KaKa Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Just now, andyc35i said: I’d actually take that lad from Luton, he’s such a handful and gives us a different dimension. Looked good every time I’ve seen him and a solid backup I like him a lot, but didn't want to say so on here, because I couldn't be bothered with the responses from people that didn't really watch him closely. I agree with you 100%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Whilst it’s very difficult to see past DCL’s injury record (although he actually had 26 starts and 6 sub appearances in the league this season), he’s clearly got very good attributes. He would certainly offer a different skill set to Isak in terms of his aerial ability and physicality, which could potentially be useful if we were wanting to change things up later in a game. Obviously I get everyone would have reservations if the price tag was (very) substantial, but if he’s in the last year of his contract, I can definitely see it as a possibility. And we all know what happened the last time we bought someone from Everton no-one wanted… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 He had a solid season - he's a decent player. I'd rather him than people like DCL tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) He's only got a year left on his deal, that together with the compressed market I think the fee would be lot less than previous years. I'd still question whether it was the right profile of player though. Edited May 23 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Bowen would be great. DCL would be entirely dependent on the fee. That said I think this is paper talk bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Adebayo is the type of player I imagine every opposition player dreads to face. The striker version of Joelinton, just hard as nails, but fairly quick and dare I say it better in front of goal. Would love him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be involved in any kind of deal to sign him. Wish him the best though. Really great guy is Awoniyi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Eddie was linked with DLC since he got here. He was linked to us even before then wasnt he? Its longstanding interest. Eddie is definitely an admirer. I'm fine with it for anything under 20m. I feel like that won't even buy a gammy knee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCL is miles off where we want to be and also a perma-crock, no thanks. It would be like signing a younger Wilson without the goals.

Emotic Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 DCL only suffered a freak broken cheekbone all last season as far as I’m aware? Horrific in the two season prior though. I had thought that our earlier “interest” in him was a smokescreen for Gordon. But if he’ll cost 20 mil or under, it might be worth a punt for a backup.

RR15 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'm confident our owners are fully aware of DCL's injury record. Agree with Emotic, if we can get him for the right price & up to speed with Eddie's training regime - it may be worth the risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
