2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[summerisle]

When did "back on the grass" become the preferred phrase? I thought it was just a Dyche thing but it's very much been adopted by the club. Didn't it used to be "training with the ball"?

Can't even win the cliche league championship, piddling mid table finish.

My no.9

This just says to me that the club are selling Beto. We will get money for Beto, and the club probably don’t want to lose 2 strikers. If Dom can stay injury free I think he will do well under Moyes.

 

[Toffeepot]

He's staying isn't he?......

He's 'kin staying isn't he?!

What a great bit of news to start the day. Like a mug of scalding hot piss slung in your face.

It's worth it just for this

**spoiler alert**

He won’t remain injury free

 

[Toffe3m4n]

So he's basically indirectly claiming that Dyche was his issue?

Still think he's injured too much to risk another deal on personally..

 

[banno]

NEA about DCL. Would be upset if we kept him on with an improved contract. Doesn't deserve it as he doesn't give much back

The lad gets bigged up in the media like he’s Messi. On comms v Chelsea, Joe Cole was saying he was down at Finch Farm and was saying what an incredible number 9 Dom is when fit.

Every press conference in the last 3 years has started with questions about how important he is to the team..

 

[DuncansPigeons]

Not bothered one bit if he stays.

If it means we can go all out for a big striker and pay £30-40 million rather than buy two at £15 million each then it’s a smartish move

He’ll get injured 4th game and be no use to us as per.

If he does sign it can't be for £100,000 again and definitely not more. If it is then it shows that the club isn't learning at all from past mistakes. On the injury record alone they should be able to point out that he doesn't warrant those kind of wages. Jarrad is on £35,000 a week. This is where we should be using DCL's wages, give them to him.

30 40 mil striker, ill have some of what you are smokin

I hope he stays and stays fit as it would cost £30m+ to replace him, the biggest concerns are can we afford to keep him as no doubt he’ll have bigger offers as he is on a free, and can he stay fit.

The only person I can think of who might even possibly have such a thing is Sammy Lee.
