2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

I might visit every now and then in the world football forum.

Or maybe not.

Are you in Texas? That would explain your comment.

Yeah I know, us Yanks just don't have the right amount of hatred towards some human being just trying to advance his career.

Looking back, it was clear he was going to be let go. Moyes rarely played him. And when he did it was near the very end of the match. Dom didn’t show much in those times. I think injuries derailed his career.

This is the type of move we have to make if we’re to move forward. I thought he worked hard for the badge and seems a nice lad. But given he’s been our starting forward for years and you see how he compares to other forwards, you can’t get to where we need to as a club making decisions with nostalgia.

Hope he rocks up in Italy somewhere and delivers a word perfect press conference in Italian the cheeky ferret.

It's funny reading some of the posts on here slagging him for not signing a new contract. Robbing the club of a future transfer fee. If he'd have signed a new contract, the same posters would probably be fuming about not being able to sell him because of his injury record and high wages.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I think Dom’s track record going back many years now would indicate the type of year to expect. He’d be good for a handful of goals and there’s always a risk of reinjuring his hamstring. Good move by the club. Better to release too soon than too late.

Definitely an eye opener for this Everton fan from 200 miles away reading some of the pig-ignorant bigoted comments from a large section of our 'support'. I suppose every club's fans hope that their fellow supporters are just that bit better and more gracious than those of other teams. Turns out we have just as many knuckle daggers as anyone else, and that makes me sad.

Championship next season (Wrexham?) National league in 3 years!

You honestly believe that?

 

[Joey66]

Leicester are skint though aren't they ? Added to the fact that his wages would be highest in the Championship i would suggest. Plus he'd more than likely want to stay in an elite league.

Rumoured to go to a promoted team

 

[salmon fingers]

I think at the start of the season he felt the demand for his services were more in demand so he could expect a bigger pay day either at Everton or somewhere else! But as the season has moved on the landscape has changed and between Beto and a new striker possibly with wages equal to one season of DCL its Everton who hold the cards. I wish him well and hope he has a good career but I think a lot of clubs will look at his numbers and just think he isnt worth over 100k a week.

 

[Joey66]

If he’d become available from another club on his salary and with his recent record and Everton brought him in, you would all be seething

Like the right back at Fulham

 

[Bilko]

I think given we payed only a million for him, we can't have too many complaints on him going on a free.
Times are changing, our number 10 and 9 both gone.....exciting !

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Going to a promoted side makes a lot of sense. He’d get the minutes on the pitch he’s been wanting.

 

[DayL08]

Wish him nothing but the best. Struggled with injuries but how many times did we rush him back too soon as we had nothing else.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Not blaming the club. The example is for a player doing themselves out of millions

Where ever he’s going he will be getting more money than he was on imho.
It’s almost inevitable, I seriously doubt he loosing money out of this.
