I thought if David come in he could play the Joshua King role off just behind Isak who is the Wilson so something like Bruno Tonali RW David Gordon Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Howe confirmed yesterday we’ll be taking a risk with outgoing transfers and no incomings (due to June PSR deadline) so I presume we’ll be hoping Wilson can play a part in the second half of this season and hope we can cope until Barnes is back fit.

Yeah seems so. Wilson is aiming for end of the month/early Feb but god knows whether he can get/stay fit. The irony is if he can stay fit he’ll probably help secure champions league. The flip side is it’ll only take a few injuries and we’re bang in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it's impossible just that I don't see it happening personally. But having said that, he's free, so if Howe/Mitchell can convince him to come here and shows him how he would fit into the team then I'm all for it definitely.

Groundhog63 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The club can buy anyone for me and then get them Howed. That applies to Kelly also who is still in the process of being Howed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 1 hour ago, JonBez comesock said: I watched him closely against Villa away earlier in the season He was excellent. i have never been his biggest fan but watching that game showed me he is a very good player if integrated into a proper team structure that create chances. He made 4 or 5 excellent runs , great in the air , hold up play was superb and ver strong , he scored too I just think he lacks confidence at times with Everton Almost unfair to judge forwards playing in teams that aren't proficient at getting the ball consisntently into the final 3rd for a sustained period of time. Even Isak looked poor and out of sorts in the earlier parts of this season when we weren't getting the ball to him in the right areas or at all. He physically has every component you'd want from a striker, he's technically very good, he offers something tactically different to Isak and would be happy being number 2 whilst coming in on a lower financial package that would perhaps help us invest elsewhere. I'd have no issue getting DCL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold up play and movement excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 We need a CF who knows they’ll be 2nd choice. DCL would likely accept this but if he can stay fit he is a good CF. I’d be more than happy with him, Osula and Isak. That might change but as a strike group it looks pretty good. Much will depend on Osula’s progress.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Calvert-Lewin's a big handsome bastard which I think is being underplayed here. Wilson going drops us a few points and Big Dom's the perfect replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 DCL also has a future transfer fee. 4 year deal, does well as a back up for 2 seasons, a newly promoted club would be delighted to have him for a low fee (£10m+). There’s many pros to the deal and if club are still keen, I’d assume they’re fully confident he’s a good guy who will be great for the dressing room.

TRon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 11 hours ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: Think I’d rather just play Osula than buy DCL. Eddie wouldn't though, Osula only gets on the pitch for the last 10 mins if the game is already won. If Isak gets injured, the reality is it would be Gordon up front. How would you feel about that?

Kanj Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 If he comes on a free, replacing Wilson. Fine by me. Nobody really has senior backup strikers these days; offers us something different too. Cool by me. I trust Eddie and Mitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I’ve always been very opposed to DCL, but if funds are limited, he’s available on a free, and it frees up money for first team positions and possibly a big juicy purple RW, then I can’t really complain.

Wouldn't judge a player based on their single best game in a season. Any player can have a game like that. Edited January 18 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
