2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Carlito]

I think if he's after the levels of cash he's been reported as being after then he's playing a dangerous game cos even on a free and given his injury record and his inability to score goals nobody will give him those kind of numbers.

Yeah, it seems like his agent could be overestimating the value of an impressive vertical leap.

I’ve forgotten what it feels like to have a striker who I expect to score a one on one.

I'd settle for a striker who's able to kick a ball properly tbh

I keep banging this drum too but his agent might be selling him the "go on a free and make a fortune" angle but nothing is guaranteed when it comes to Dom, he had 2 seasons of chronic injury problems followed by a season last year that was most notable for going 23 games without a goal. If he repeats any of the last 3 years his value likely drops not improves. No one is offering him a fat contract in 2025 on the basis of a good 2020/21.

Regardless of whether it's us or a move elsewhere he'd be better setting up his future by signing a contract this summer. I don't think any advice he's getting to the contrary is in his best interests.

Good luck ever getting that feeling again, cos Rom was it.

Are you telling me that you don’t expect Dom to score a one on one?!?

 

[DualityNSNO]

Think he wants 190k a week, bizarre really.

 

[Victus]

Heard he wants 250k a week.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Heard he wants 250k a week.

With a 100k goal bonus, which is a net total of 250k a week.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

With a 100k goal bonus, which is a net total of 250k a week once in a blue moon.

Ftfy

Trusted Mirallas and Naismith more in one vs ones.

Absolutely this. Another season like that and nobody will be lashing out 130k a week or anything like it, nor will he get an upwardly mobile move if that's what he is looking for. Nobody will give a lucrative, extended contact to a player with his injury and goals record.

I like Dom and think he might just have gone stale but he does get some important goals and is the best of what we have up front. Signing a contract wouldn't in any way stop him from moving, it's just a way of securing some minimum value for us.

I think Everton are the best he will do in his career and at his age, I'd be taking a contract offer if it's on the table. Despite all our travails, leaving Everton still doesn't work out for a lot of players, as Moyes once commented

 

[Goat]

Hell no, that's not his strength.

Plus it's about coaching and we have the worst manager in the league.

 

[whiteshadow]

Should have inserted a "shoot at the keeper" bonus in to his contract. Would have scored a ton.

 

[MikeH72]

Do you think a better manager could improve Beto and Chermo?
