2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Efcjake]

Like it or lump it, he is the best striker at the club at present, if all fit i would pick him above any others that we have.

Under Moyes he is a 1 in 2 strike rate

Our top goalscorer chart says otherwise pal, but alright.

Still plenty of time to get fit and take back top spot if he applies himself.

They were two bad misses, but I think us going to sleep on the verge of HT gave Brentford a goal that they didn`t deserve that cost us. I still have nightmares when I think of the one DCL missed at Villa Park when we were 2-1 up. He got put through and had just the keeper to beat and the defender made up ground to take the ball off his toe. That miss cost us that day and we were still starting nearly every game with DCL up front until he got injured.

What were the other options?

Simply cannot give a player with his injury record a new contract.

Someone like a Mina or a James you could say would play excellently for a dozen games a season which could be the difference of a fair few points. Still though it would be a hard decision.

With DCL there is no way you can give him £100k a week. Id even argue £50k a week isnt workable due to his lack of goals and constant injuries which will continue.

Its time to say goodbye

….not long ago we offered Tom Davies a new deal, crazy at the time & even crazier now. I wouldn’t disagree on DCL but I get the impression Moyes still feels he’s the best we have.

i really like dom and wished he wouldve signed a new contract earlier

now though i feel like it’s time for both parties to move on

Slap a reduced terms contract on the table for two seasons and tell him he's got a month to sign it or it's going in the shredder.

….Moyes might be really keen on him signing, he won’t want to jeopardise that.

The amount of players we need in this summer, think he’d want to keep him for the time being or take Broja for another season.

….he’ll want to keep the one he thinks is most effective. We all have a view but we can only guess Moyes’s.

Think regardless, a number 9 would have been
Identified as a priority

….fingers crossed but it says a lot about who’s he’s currently got at his disposal.

A few years back Everton TV posted a video of Rooney I think Gylfi S and DCL in a competion for the best finisher of the three. Rooney as expected was excellent Gylfi was good but it was DCL who's finishing was poor and it sort of shocked me how poor he was. His all around play is good but finishing hasn't changed

Get rid of the snide. There was a contract there for him for ages but he was looking elsewhere. No one else wanted him, so if he wants to stay give him massively reduced wages.
