2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Tel001]

If fit - he is first class ... he will do well in a good team IMO ....if fit...

he would do a better job than Harry Kane for England half fit ATM .....

Mate , “ first class” strikers can finish one on ones and can bring others into play as a lone striker .

He is not first class

Is that DCL?

 

[Tel001]

The 16 league goals Calvert-Lewin scored in 2021 has only been equalled by 2 players in the last 30 years.

Special prize to who ever guesses the 2 players.

Guessing lukaku and yakubu?

Kanchelskis would have been within 30 years wouldn’t he and he would have been close?

Mate , “ first class” strikers can finish one on ones and can bring others into play as a lone striker .

He is not first class

It's mind-blowing how extreme people go with this very average player, whether positive or negative.

Imagine a first class striker going 18 games without a goal

 

[Timbucktoo]

Imagine a first class striker going 18 games without a goal

Imagine a first class striker score 7 goals in a season, including 2 penos and 1 from a keepers bad clearance hitting you in the back. And missing that chance v Villa when the keeper turned his back on him to run back towards goal and he missed.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I find it shocking that people are so willing to accept a striker that can’t finish to save his life , as our main CF

It’s people like you who clearly do not understand why every manager we have had has had him first on the team sheet for a reason and every commentator and pundit wax lyrical about his overall input.

As someone else posted, decent wingers and a decent number ten then perhaps you’d get it

His figures are pretty much middle of the road but he’s had absolute dross to work with, worse than any other striker I can recall like, absolute scraps

He's the best we have, mate .... in our midfield many strikers would not get a kick of the ball .....

Well that's easy explained, because our other options since lukuku have been diabolical.

Your other point makes me laugh as well, along the lines off if he wasn't working with dross he'd ger more goals etc.

I'm sure the wingers or whoever who supplied him with easy chances for them 18 games straight last season where thinking the same thing.

A fully fit on form dcl is an asset, a fullt fit on form dcl we have seen about 5% in the last 3 years, we absolutely cannot afford to take a chance on losing him on a free given what he's given us in the last few years.

A striker who might not be as good "on his day" but is consistent would be far more valuable than the current dcl

Fernando Torres and Diego Forlán both went well over 20 games.

My own view is that DCL is about as good a striker as we can reasonably expect to attract to the club.

3 questions.

Is he a good finisher?
Is he a good striker of a football?
Would you bet on him to score if clean through?

Be honest.

What versions of these players are you talking about?

The washed torres at chelsea( just looked and he did go 18 games at chelsea without a goal, but only half of them where starts ) we all know torres stunk the gaff out at chelsea

Forlan, I assume again you mean the forlan at united who they couldn't wait to sell?

I don't think comparing dcl to players who did awful at these respective clubs helps your argument?

Edit- couldn't disagree more, if you think the best everton football club can do is a striker who's scored 14 goals in 3 years than we are in deeper crap than we already have been

They have all picked him because he’s the best we have … just like Harrison is the best RW we have , like Coleman at 36 is the best rb we have … trouble is what we have is not very good.

Two decent wingers and a decent number 10?

Top teams have these , we don’t , so he has to show enough for a top team to buy him, which none have ever tried to do.

He’s 27? And nobody has ever tried to take him off us . That is because his control and build up play and his finishing are poor.

He is not even close to having the skill set to play for a team that counters quickly or that requires accurate quick passes to break down opposition teams .

If he ever scores 15+ goals in a season for any team … put Callum Wilson in the same team and he would outscore him as would most of prem strikers

 

[Blue Smoke]

For 40 million, interested teams will tell him to hang on for 6 months and sign a contract to get him free in 12 months time.
Something we simply cant affird to happen.
Sign contract, or get shot for anything over 25 million.

He's never been up for sale, mate - Klop liked him - stop pretending you know what a good CF is - have you looked at our midfield ? 7 the two slowest wingers in the prem ?
