2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Matelot]

Theres a reason we sold him for 100m.

But dont ever look at Linekers record.

I was 13 when Lineker left, only just got over it.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

He doesnt play for Everton mate.

Hes a fat mercenary these days.

He used to get knocked out scoring headers...now he's knocked out after after a large plate of Cannelloni's.

 

[bluestevon]

Id like him to stay , think we look a lot better with him in the team but we cant let him run his contract down if hes not staying get what ever we can for him 10-15 million we cant carry on losing money like that it has to change

Here's the crux of the matter though, we look far better with him in the team because the team is set around having him in the team.

With another starting cf it may be a lot different

More in jest than anything. However, if you want to wear the number 9 shirt, you need to score goals and it is this and only this that matters. His problem is that he hasn’t been doing it. In six of his eight years at the club he hasn’t managed more than 8 per year in all competitions…..

Good point Pete, my brother as you probably know does pieces for RBM, mainly analytical ones, DCL on his expected goals stats is f ing woeful., he's a target man they others feed on, as an isolated number 9 he's awful.

 

[Swartzy]

Does he refer to himself as the Archbishop of Banterbury?

West Ham are so irrelevant they have the word ‘London’ on their badge so people know where they’re from.

And don't even have their own Stadium, Instead they use one ( Also with London in the name )

 

[RomanReigns]

I would like to sit in a room with him just us alone 1 v 1 and ask him “why”

I will then listen to him and wipe his tears and hug him

 

[Zatara]

So there's no actual evidence he wants 160k a week then? Sound.

Evidence? Oh, you expect a press release.

True to form...how cute.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

True to form...how cute.

So you don't have evidence then. Nothing from the Mirror?

We've had the pleasure of having other CF's start, but the common denominator here is Dyche, who sets up his teams around a specific forward, which DCL happens to fit to a tee.

We could have Maupay up front and we'd still launch it forward - in fact, this has actually happened, as sad as it is.

Not as slander on Dyche or anything for this one, he has his preferred ugly style, whatever, but the team isn't so much built around DCL as it is built around a "tall, athletic forward who will go up against grocks for long balls for 90 minutes", which DCL is.

Aye that's the biggest worry about DCL going for me, we'd not adjust strategy at all.

I mean hopefully we will, but I'm putting it in the same hopium category as "we'll get attacking full backs and we'll start going forward consistently", and imho both have a very low chance of being true.

Hope any replacement does his first Everton photoshoot in stockings and suspenders to irk the very worst of our fanbase.

agreed my main point was off loading him if he has no intention of staying we need to either get him to sign even a 1 year extension of off load even if its half the cost of what we value him at in the last 7 years to many players have left by just running there contracts down i wonder how many clubs have had the same numbers like we have ?

Rs are in the same boat with Trent at the moment
