2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Should have gotten what we could for him last summer. Insane to not factor in his wage demands and lower the fee we were asking. We could have the rapid Minteh on our right side and that DCL / Minteh change would put us on 7pts more i think.

He's downed tools and I dont think its likely he's planning to do that for the entire season.

He's doing an Anthony Gordon and I reckon he'll be at Newcastle for £10mil in January.
Won't Newcastle be watching him though? Surely they'd be wondering whether they want someone who's been slacking off for months and can't kick a ball straight.
 
Ball fell to him a few times edge of the box yesterday and you instantly knew absolutely nothing was coming from it. He will never score a goal from outside the box, any kind of curler, volley or thunderbolt - not a chance. Good athlete, thoroughly nice chap, but he's been here too long now for both him and us and both parties are suffering for it.
 
….players running down their contracts play for their own interest and lose their edge when the a game really matters. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knows exactly where he’s going next summer. He’s not the only one in contract limbo (players, manager, DoF).

Problem is we have no real alternatives. Hopefully Broja can fill the void, I know there are plenty who think Chermiti will be the real deal even though he’s shown nothing in his cameo’s so far. We really need one of those two to make a real impact.
 

….Dyche has given debuts to Armstrong and Dixon this season and given Iroegbunam his longest run of top flight first team games. Branthwaite has become a regular under Dyche and speaks positively about how he’s been managed.

Doucoure & Gueye both over 30 and arguably our best pairing reflects what Dyche has available to him. What youngsters do you want to see play ahead of them?

When Dyche says he hasn’t got the personnel to play 2 up front, I expect he’s referring to Beto. Beto has no idea what he’s doing so imagine trying to play alongside him, you’d be waiting a long time for the return if you try and play a one-two with him :lol:. I don’t recall DCL getting a touch after Beto was introduced so which youngster do you want to see paired with Beto?

These posts are fine if you can identify these fantastic youngsters that could turn our team around.
We send good youth players out on loan or sell them the USA left back now at Fulham typical of our youth development add to that Lookman a winger which we now miss....Carlos fetched Branthwaite to our club not Dyche ....it took him an age to introduce him ......favouring Keane ....
Maybe it's time for DCL to move on -
The sooner the new owners move in the better we spent money pre season Dyche & the DOF have to be blamed imo for our aging squad full of deadwood -the oldest slowest in the prem!

All out of contract in the summer.

5 players and a manager who wont be at the club.

Article in the BBC less than 2hrs after the game, probably with words from Prentice to whomever wrote it. Furnished by Stubbs as a mouthpiece for the inevitable departure of DCL.

…and hopefully a DoF ;) What a squad he’s assembled. No transition policy, Young and Gueye arguably our best performers this season, both old men and Out of Contract this summer.

Id be interested to know how you would do your shopping with no money and no credit?
 
The guy is an absolute coward in the box. When is the last time he got on the end of a cross, or even attacked one.. Beto is clearly terrible but at least shows a modicum of effort and a willingness to attack a ball put in the box.
Not going to say he is putting enough effort because i agree with you, but do we even put that many crosses into the box for him to go for
