They do, but shearer, Henry and kane aren't examples to use when a 21 year old isn't achieving.

DCL is 21 isn't he? Shearer had done enough to be the most expensive player in English history. Kane as I mentioned hit a 30 goal season.
a) you are comparing to two of the best strikers that have ever been in the Prem
b) player progression is not linear or even at all easily comparable - guess what Drogba was doing at 21? He hadn't made his first team debut yet at Le Mans.
c) DCL is fine

The other striking options are Niasse and Tosun. That's why.
I apologise if there are any other options other than Richarlison playing there and not out wide. We have been bereft of quality in this position since Lumpkaku left.
I like DCL, I think he is a good honest player who gives his best when he is playing. He is however not of the requisite quality for a top 6 team. He may be given time, but I'd say you have to back him for 2-3 years to get there, which is unfortunately for us a terrible gamble on something that might never happen.
I have no solutions for this however. Good job Marcel and Marco are paid to do that.

Not happy with the distinct lack of jarg rumours so far
I'm neither comparing him to 2 of the best strikers in the league ever, someone else compared him to 3 of the best, to which I thought it was a stupid comparison, not just because as you say progress is not linear, those 3 players were all successful at 21.

Probably on a loan deal back to Celtic for the rest of the season, and then to compete against Digne, and we'd have superb quality at left back within the squad. We'd then play Holgate there for the season.
