Menace Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Literally no one wanted DCL and you know he would've injured his hamstring and been out for 4 months the minute he'd signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 It’s very clear now you should not buy players coming off a career season unless you genuinely believe they are a top quality talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTONEW Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The club's recruitment team made the decision on DCL. What we all thought had zero effect. But at the time the collective opinion was more based on the hope we'd reach to higher levels. Hindsight is a fine thing...and he'd have done a great job for us. But none of us predicated the way the Summer would turn out. But yeh, he probably would have got himself injured straight away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc123 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 There would be rage if we signed DCL . Dont blame the club for going after Wissa, it was the right thing to do at the time. Unfortunately its now one of our worst signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Aye, I had extremely high hopes for him as he's a player I really liked. He's played more like Riviere than the player I thought we'd signed though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovagod Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 A garbage player who played pretty much the same trick as Dickface that went to Liverpool (whatever we told ourselves). Feel no affinity with him and want him binned asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 So disappointing man, I really liked the idea of him signing but it’s been really poor. Let’s hope he’s another one who can settle in after a proper pre season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. I can’t be arsed to look either but I’m sure I was pro signing DCL tbh. If not on here then certainly offline I was vocally supportive of it.

GEFAFWISP Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 DCL would be equally shit here, it's systemic. Then again he might not get a Greggs addiction and go full Kluivert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Just now, GEFAFWISP said: DCL would be equally shit here, it's systemic. Then again he might not get a Greggs addiction and go full Kluivert. He’d be miles better than the two we signed this summer. He can hold the ball up, run in behind and be a focal point/nuisance for defenders to cope with every single week. Wolte and Wissa can’t run nor hold the ball up. So he’s already miles more effective than them based on that alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Since Howe is allergic to the loan market DCL seemed like an obvious signing. I still would have preferred Wissa even at a daft price like but nobody could have guessed he'd be out until Christmas and then trying to get back into a tired side.
