Well unfortunately Mark you are probably looking at him, because he's miles better than your 80m and 40m alternatives. So they would be foolish not to explore it.
We get it mate. Just because a club isn’t paying a fee doesn’t mean they are going to throw £150k a week at this bloke though.
He’ll likely be a number 2 striker at a Fulham or West Ham - and you don’t get £150k a week for that.
For those thinking DCL on a free, will struggle to get a contract worth in the region of £120k per week, here what a few of his peers are costing their clubs according to the usual sources:
Solanke (27) - £90k/w 6 year contract £55m fee = £349k...
First part i agree. Second part. Could be a bit deep. My own personal view is there has been some utter nonsense written about him on here in terms of what he is as a forward. Clinging on to a spell he had around 5 years ago. Looking back even...
Couldn't care less about him. Thanks for the goal against palace though.
Horrendous goal scoring record and putting out a public statement like he's some sort of worshiped figure and wanted to let us down gently.
Championship striker.
I think that was also indicative of the system being sussed out, though losing a player of the calibre of JR would undoubtedly affect any team.
We were too easy to outnumber in midfield and the dynamics of the Richarlison/Dom partnership up top...
He scored 11 of his first 16 that year in the first 11 games mate. https://www.transfermarkt.com/dominic-calvert-lewin/leistungsdaten/spieler/306024/plus/0?saison=2020
Rodriguiz picks up his first injury of many with us that year in the 11th...
And the set up to get the most out of him was pretty much a broken system by the time we got to January. It's almost like telling your striker to 'just stay in the box lad' has an impact on other areas of the team.
