100%. Would rather he’d run over hot coals to eagerly sign it as soon as it was offered and asked us to reduce his wage out of a sense of duty, but we probably can’t afford or attract a better striker, for all his failings.
Same... hoping he signs. Keep him fit and add some pace / creativity around him and we will be much better off up top than last season.
Add to this an unchanged defence (get in a RB), and no reason why we can't have a half decent season.
Again.... Would be happy with a constant spine of Pickford, Branthwaite, Onana and DCL.

Picking the most injury prone player we have who also should not have been given a new contract seems a very low bar.

I could have said Gomes or Delle !!
Point being, DCL is not injury prone - he had a bad spell (due to bad management and bad luck) but has been fine otherwise. It is just more fake blues-news
Just about every player gets injured in their careers. Only a very select few get by unscathed.
DCL played most games for us last season , his biggest absence was from a broken cheekbone which we all saw happening against Villa.
I think he has as good a chance of playing a full season as any other player.

DCL is one of our best players, id like him on a new contract.
Lack of goals are a concern, but you have to have creativity around him, you have to have other players on the same level, or better, and you have to have a manager playing to his strengths. At present this isnt the case. Dyche strength is being hell bent on defensive cohesion without really thinking too much about attacking flair. This is obvious to anyone watching. He is the total opposite of Martinez.
Id be gutted if DCL left right now, without a proper replacement. Maupey and Beto isnt the answer.

DCL is exactly the type of striker that plays in Dyche's strengths.
Tall, pacey, good hold up target man. Can get on the end of crosses.
He is exactly what is needed for the main striker. Issue is he doesnt score that many and we just don't know if he'll break down again or whether he'll stay fit. It appears he may be over the sort of injury that kept him out.
If he doesn't sign a new deal, he will be sold otherwise his contract will run down & we will get no fee .....he has turned his deal down not just with us & Newcastle allegedly .....
I'd probably prefer him to stay for a year and then leave for free, I don't trust our backup and doubt we'll get much for him if we did sell him.
