The Prophet Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Have absolutely no issue with his ability as a footballer, but I worry about his injury record this season. He seems to be made of glass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very decent player, I know he's not been great this season, but the last two he's been great. I get the feeling you don't trust Howe's transfer record.

I think there are question marks over it definitely. I just feel DCL is another overpriced, overrated English player, and there are far better players and with better value out there. Its not meant as a huge criticism of Howe btw, he’s more than earned the right to build his own side here, I just have doubts over this type of transfer.

Tiresias Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Not sure we can be sniffy over someone who has reliably banged in goals in the league before, but am concerned over injury record Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair that makes sense, no doubt someone like Nunez or Osenheim would be more exciting, but I think there is something in getting someone in who is proven in the Premier League, while also getting someone younger from abroad who can be his understudy. Think he'd probably get us 15 goals a season. He's also about to enter his prime years. If we could get him for £30m it'd be decent business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I didn't realise it was Edwards who had written the piece, say no more. Eddie seems to have blown his scoop on Longstaff out of the water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 If you can get Etikite & Calvert-Lewin for £70m and get back £30m for Wilson & Wood we’ll have done well. Brings the age of the attack right down, £40m net to upgrade it like that makes sense in terms of FFP, and the ceiling of both players’ ability is much greater.

Comegetasample Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Would this not directly weaken Everton ? depending on how much we would pay for him. It's obviously not the main reason you should sign someone up but shouldn't we be looking to skim off some of the cream from those below/around us as we push upwards, i'm thinking Phillips/DCL/Tarkowski/Sarr/Bissouma ect. not advocating signing all of them but there is some merit in raiding those around us.

I've got a very strong suspicion Tarkowski is a done deal and they're waiting until the end of the season to announce it - particularly awkward given his final game for Burnley will be at home against us Edited May 12, 2022 by Raconteur Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From April 2022: https://theathletic.com/news/everton-striker-dominic-calvert-lewin-to-miss-merseyside-derby-with-quad-injury/DcAKcvcWUWN3/ “Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin will miss Everton’s next two games after picking up a quad injury in training. Calvert-Lewin has already missed large chunks of the campaign with injury, suffering hamstring and toe issues.“ so he’s had hamstring issues last year AND this season.
