Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[18nufc92]

A lot of negativity and dare I say panic in this thread. Calvert-Lewin is a good player. Yes he has his injury problems, which is an obvious concern, but he’s a typical Eddie Howe player. Works hard pressing defenders, makes good runs in behind, can hold up the ball well and is great on the air. He would add a lot to our attacking options. Ultimately it will come down to price. If we can get him for £30 million or under and if we can keep him fit, he would be an astute purchase.

I agree 18nufc92, he is a good player when fit, and would fit our system well. As others have said though, it's the keeping him fit part that's in question.
It's a gamble.
At the right price I reckon it's worth taking, around the 25m mark would be fine by me, any more and it's a no.
Eddie's been sniffing around him for a good while, and I trust him 100%

We don't seem to be very good at that.

My position is that the lad has only scored double figures twice about 4 season ago 13 and 16 goals.

A strikers job is to score goals. I don't know if I agree that he would add a lot to our attack.

He is well know for his poor fitness record. Last season he actually played 32 but only scored 7 goals and 2 assists.

That is not good enough for a club who want to challenge the top 4 next season.

Compare this to Richarlison. A player we can all agree had a rubbish season for spur. Who is not Spurs main striker. That is Son.

The Brazilian played just 28 games, 11 goals, 4 assists.

We would be fuming if the club was looking at signing Richarlison becuase of his perceived lack of output.

DCL's goals to game ratio is 50% of Wilsons.

The price would have to be £8‐10m for this to even make sense, considering we are alleged to be over the PSR limit.

For me, personally, lookong at the cold hard numbers, not the emotions none of this makes any logical sense, no matter which way you cut it.
