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...

He's only made 14 appearances this season though, which is pretty poor. I understand what you're saying, it might just be one bad season, but it would be a risk on our part.

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.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I wouldn’t be put off by that otherwise there’ll be a very small pool of players to look at. If it wasn’t for the toe injury I bet there’d not have been a discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Surely we would trust our medical departments to assess his injury record and predict future likelihood of injury. My brain always goes to Eddie Howe and what a fantastic coach he is. I love the potential of him with bright young players. DCL is one of those who needs a fresh start. Besides, if it doesn't work out, we could probably recoup 1/4 of what we buy him for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One freak toe fracture and Everton rushing him back too soon. I imagine he'd be fine if he moved up north. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We on the other hand don’t have such luxuries atm and need the striker signing to stay fit and score the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 He wouldn’t be my first choice, but I’d have DCL, he’s dynamic, great in the air, young and can play a variety of roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
