2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[murphy89]

Doesn't make him 3rd BEST striker just means he has had plenty of games in that position. Think the Yak and Campbell off the top of my head.....even Cottee were far superior

But you said:

Yeah but any other decent striker would have reached that tally with 2 seasons to spare

Campbell played 90 games less than DCL for Everton. If we taken into account DCL played games out wide, at RB etc. we could say he played 2 season less. And he didn’t score more.

That said, I don’t disagree that both Yakubu and Campbell were better footballers than DCL, of course they were. But as people keep pointing out in this thread, strikers are measured on goals and he’s our third highest goals scorer in the PL.

The only point I’m making is that £for£, has been a great signing for Everton. Much better than lots of other big money signings we’ve made.

I think the criticism of DCL is over the top.
