2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Mrbluenose]

I think I was blind sided by Carlo's tenure
Just assumed it was injuries and confidence thereafter but he's had enough time to show otherwise
I can't see any justifiable reason why he can't put that derby performance in on the regular but he clearly won't

So it isn't the culottes and I don't feel foolish about probably getting it wrong either

None as blind as those that will not see, and all that...

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Not watched any of pre-season but would suggest not drawing any conclusions from it.

Can we draw conclusions from his performances last season?

 

[Llyrap]

Whilst it seems that he is holding us for ransom he is taking a huge risk himself. If he doesn’t leave this summer then his injury record will come under scrutiny on a Bosman. He either leaves or I can see him signing a contract with a release clause.

Not watched any of pre-season but would suggest not drawing any conclusions from it.

His failure to score a goal in July probably wouldn’t draw as much attention if he hadn’t also failed to do so in November, December, January, February and March.

 

[MikeH72]

Arsenal will be along any minute with the Smith-Rowe loot bag lads.

 

[PhilEFC]

If he wants out we need to make it clear by not playing him in the remaining friendlies.

I’m having to go to the Roma game with the missus and two kids 2 which will be hard enough, so I can’t be bothered watching him runaround half arsed with his ripped socks.

 

[Daytripper]

The main chance he had yesterday when he intercepted a bad pass, it was similar to a chance at Arsenal years ago under Silva when all he had to do was square it for Richarlison but again a weak near post shot. A simple square pass to Ndiaye and he had a great chance to score.

Good point...

Can anyone please explain this 'ripped socks' trend. I just don't get it...

I think it’s fashion mate. Like the little shinnies some of them have.

 

[Bluerover]

I'm gauging his performances over the whole time he has been here.

Simply not good enough, or doesn't care - undecided which, or maybe its both.

Think its to do with tension release in the muscles,or could be like ripped jeans years ago ment to be cool

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Aye.

But a meltdown over his pre-season is a bit silly.

Explained: Why do footballers cut holes in their socks? | Goal.com UK

Footballers have a logical, scientific reason for cutting holes in the long socks they wear during games - GOAL brings you everything you need to know

www.goal.com

Players generally cut holes in their socks in order to reduce pressure on the calf muscles, which are often restricted by the form-fitting, snug nature of the garment.

For players who have bulging leg muscles, socks can prove particularly restrictive, causing difficulties with effective bloodflow and circulation, as well as breathability.

Therefore, players will often move to cut up their socks, in order to remove the problem and help improve their game.

I don’t think he should be on £100k either mate.

I don’t think any footballer should be on more than £100k but hey it is what it is. Over inflated on all fronts.
