2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Blue peter]

Pep is already considering playing Scott Carson as a hybrid number 9.

No he’s being played as a false goalie

 

[billyblue80]

It has been stated many times that the stumbling block was the fee Everton wanted NOT what Dom wanted.
Honestly, the witch hunt in here has gone mad, the made up stuff not from you, but in general is daft.

If thats true the club is nuts

 

[Blue peter]

I’d withdraw our offer to him and place him under some pressure. Hell either have to drop his sage demands at a new club to get longer term security which gives us more transfer fee potentially, or he won’t get anywhere and will see out of his contract so we at least have him for the season (for what that’s worth).

I wouldn’t be messing around with contracts with him, injured or not, his fault or not, between that and his onfield performance his market value can’t be great.

Joseph....hatred is a poor choice of word.
I've never hated an Everton player, ever, in over 50 years.
I don't rate him....likewise I don't rate others in the team, but this is the DCL thread, hence I'm talikng about not rating DCL.
It's a really simple concept to grasp mate.

If you pick on one player continually it hatred IMO with a team that under performed & produced one corner - as I stated two players performed the rest were abysmal not just DCL - that's my point - we deserved what we got a hammering could have been 4-6 against us & our keeper never had a bad game - defensively a shambles - two slow poor fullbacks one sent off - Keane was OK in the air but slow on the ground his biggest achilles heel of a player on top wages by the way with Doucs who was static again on top money -

Tim from Villa was our one-man midfield -

Then the two slowest wingers in the prem - we hoofed the ball to Harrison, who can't beat a man ?

DCL was knackered & subbed may have won us a penalty - oh & by the way when the referee went to look at the monitor it was not working blank screen he asked what should he do - VAR just stated disallow it any rate - allegedly ....

Even if DCL had slotted the pen away something Beto cannot do - I think we would have got beat, but maybe a closer margin .....

I dread Spurs away next - but my late father always told me have a moan, but think of our next game I have watched the blues since 1962 - Joe Royle replaced the GV - he got stick from older fans I just told them to shut up standing at 6ft 2 -

He proved me correct, look at my avatar .....

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

He's very well connected at Newcastle, so suspect thats what happened. No doubt it will all be DCL's fault as usual though.

Hes very much a saudi mouthpiece. Bobble and Co are very well connected to everton and they weren't of that opinion

 

[John from Bootle]

If he's gone to them now saying "sell me" we will have to lower the price.

This might be true to an extent, but if he wants to put in a formal request, then it normally comes at a cost to the player, and the waiving of certain monies owed. to the player.

That aside, I don't really see how it changes anything in relation to our negotiating stance.

 

[tirion]

I suppose at least he wants to wear the Everton shirt, unlike our current number 9.

I want to wear the Number 9 shirt but it doesn’t mean I should get a game, although I’m probably better than that lump Beto

 

[Shevin Keedy]

The issue is that 15 million does very little for us.

As does Dom.

 

[tirion]

As does Dom.

Love to know who all the Dom haters would replace him with?

 

[Nightman]

I have never seen so much hatred for a player who has to play football under the DYCHE HOOF ball system ....

He wants away, I don't blame him one bit TBH -

What's his excuse for being crap under all the other managers then?

 

[Goodisongang]

Love to know who all the Dom haters would replace him with?

i'd literally settle for someone who can kick a ball properly and runs a bit.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

I honestly didn't have a clue

Neither does anyone else in this thread, at least you admitted it.

 

[Thomasc]

Love to know who all the Dom haters would replace him with?

No you are right mate.

There isn’t another player in the world of football we could find to replace this guy with. That’s how great he is

Also, why if you don’t buy into the DCL hype are you called a “hater”?

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

I don't feel sorry for a multi millionaire by any stretch but it is what it is.

You don't feel sorry for Dele? Interesting.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Let him go. Beto has just lit up the EFL trophy with 2 goals and an assist (admittedly after putting in 80-odd minutes of the most inept finishing you are every likely to see).
