reading between the lines, it suggest that's exactly what he's planning on doing subject to a better offer from us or someone else.

He’s looking for the best contract? What a jerk.

Not agreeing to the terms of Newcastles contract could be a number of things. Maybe he was told he wouldn’t be a starter, maybe they were offering him less than he’s already on, or maybe he just didn’t get the right feeling from Newcastle.

I would personally be suprised if he gets a better offer than Newcastle. Whilst he may not be getting 1st team football there, he's going to a side that is challenging for europe.

If his main desire is first team football, he could be getting this staying at EFC.

Reading between the lines, he wants to leave on a free & receive a handsome sign on fee next summer wherever he goes.

Whilst that is his perogative, it should not be accepted by the club or its fans/staff.

I have no issue with a player wanting to get the best possible deal, I just don't think we should be offering said contract to a striker that bags about 6 goals a season. Clearly neither does the only team who had shown an interest in him.

I don’t think that’s the correct analogy mate

Like the boy who cried wolf..

What does that even mean ?

Maybe he expected Dom to play on with a broken cheekbone

Waterfalls again in Dortmund.

Being 'isolated' has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that this lad continually misses chance after chance. It's perfectly reasonable to want a striker to score more than a handful of goals a year. Clinging on to players who continually prove to be nothing more than average whilst making every excuse under the sun for their lack of ability is just one of the reasons we've been a joke for years.

 

[Cels]

Personally, I think Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a decent enough player and have a feeling he will sign on the dotted line for us. I'm looking forward to seeing his link-up play with Dele next season.

Well it has a lot do with it; being isolated means less chances so expectations grow that the 1 chance he gets needs to be converted

It’s almost like better players don’t miss more chance.
