2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Maybe chased wasn't the right word. More a general feeling of "ah well, he can go, we'll replace".

People were resigned to him going as we had no chance of keeping him at that point, and we definitely should’ve done a better job of replacing him with the funds we received.

That didn't happen either. Stop making things up

 

[Carlito]

He's turned out to be a pretty good player, but £60m would be too much to turn down.

Some of that would need to be spend on a new recruitment team, though.

 

[Zigzigsputnik]

So… to summarise… he’s not good enough for Everton so let’s sell him for 70 million ???

Everton fans ffs ??

Too right, don't think anyone would pay it though tbh

 

[ElGato]

Probably only get 'Iwobi money' (30m) for him anyway. That'd probably be spent on some other Arsenal reject.

Straight swap with N'Ketiah

No it wouldn’t. If fit and if on pens DCL would get you 20 PL goals a season and that’s exactly what every club aims to have. What we need is more creativity coming from the midfield. If we sold DCL it would be a huge huge mistake. We sold Lukaku and couldn’t find another striker.

Goal hanger and too big for boots these days imo

Why stop there? If he's never injured and never misses another shot, we could be talking 80 goals.

Your doing what you always do and make up things no one has said.

But in regards to your second point, I'd rather have a striker who scores goals consistently throughout the whole season rather than one who bangs in 70% of his goals in the first part of the season and then doesn't do much for the rest of the season.

The whole team did nothing the second half of the season so maybe that's the issue?

Yes, no one has ever once written on here that we don't need Lukaku and that "without his goals we'd still have finished the season in the same position". I must dream these comments.

Ha ha ha so true

One or two clueless fans on the internet don't reflect the whole fanbase though, so again he was never chased out, he wanted to go.

Irony here really shining through in this thread.

I’d say 95% of fans in the real world were pretty gutted to see Lukaku go.
