Guest 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...

According to this he’s missed the same number of games this season as Haaland. Wonder if anyone thinks that should put Man City off? 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...

DCL walking back into a mess of a team though. Shearer scored 2 in about 20 after a far more serious injury but came back absolutely fine in the end.

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...

That said, if we brought in Ekiteke as well, that would address the pace problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Given that FFP is mentioned a lot and we won’t be spending fortunes like some outlets predicted we might (I prefer it this way tbh) I don’t really want DCL despite quite liking him as a striker. The money it would cost to get him could surely be invested better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
