2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Neiler]

Actually think he’s a player out of time.

Hes the big man who wins it and knocks it down to others in eras gone by, he’s never a goal scoring 9.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Or, you know, he's never been even decent at one-on-ones and he's just a really crap striker?

Or, you know, multiple things can be true? He obviously lacks confidence.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I think what hurts him the worst as a player is he can't take other players on with the dribble. For whatever reason, he has always been weak on the ball and pushed off easily despite his size. He is kind of like Iwobi in the sense that he plays smaller than he is.

 

[Mickey]

Was always rushed back from injury because he was the only serviceable striker we had for years. Gets a fractured cheekbone fighting for the cause and gets booed. Love Dom and hope he stays but wouldn't blame him if he wanted a change of scene.

 

[RomanReigns]

He should go to serie A

Maybe join a team like Como or Parma

He can enjoy the fashion scene out there as well

His missus will be chuffed as well

 

[BlueBarrow]

He is an enigma.
He could easily go elsewhere and flourish.
There is talent there , despite him not being a "natural" goalscorer.
Lacks confidence and is terrible at one on one's.
Probably worth keeping on a reduced salary as a squad option, but that depends on whether we can rectify his fitness / availabilty issues.

I don't want him any where near our squad. He's had years to prove his worth, and he's failed miserably, (whilst being made a multi millionaire). He doesn't deserve another chance.

I understand that view too mate

Football wise yes but I can’t imagine his missus being chuffed when he’s being racially abused every game, it’s horrible in Italy at the moment

 

[bullybeef]

I got a feeling Dom is holding on for another contact. Other offers from the bigger PL clubs seem to have dried up.

I hope we move him on. His injury record is appalling.

I think events have conspired to make DCL and Everton a complete mismatch. Let’s be honest if any top half of the league team were still interested he would have been away. As far as Everton are concerned he doesn’t want to be here, we can’t keep him fit and he doesn’t score enough goals. I honestly think Everton and DCL would both be better off if he moved on. His problem is that it looks like he would be taking a backward step both in terms of the level he would be playing at and his wages. I have no problem with the lad, I believe he gave of his best, he suffered as he was always under pressure to return early from injury as he was all we had and under Dyche he suffered from the style of play.

Completely agree…. Time to move on, but only one side of this comes out better.

Don't forget his inability to pass the ball and link up play with others around him effectively, his poor control unless it's with his back to goal, erratic finishing inside the box and nonexistent ability to score from outside the box.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Dom, but not forgotten
