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.

Yeah he was very good in that game, did miss a couple very good chances from memory. Hold up play and movement excellent.

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.

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.

[Sibierski]

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.

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?

Fashionable as well.

Thankfully Ian, we have a genuis at work managing us and not your lovely self 😊

[Kanj]

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. 

[Kimbo]

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.

That was probably his best game all season. Wouldn't judge a player based on their single best game in a season. Any player can have a game like that.

You can shove yer Calvert Lewin up your A**e and f**k off whilst you’re doing it. . 

[MagCA]

Make a splash. 

 

Surely we can't stand still AGAIN.

Desperately need a refresh

[johnny36]

We have had a great 5 weeks but squad are tired..Fringe players not getting gametime ( Almiron, Longstaff, Kelly) to be moved on and bring in hungry players and freshen things up a bit

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

Pace at the back please, if today's game showed us anything it’s how one paced much of our team is outside of Tonali and the front 3

Its imperative we sign an athletic partner for Botman he needs to be the total package which is a big ask.

That’s my read of it. Gone so hard for so long with minimal rotation and it was always going to catch up with us. We don’t have the depth of a City or Liverpool who can do that (cheers cunty Sinister Six…)
 

Beyond 14 players, we’ve got a pool of Almiron, Longstaff and others who are miles off the pace and can’t be relied on any more. These blips will happen until we bolster the squad and bench with genuine game changers.

Shame we aren’t able to strengthen, mentioned yesterday I thought we would need help in the market to get Europe. Frustrating that we aren’t able to do anything for the 3rd successive window.

The Guehi and Olise bids tell us we have money to spend/willing to sacrifice someone for PSR.

Aye, although we would have had longer to try and make that money back. Still frustrating we don’t seem willing to get sponsors in tbh.

This is the worry that if things go a bit stale we are risking losing champions league opportunity.
