2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Toffeelover]

Is he doing what Barkley did ?

 

[Titus Shambles]

If he does go on a free transfer he will get a good move. Probably to a more attractive option than Everton

Then he can score a whopping 6 or 7 goals a season for someone else in exchange for his £100k a week or whatever it is. With a bit of luck we might actually try acting like a real football club and go out and get a striker who can put that round thingee in that net thingee every few games instead of every few months.

What club better than Everton does he start for?

He might go to Newcastle to sit on the bench.

That's how I class him - can't trap a bag of cement .... I have seen better in the national league TBH ..... yes he has a nuisance value, but so did Bernie Wright & he scored a few....

Losing DCL short term as we know he is going - is a big loss - pretending Beto will fill his boots is laughable -DM will sign a striker ....

Have to agree, Beto offers nothing but good effort, but effort doesn't get the job done alone. He's pretty dreadful.

There are so many strikers out there that could give us more than Dom has the past couple seasons. If he leaves for free, so be it.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Maybe played his last game for us.

Shame the fans didn’t booo him off again.

Good luck to the lad, we should have sold him. That's not his fault

He might go to Newcastle to sit on the bench.

He might want to go abroad, or might be happy being a squad player at the likes of a Newcastle playing 20-25 games a year, more money, competing at the top end of the league, chance of trophies etc.

Can't sell a player who doesn't want to leave/wants to go on a free and get the best deal possible for himself. If the club were proactive, they'd be reading the tea leaves and already be identifying at least one if not two strikers to be brought in as priority in the summer.

If he’s playing 25 games for a team, then it’s safe to say they won’t be landing any trophies!

True, true. I meant Clare Balding would have to carry his ass by doing that goal scoring malarky on his behalf

Dom scored last week, Beto didn’t on Saturday

Ummm ok??? Beto finished the game Saturday Dom didn’t. Are we just saying opposites?

Dom has been terrible as the main striker since Covid. How anyone can make a case for a striker having multiple streaks of 14 plus games without a goal is beyond me.

 

[Everton_Gary]

Well hes been here 7 years and in that time we didnt buy a single player better than him, so I look forward to us finally doing it.

Me too, recruiting has been awful. Needed a striker when Lukaku left. That was the standard and unfortunately we accepted way below that standard for far too long.

 

[ah11984]

Only saw the highlights of the game, how did he even do his injury? Someone said it was challenging for a header? How is that even possible to do your hamstring that way.

 

[stamullenblue]

We could have used someone winning headers at midfield in the 2nd half on Saturday.

And holding the ball up !

Spot on. 17 league goals in the last 3.5 years says it all really. Nowhere near good enough, and no team with aspirations to finish anywhere near the European places hangs their hat on a bloke who consistently misses as many chances as he does.
