2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Daytripper]

I dont know if you agree or are being sarcastic.

No sarcasm. I think he has his attributes. Longer term I think we need a number 9 who is more clinical. I was watching a video today on Yakubu’s time with Everton, he had his faults too but I would love a finisher like that here for this season.

Fair enough, I think he had a poor season finishing wise last season, he had a few gilt edge chances he failed to put away, its when people say things like "he offers nothing" or "he doesnt care", thats when you know people have an agenda.

IF he stays, I just hope people can put away their hate for a season and get behind him.

Seems unlikely, but man gotta dream.

He’s a frustrating player. There are times he looks class , like the derby or the 5-1 away win at Brighton where I thought he had his best game for Everton.

Then there are times when he plays like the ball weighs about 15 stone. His decision making at times is terrible too, he showed the same lack of awareness for a simple ball across at Coventry that he did at Arsenal under Silva for Richarlison, both resulting in a weak near post shot.

You might not agree but I think if we are to really progress we need better than this fella, in my opinion an Everton number 9 should be a decent finisher and more consistent.

When a player is being used to point score between the fan base of who he plays for then something isn’t right.

IF we are really to progress, we need 8 new players, but more importantly, a new manager.

We can easily upgrade 95% of the squad we have now.

I don’t disagree, I’m simply saying our forward line has been a real weak point and needs changing to help substantially progress as goal return are a big concern.

Well, hopefully the addition of the 2 new lads can switch it up.

And a new centre forward hopefully in the next 12 months

We bought 2 last Summer.

I’m aware of that, one clearly isn’t good enough imo.

The law of averages suggests to me that neither will the next 1.

Oh well, the circus continues then

Toffee TV's Baz (I know he's not in the know) said United are interested in Dom.

He won’t score goals in a Dyche team unless it’s from set pieces. Which we have plenty of centre backs to do that. We d be better off with a striker that’s better on the ground and more clinical with his feet. Dcl be far better in a team that’s on the front foot and can get quality balls into the box like we had with Carlo

would probably be a stop gap for them on the cheap
Can't see it as a good move for him tbh but as long as we get something if he won't be signing
