2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

other than it’s actually £100k x 52 x 3 and £15.6m it’s still fantastic value for an England capped 28 year old for 3 years.

When you think Chermiti has cost more than that and contributed less in the last 2 years.

If he’s fit and plays 10 games or scores 5 goals we could flog him next year for £15m and still turn a significant profit

To quote Stuart Lee on Game of Thrones "being really clever and about politics and history and stuff like that"...

"Is it though?"

Those England caps, the last of which was about 4 years ago, are doing some serious heavy lifting.

Everton will want to keep him. We need a squad.

If he goes, we need to replace him and as a benchmark - £15m on Sporting's 4th choice striker before wage.

But he offers nothing.

Can’t score reliably and has shown no indication once he has been behind Beto in the pecking order that he will even work hard when brought on.

Utter waste of whatever money we would pay him. I could fill a space in the squad if I’m not actually expected to return on having that spot so what is the point in DCL?

 

[PhilM]

It's uncanny, no matter where the keeper is positioned or where lewin in shooting from, he nearly always manages to find him. Moving into the new stadium the club really does need to moving on and attracting far better than this.

That comes down to composure, or lack of.

The best finishers, at any age, are composed and put it in the space, whereas those without it blast it, usually at the largest target within the goal.

Exactly. He's there to score goals, and he doesn't do that.

You know when I worked it out, I thought it seemed low.

Just basically did it at 100,000 a month didnt I. Missed out a whole section of my own calculation.

Welcome back Farhad

….a goalscorer also has a picture of the goal and the position of the goalkeeper in their mind. As you say, they’re able to come down a gear and invariably finish inside the post.

As a kid every lamppost on my walk to school was a goalpost and I had a vision of the ball going inside it. A bit weird really but I was prolific as a youngster, I have wondered if other kids back then thought similar.

 

[Paul Rideout]

A fitting end to his time with us - a tame shot strait at the keeper.

 

[FrannyJeffersLeftEar]

I think he is a player massively on the decline and other clubs see it too. An English centre forward, on a free and very little takers.

He's rubbish in front of goal, but even the other parts of his game have become poor.

I dont get why there is such a saga over him either. Does this happen elsewhere. If a forward isnt performing at other clubs dont they just get moved on. Call me nuts but i think our fanbase has been tolerant with him. We've had very little for around 5 years. I cant think of many clubs he'd have got the last 5 years out of.
And looking from the outside he looks like he thought he could do better than Everton and has had a rude awakening.

 

[bluelegend]

Outside of his Covid purple patch he has been well below average. Throw in a mouthy missus and he's not really an attractive contract signing for us or for others. His best option might be to try and relaunch his career outside of England.

 

[jceverton]

If this guy stays on and Gana goes I think I’m going to lose it!

 

[jayden28]

He offers absolutely nothing,if we want to progress he can't be leading the line up front.

 

[Eggs]

If this guy stays on and Gana goes I think I’m going to lose it!

…you’d expect that we should know in the next 48 hours.

 

[HTCHERO]

Everton will likely tease us with news of a massive deal and reveal DCL on improved terms haha. He's been average all his career bar a small purple patch that feels like it was in 1967

 

[johnjoeefc]

I don't think Moyes will keep him
