2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[yakublue]

Stick him in the reserves, hope we don't see him anywhere near the team again.

Useless dope

Is this serious?

 

[yakublue]

Hope he’s dropped today
Just for his sheer disinterest in the previous game’s thinking he was off

He wasn't the only player who played badly in the first 2 games, not sure why he's getting so much stick

Bit of a weird one. He cost £1.5m, looked a good prospect who was developing well, started banging in goals, then tailed off via injuries, loss of form and the realisation his goal streak was the exception rather than the norm.

The time we could realistically get a good price for him was the end of Ancelotti's second season. Been downhill all the way since.

Chuck in the lack of love for him amongst many, who actively want him sold whilst simultaneously saying he's worth about 50p, I find this thread a fascinating mix of contradictions.

Who knows, maybe this will play well for us - it might give him that kick to play out of his skin to secure his next deal elsewhere, be it a sale in Jan or signing a pre-contract in Jan.

Or maybe he'll get injured again and end up in the Greek/Turkish league at the end of season

Either way, this thread will remain fascinating. Truly fascinating.

He`d do well in the SPL, either Rangers or Celtic.

Although Rangers would be much more fun, as it would boil the head of you know who.

Because he's the only 1 in the 11 that doesn't wanna be here and refusing tk sign a contract which is fine on its own, but not when followed up with half arsed games

See I do agree he was disinterested and thought he was off- but receiving no interest at all towards the deadline is the biggest boot up the arse going and I’m interested to see how he responds on the pitch.

If he wants the move he thought he was entitled to he needs to up his game on the pitch. So if he gets complacent or disinterested it’s his own future he’s setting fire to.

Score some goals ffs.

That's your opinion mate, which is fine. Mine is that the whole team has been poor so far this season. Don't see any particular evidence that DCL was the only one not trying.

Nah , just play Beto he's atrocious but at least he wants to play for us.

Yep. Crap.

 

[Gilbert..]

Lets see some fire in his belly today.
Shop window Dom. Shop window.

I’m sure he had made up his mind he didn’t want to extend the contract last season or even earlier and he’s still by far and away our best striker. Despite what a lot of posters say in here, I’ve never thought that he couldn't be arsed.

Im pretty certain several players would much rather be elsewhere.

 

[davek]

Get your skirts packed. You're out.

 

[HappyJack]

Bang average and not Premier lge by a long way. Was watchin Luton v Qpr yesterday i doubt hed get in either of those teams.

For some context, Mr Gang is Dom's premier hater. It's a fine accolade and he's beat off stiff competition for the award.

I noticed that @GrandOldTeam has launched a line of t-shirts in his honour (available from the forum shop alongside many fine jigsaws).

Correct the others played badly

Dcl walked round like he was making the numbers up he didn’t play he turned up at best
