2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Fonzy]

Weird one as Bobble and the club put out conflicting info at exactly the same time, Bobble says talks are over and he’s going, club statement says talks ongoing.

Joyce reporting it as well

 

[MACCA75]

Ah well. Good luck at Sheff Utd.

 

[Gilbert..]

Im not sure another clubs fanbase would be anywhere near as tolerant as Everton fans if you're throwing up 5 goals a season ish from open play. Personally i think Evertonians have had the patience of a saint with him for 5 years.
Good luck to him if he moves on. He'll need it.

 

[barneygumble]

No one should be shocked.

His carry on from his wife, was the final nail in a practically closed coffin.

No smoke without fire.

Everton using sense rather than sentiment as its decision making process? As a child of the Kenwright era, I never thought the day would come.

 

[John from Bootle]

Ah well. Good luck at Sheff Utd.

My money is on Sunderland.

Big fan, thanks DCL but it's time to go.

 

[degsy]

Be interesting to see how he does elsewhere.

This...but I think the elsewhere won't be in The Premier League

Flourishes and bangs loads of goals in, inevitably mate.

A slower league may beckon

 

[ToffeeScot]

I'd be surprised if he stays in the PL. I reckon Saudi might call. The wages he is likely seeking would be a huge risk for a PL club.

 

[DL100]

Do terrible strikers score the 3rd most goals for a team in the PL?

This just highlights how bad our strikers have been and how poor recruitment has been

He is a terrible striker, he just hasnt had any competition. Beto coming in has shown that

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Cannot remember him having a decent shot from outside the box.

I appreciate it’s a weird metric to value a striker, but I’ve been unable to shake it.

Good luck wherever you go, Dom… well not too much luck but I hope you continue your 1 in 4 form injury free… but all parties are better off with you not here any more, I feel.

So true. Direct free kicks are a specialist skill obviously, but picture Dom 25 yards out staring at a 5 man wall. It’s like his hips don’t open up or move the right way to give himself room to swing.

Farewell.

 

[Neiler]

Joyce's piece says contract talks have stalled, not ended.

The clubs own press release indicates they are still talking.

Seems to me there is a difference in wage expectations.

Become a bit of a farce this, how long has the contract been there? Over a year if you read some comments and we are two weeks away from expiry.

Laughable.

They've stalled cos we won't match his wage demands, the original contract offer was taken off the table, Lets see if anyone else in the pl offers the worst finisher a 100k p/w contract

Yeah just dont really see us agreeing a deal imo, reason i would want him to stay is the fear of having to bring in two strikers this window. I do think has ability but we havent seen enough of it, also honestly really unsure what clubs would be in for him maybe a promoted team like leeds psy him big for a one year deal. Or is it a backup at another team in england,
