Will definitely be less plus he only got a three year contract, less than I think he had on the table from us.

From the BBC
Leeds managing director Robbie Evans believes former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the right man to fire the whites to premier league safety this season.
Good luck with that

Calvert-Lewin has only 13 goals in the last 3 seasons but at 28 and with england caps under his belt,Evans believes his arrival is a coup.
We're very proud of the way we went and got dom, who by the way turned down a champions league contract the day we signed him.
We are thrilled he's here.
I'm thinking Celtic or Rangers before both of them embarrassed themselves in the qualifiers last week.
Like Robioto, i don't wish him any ill wind, good luck to the lad, just not against us.
However just like Gash i think he's totally deluded to think that after what he's turned in over the last 3 seasons he deserves a significant increase on £90,000 per week.
The reality was after not signing a new contract he was always going to end up at one of the promoted clubs and the only champions league club that would show an interest in him would be either of the Glasgow teams

Very envious of the chances the likes of Leeds make for DCL.

That’s it. No context.

The cross from Gnonto for his goal yesterday was an absolute peach.

He’s in good form. Good on him, I hope he has a great season. This obsession many blues have to want to see him fail is pretty pathetic.

No grudge against DCL, I hope he stays fit and does alright. However, I think it's slightly over egging the pudding to say they're creating lots of chances for him of late. I'll give you the last goal against Brentford and his first goal against Wolves were from good crosses, particularly the one against Brentford. One was a penalty against Liverpool. The other two were basically tap ins from defensive errors on or close to the line.

Think it’s just down to style.

Farke’s coached teams like this before, often threatening in attack but open at the back.

Usually ends up looking good for your attacker’s output when you get lots of bodies up in support of them but not always great for picking up points depending on what happens when you lose the ball.

He needed a change of scenery one way or the other. I don’t think he does significantly better at the job Barry’s currently being asked to do.
