2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[balggy]

I really can’t see what good was going to come out of posting this on the morning after the last men’s game at Goodison.

I think Calvert Lewin knows that in terms of his career, it makes sense to stay at Everton. He’s not getting a better offer elsewhere. But it’s clear that his wife wants him to move on, probably to somewhere on the continent. The reaction of some is disgusting, but in my view the original story was posted with the aim of deepening the wedge between him and the fanbase.

Not to mention the wildly inaccurate stat she uses.

Then my apologies to Liam. However, my original point stands, someone who is getting grief online shouldn't have to be stoic about it all because they happen to have a public profile. We should all feel empowered to stand up to bullies no matter what our personal circumstances are. The upshot of all of this is that the relationship between club and player is broken and, as such, it's best for all parties to move on and part ways.

Whether right or wrong, (and wrong, obviously) any footballer can find criticism about themselves if they go looking. More so if they solicit it (Maupay). Take Anthony Gordon, if he searched his name over the weekend, he could find hundreds, if not thousands hammering him. Does that mean the relationship between club and player is broken?

I was wondering about that

I was wondering about that

Presume she meant ‘Premier league’ goals.

Unfortunately we live in a world we're sad mouthy little twunts have a platform to troll and abuse people without much consequence....

Regardless of your opinions of his ability and effort you keep your words football related....

As much as it matters to us it is just a game at the end of the day, no one should get personal abuse and threats to that level

And i dont think you'll ever stop it completely. Ive never been on the recieving end but its either got to be take with a pinch of salt or unfortunately if you are in this and other high profile professions come off social media all together.
Human beings. You'll always get brain dead idiots.

 

[Miked1e]

Let him and his mrs go...... when they both end up at some championship town I am sure they will be happy!

 

[Mikey O]

I'm sure the decision has been made by the player and club - I'll be happy when it's announced and would prefer to see him move on.

DCL has been hampered with his injuries and we can't take the risk of him breaking down again.

 

[Gerbs]

Im torn on DCL. If (big if) he can stay healthy is a good footballer. Can hold up play, good in the air. We have to remember he has had a truly atrocious midfield behind him for the past few years. Under Dyche he was regularly the only player forward and would receive the ball have literally no one to support him. He had bad wingers and bad wingbacks to whip the ball in. He has had no support.

Injuries is the major concern, but if he can stay healthy I could see him doing well on a team that gets forward. I wish we could have seen him more under Moyes

 

[hktoffee]

Release him and Keane. We need an overhaul.

We should all have a significant other that is proud and will stick up for us.

It certainly doesn't deserve ridicule or what happened.

If the abuse is sustained enough and personal enough, then yes. We have only seen one DM exchange between an imbecilic "fan" and DCLs wife but I wouldn't be surprised if that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's one thing calling someone a rat or suggesting they are bad at football so they should leave a club but it's quite another to discuss harming someone's wife and child. I agree that it isn't healthy to look yourself up on social media but that doesn't excuse the abuse that's out there and it also doesn't negate the right to reply. Blaming the abused for the abuse they get seems backwards to me. If the original abuse doesn't exist then there's nothing to respond to. If someone verbally abused me in the street, I would respond in kind, I'm not sure why social media and the anonymity of the internet should change that.

 

[NathDogg]

Got nothing against his missus fighting their corner, they have had some horrendous abuse sent their way from absolute gobshites. However, not sure I could be bothered giving the trolls the time of day tbh.

Always think he’s did his best for us, sadly, often it just wasn’t good enough or injuries hampered him.

 

[Blue Parkender]

Wasn't one of his gripes that the fans had never had a song for him. Bit silly if you ask me.

Bella ciao came along didn’t it, before it got stolen by the murderers for their Colombian.

Would help getting a song if he notched a few more goals tbh.
