2020/21 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Terrarian]

Won't be surprised to see Utd or Chelsea come calling in the summer tbh. Both need a number 9 and can't see Haaland going to either of them two - could make it difficult for us to hold onto him.

In reality, how much you think we'd demand for him? £75m like Lukaku?

I don't really think about things like that tbh, I'd rather we keep him. It's also tough to say in a post covid market.

God help you now, @Joey66 is gonna hunt you and your family down

Two goals was enlightening him .......

 

[Toffeelover]

I'm shocked, quality balls get put in the box and he scores a couple. He hasn't had decent service this year really.

He is a poacher, he isn't clinical, but you get it in the right areas enough he will score.

Good on you, DCL.

There was one cross where Sterling got in the way and messed DCL up, otherwise might have been a hatrick.

Dom thrives on good service, he isn’t getting that at the moment from our team. No RB/RW crosses or creative midfielder.
Fix that Brands and he’ll score many more

 

[Dougie]

Honest question lads. Do you think with 1 or 2 better players around him with better service, he can take us to next level??
For me I say yes because I feel he has that work ethic and determination to improve on his weaknesses. He has 23 goals so far for club and country. 19 in 31 for us in all competitions. I was one of biggest critic and only season before last said he was championship level at best. Proved me wrong and I ain’t shamed to admit it. He has great attitude on and off the pitch always talks well. With Carlo he can go up a other level I feel. But would like to know others thoughts if he is the man up top to take us where we want to be.

Let's be honest if he was a Thierry Henry he wouldn't be with us now.

No. He'd be in the Sky studios looking exasperated.

 

[Egil Olsen]

DCL has had a good development, but still has a bit to go on. The best strikers in Europe usually do better than the XG model, but right now he is a little behind it.

 

[Dymak]

If he had someone like Grealish to the left of him he’d become one of Europe’s top scorers.

 

[jinkyali]

Would anyone of us fancy him on a one v one?

Last minute, FA Cup final, through on goal...

No chance.

He’s scored more open play goals than anyone else in the prem for a team that has struggled to create chances for him. He has some weaknesses to his game but his penalty box movement and aerial ability are world class. He’s probably as good a poacher in the box as Lukaku was who was also world class at that, Lukaku had more to his game in terms of technique from outside the box but he’s one of the beat strikers in the world now.

He’d have already scored the two tap ins to win the game. There’s not many strikers truly great at one v ones when they have a lot of time. Even Aguero and Messi mess up loads of them. Rom used to be pretty good at them.

 

[Carlito]

Genuinely think he'd score more for City than Haaland would (well, will, cause he's definitely going there).

Cause he's a tap-in merchant. But apparently that's a bad thing.

You know, I never used to believe it when you said that you're a football journalist.

Now I do.

It was obviously tongue in cheek

 

[Carlito]

Fair play, then.

That was a good one.

It is extraordinary how his career has developed in a little over twelve months. He has probably added about 80m to his value in that time.
