I'm torn with DCl... If we want to progress we need a forward who we can rely on to regularly score goals. Since the start of the 21/22 season he's made 89 league appearances (<60% of the total number of league games in that time) and scored 17 goals... an average of a goal every 5 games or so. This is enough evidence for me that he is not what we need.
Having said that, during that time he's played up front for a team managed by the FSW, Duncan Ferguson, Frank Lampard and Sean Dyche... Prime Pele would have struggled to get goals for us during that time and we're still under PSR restrictions for the upcoming transfer window.
I won't bemoan us extending his contracted, provided it's not a bumper contract and we have another, better forward then our current crop to challenge for the No.9 place.
