Dominic Calvert-Lewin

However, I'll never be convinced that DCL is a PL quality centre forward. He's just got.far too many flaws to his game.

What's that? 4000 minutes ISH. 44 games.

So it took him one season and change less than Ferguson to score 8 more goals total.

That's actually not that impressive? Maybe I'm missing the math.
Not carrying a 1 or something?

Lukaku a 1 in 2 goal scorer, DCL and Dunc 1 in 3.

But hey, nowhere near a PL standard striker

So, about this Lukaku fellow.....

[Kerryblueboy]

Was super yesterday could have had a hattrick linked well with duke and ndayie

[The Doc]

I've been very critical of him recently but he was excellent yesterday. Made up for him, massive weight lifted.

He's struggled to live up to that label this season to be fair.

I think he is one, but he's either not been capable post injury, not mentally where he needs to be to do it, or another victim of the dyche effect.

I think it's a combo of all 3 honestly, but number 2 was probably connected to number 3, same for about half the team who've under performed.

Hypothetical, west ham come on for Dom with £15m.

Are you taking it?

Thats an awkward amount. Less than that I absolutely keep him. But passing it up is in effect us paying a £15m loan fee for the rest of the season. Would you see that as value to pay to loan him for 4 months? Absolutely not, but its been that much of a rollercoaster the last few years I just don't think its worth the risk to let him go given how precarious the situation is to let him leave unless we've got someone to come in.

Are you taking it?

Think you have to. It would be a sensible decision. Beto with Chermiti until seasons end, might be a bit rough but it would be enough i feel.

Hypothetical, west ham come on for Dom with £15m.

Are you taking it?

No.

Goals win games and he's just started getting in positions to score, when coupled with his hold up play now we're getting players around him and we lose way too much switching to trampoline shins Beto or asking Chermiti to shoulder the responsibility.

Why take any risks when we need to survive and move in to the new stadium as a premier league team?

[Shogun]

Sell him for £15m in a heartbeat with 6 months left his contract and no intention of signing a new one.

Can I counter that with, Beto is rubbs
