The Prophet Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The opposition to DCL is insane. Similar sort of circumstances to Isak, two solid seasons followed by a season of inconsistency and injury. I'd be a bit concerned about his injury record, but there's a good striker in there. There's blatantly a lot if insecurity around because of the way he dresses. If we did get Ekitike and DCL, I wonder if we'd move Wood on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to completely disagree on DCL, overhyped and overpriced, only really had one good goal scoring season in his career and for the price would want far better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, I’d be worried about him under the pressure at our club. He’s been open about his mental health issues this season and not coping too well and I could see moving to our club would potentially exacerbate this, which I wouldn’t wish on anyone. “enjoy the break toffee fans you deserve it.

TheBrownBottle Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Not sure if we'd be able to get him, but I also think DCL would be a decent transfer, he's a very good PL CF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Looking purely at his goal scoring stats he's had 2 good seasons (the two before this one) which show a clear progression of him maturing as a forward (he's always been a decent player even before then). Everton were horrific this season and he suffered a bad injury, if you want to just look at a players Wiki numbers (and DCL aren't bad by any stretch) then look at Shearer's for 97-98 & 00-01. In anycase if his numbers for those seasons weren't just an anomaly then he's potentially a 1 in 2 striker who is obscenely good in the air.
