Magpie Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Well I think there's still a very good striker there in DCL. For the right money and wages etc I think it'd be a good move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 DCL scores a goal every 3.7 games (based off the last 3 seasons in the PL, when Everton have been really shit). The two seasons before that he scored every 2.1 games, which included a very respectable 16 goal season. I'm assuming we're looking at that period thinking he can replicate that form, taking into account how much of a mess Everton have been recently coupled with his career being so stop/start with his injuries, almost ignoring his more recent goalscoring record. I'm just happy we're backing our manager. This would be a signing that shows how unified we are behind the scenes. Given he'd be backup to one of the GOAT's and should only be getting 15/20 mins here and there plus the odd start I think we can manage his fitness. Would still like an elite RW though, think that would be more transformative than anything else at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Probably been mentioned but surely the fee and wages will be totally offset by Wilson leaving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funtime Frankie Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Jonathan David was rumoured to be £25 million this summer that will be a way better option, he offers so much more and possibility of playing him and Isak up top with them rotating who was coming in short would be immense. The other player who we have been linked with for a few years in Moukouko from Dortmund, he is currently 3rd choice and likely 4th choice if they get Guirsasay(sp). I reckon like Hall we could get him on a loan with obligation to buy so we can then spend this summer on GK, RCB and RW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Just now, gdm said: Kelly is fine as a squad member on a free. Trafford is fine is a back up to pope & replacement for Dubravka but the cheap squad players are only acceptable if the signings to upgrade the first team actually do that so here’s hoping they have something spectacular up their sleeve or that City win the court case I mean, personally I would be hesitant to think that Trafford could do better than Dubravka, and I think he is championship at best. But if Trafford is going to be good he needs game time. You don’t get good sitting on the bench, but I would not trust him to be effective in the PL. We desperately need a real 8, a RW, a backup ST that could learn from Isak and don’t mind being on the bench for now, so a young one. And with Kelly’s injury record we absolutely need a CB, although we technically need two cause Schar is sadly not getting younger and Burn is definitely not getting faster. Then we have Lacelles that hopefully will be going. But that RW position is the most crucial behind having an actual 8 in my opinion. The other parts we might be able to continue for another season since we don’t have Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Interesting to see us, Everton, Villa and Chelsea help each other meet the PSR deadline. Maatsen to Villa Chelsea want Duran/Kelleyman Dobbin + Iroegbunam swap And now this. Maybe Everton get Wilson in exchange? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Regardless of what anyone thinks of the player it's great to see us asserting our dominance over Everton by taking one of their better players, again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Assuming this is for depth then it's a cracking signing. Gives us an actual 'plan B' from the bench. At the moment if we take of Isak for Wilson there isn't much of a change in how we play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Would be a decent signing but completely uninspiring. Think we have to take into consideration that at this stage, any striker we sign will know they'll be second fiddle and that significantly limits the pool of quality players we can go for. Even a youngsters who's got a high ceiling could be put off by that fact. Not ideal, but understandable. But also a Luke Edwards special so complete bollocks.

It was a bit tounge in cheek. Of course im not excited about signings such as Kelly, DLC or Trafford. Mostly cause it feels like we can’t afford to have misshapen in the transfer market. plus it’s cooler to have some names that are Brazilian and Argentinian you know? either way, can’t do much and just gotta hope that it’s the right moves for the club!

Someone who can take a bit of the weight off Isak's shoulders and still a good age. Think he'd be a great back up striker option. Arguably one of the best in the league. It's quite important we have a good one to keep Isak fresh throughout the season, and to give us a legit two striker option at times. DCL has had one really good manager so far at Everton, in Ancelotti, and he was very good those two years, and that manager raved about him. His profile as a player fits very well with how we play. Looking forward to seeing this whole thing play out if the move happens. Think it will be yet another case of people eating their words, but lets see what happens.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 He's a striker that clubs aiming towards top 8 would take a punt at to try and get you there. To have him as a number 2 option would be excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Always rated DCL as a player. His injuries have cost him a few years. It's up to Howe to once again prove the naysayers wrong and reshape him. I haven't clicked the Torygraph article, so could someone explain the financial side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
