I really like DCL. At this stage, though, I fear he is already in the Iwobi mindset. Essentially, there’s been too much water under the bridge with Everton fans for him to renew his contract, so a) he doesn’t sign, barely scores from now until May and then leaves on a free, or b) Moyes rejuvenates him, his form picks up and attracts a whole host of new clubs…and still leaves on a free.
But what if TFG already knew he wanted to leave & did the following: Roma bid £10m for DCL. Lower than his potential value, but higher than Everton losing him for nothing in May.
Everton get some compensation to help with PSR/transfers
Roma get a proven PL striker at a knock down price
DCL gets his move to Serie A
TFG protect their asset
Win win for everyone?
