2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Muppet Basher]

The lad is only 21 still got a lot to learn, a good full season loan with regular footy would do him good.

He’s a young lad and will come good. Reckon we’ve got a gem that just needs polishing. The next Harry Kane.

He's played nearly every game

Needs full game time, not just subs.

 

[deipnosophist]

He's not cack. He works hard, has pace and athleticism, is decent in the air and will chase lost causes for you all day.
Just doesn't have a striker's natural instincts and makes poor choices at the most important times.
If he improves for 5 years could be like someone like Son at Spurs.
I.E Very good player who always helps the team but doesn't score as many goals as he should.

I think Son will skid his bills if he reads this

...he really must be burying the chance that led to Tosun’s goal and he has to do better with the through ball from Rooney. He’ll chase all day but I don’t think he has the mindset and positivity of a goalscorer. He needs to think he’s on the pitch to score rather than run around lots.

 

[orly]

He is extremely poor. Has not one strength to his game - we can't be accepting "will run around a bit".

 

[EFCPaul]

Definitely isn't ready for this level. Don't want to go in too hard on the lad, he is young and he has been hung out to dry a bit this season but there's just been to many times now when he's not provided any threat whatsoever in games. How he didn't score himself in the original follow up of Tosun's first was appalling, had the big sexy Turk not been on-hand to bury it I'd have gone absolutely crazy.

Just don't think he's good enough now or ever will be. Hope he proves me wrong.

He does soooo many things well, but his finishing and final ball are terrible.

Which is disappointing for a striker. If he ever sorts them out he can be Harry Kane-like, until then hes not worth even having on the bench because as many good situations as he gets you into, he gets you out of them in a hurry. Hes just not ready yet

? Like what ?

 

[banno]

He is not ready for the PL yet. Still shows promise but his finishing plus some other things are not good. Still think we should loan him out for a season or 2 to hone his skills.....same with Davies.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Championship player

I'd agree with this.

These comparisons to Harry Kane are a bit silly. Kane is one one the best finishers the Premiership has ever seen. Calvert Lewin’s finishing is slightly better than Hibbert’s.
