2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[davek]

gutted for Dom but we`re not just a one man team. the main thing done is our defence being better than last season. Myko coming along nicely, Gordon more experienced- he`ll be a monster this season. Dele is like a new signing, who will show us what he`s about. McNeil will chip in with more goals than we expect of him. we may be lacking a `proper` CF but i believe it`ll get sorted one way or another. COYB

At best we've effectively turned the taps on and then pulled the plug out if we secure the defence but have no replacement for Richarlison and are left with a constantly injured DCL up front.

True we're not, as we've lost all our good players.

Lampard is building a solid spine and defence first which is what the best managers do.

sorry, i forgot about Tosun. can`t remember the others though.

Did we have any? Richarlison excluded.

 

[Oddball]

Almost certainly Gana too

and Gueye i forgot he was on his way

That doesn;t make him more valuable to other clubs.

They see it in objective terms: "what do we get for our money?"

The answer is: a player with troublesome injuries and one who needs a lot of service to get not a lot of goals.

He's at best Leicester-class.

Well they're miles better than us so that should be good enough for Everton.

Part of the spine is a striker...

What's the point in this kind of negativity towards the guy?

No point he just annoys me

It's good enough for Everton (just) if we have another attacker in alongside him AND he stays fit.

don`t be at it Dave, you know what i meant

Well, they payed £25m for Ihenacho who has a record in 5 years at Leicester of 25 goals in 122 games.

A very high percentage of those games was as sub

The service at Leicester though is to Vardy - long punts. Understandable he'd be struggling...as would Calvert Lewin there.

I suspect we won't see him until the derby
