2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[MartSlinger]

I think its time to give Calvert-Lewin a proper run as the central striker with Sandro & Sigurdsson either side with Rooney behind.

None of this playing him at RW or RWB, just stick him at ST. He may not score a shed load but im absolutely certain his all round game will help us massively.

It's mad that are number one striker is a bronze player in FIFA. How on earth are we going to play a decent career mode in fifa 18?!

He's come back from the summer a completely different player, his touch as drastically improved as well as his movement. He showed extreme maturity against City and was roundly applauded by many.

He's more than capable of hitting double figures, the concern is that he's still going with only a handful of games under his belt and the fact that he hasn't had a real break considering he was away with England setup in the summer. Fatigue will play a part. So before the knives come out in December have some consideration

His workrate and (youthful?) energy is something we haven't really seen in a blue shirt in some time. To be encouraged, give him a chance Ron.

Think he'll mix it up Eggs. No doubt both Rooney and Sandro will play some games up top to give the lad a bresk. Wouldnt be surprised to see Niasse on the bench for some games.

Just looked at the fixture list this Autumn and they are coming thick and fast. Especially if we beat Sunderland. No gimmies in the EL either where ee can take a breather.

..totally agree, Fred (although Niasse would be a surprise). I can even see things getting regularly changed within games.

Injuries may force our hand Eggs. Don't expect him to be welcomed back into the fold with open arms, but we don't have many options and a couple of injuries will be enough to force his hand I reckon.

...and I'm not seeing an obvious striker coming through the U23s.

He carries are hopes for the season now on his shoulders, lot to ask at his age.
The team is set up for a target man he is the only one we have.

 

[collymcd]

You knever know. Calvert could surprise us all and have a belter of a season. The boy certainly has a lot of potential. When he's up top things happen.

Just please please don't play him anywhere else except centre forward.

On the flip side this should surely help his development enormously and we could end up with quite a player on our hands by next season.

 

[Roztitute]

Let's go Dominic, you're our only hope up top now

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I hope we as a fan base handle this correctly and back him during a period where he's going to have a lot of pressure on his young shoulders

If we're behind him (Ooo Err) it will really help him out I think

I just hope we haven't got the flaming torches out after a couple of games

[gonetomorrow]

To get down to basics, can he compete for the ball in the air with the big thugs in defence?

He has to get on the end of Siggy's balls (if you take my meaning, squire) to be an effective striker for us.

I see him as a fantastic front runner but not really a target man in the box.
