2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[canuckblue]

No, not in normal terms. But we're talking about a club that have already finished there summer shopping. So another Lidl Maups would be on the cards..

I thought Maups was already little...

 

[Nymzee]

I know he's not popular but I would be starting Beto every friendly unless Dom is signing that contract

To the detriment of the team?

 

[Kendal]

What detriment give Beto as many chances as DCL and he’ll score. No risk Beto will do more than someone who doesn’t want to be here .

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Barkley deliberately tanked a medical so that Chelsea could get him cheaper 6 months later, it’s not even remotely the same

I don't think it's fair to say that he "deliberately tanked" his medical

He was legitimately injured at the time and they decided to wait until they could get a discount

Even Stevie Wonder could have seen that scar on his leg

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Difficult one this

If he's not signing the extension then we need to make a decision on what we're doing

Either find him a new club and get the business done quick enough for us to sort out a replacement, or just accept that he's leaving on a free in the summer and let him have one more season

I don’t begrudge a player looking for the biggest salary possible but I’m really starting to hate DCL.

He seems to think he’s an elite striker based on the odd run of games whereas over the long term he’s on a similar level to Dean Windass.

Footballers are mercenaries. they only care about money so good for them if that's what they chase. But, i am an Everton supporter and kinda stuck with this club. as soon as a player wants out then i have zero f*cks to give about him.


Get shut of him and focus on those who are staying. it's not like he scores many goals.

I'm starting to think it'll end up being a similar deal to when Barry came here: a loan with an obligation to pay another fee if they decide to keep him.

Obviously, there's a risk they won't want to keep him beyond the loan.

So are clubs, get hundreds of youngsters to believe they can make it, at the expense of their education. Drop them at a moments notice. It’s cut throat, so I can’t blame players for not be loyal. As they see there mates in the youth teams get screwed over.

But I am with you make money off him, if he isn’t signing.

 

[hktoffee]

Will be gone on the last day of transfer window for like £22m.

 

[Toffeepot]

I think it's fair to say that showing loyalty and gratitude to a club for sticking by a player is a thing of the past.
The same has happened in the real world. People move jobs without a bother

Hope he has a deadline on signing that contract. Big test for Kev this, he's handled the transfer window well so far but this is a different kind of problem

 

[jackyboy]

Any movement?

 

[Timbucktoo]

Not sure we will get as much for him as some people are thinking. Who would fork out 20m and pay north off 100k a week for a CF that cant guarantee you 15 goals or more a season. I think if he goes it would be to a team that are really stuck for an experienced forward and are willing to take a chance that a change of club will see him hit form. Brentford could be such a club, with Toney running his contract down and they`re looking to cash in this summer and the guy they had signed got injured in pre season and will be out till the new year. They might even take Maupay back for another 12 months.

Thought it was nothing to do with his medical as all parties had agreed the sale?
I was under the impression Barkley and his agent just pulled the plug so the fee went down but his contract and commission went up.
Sure I read somewhere the agent got £7m when he moved later.
