Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Cozzie]

Would be a shame to lose him, but if we recruit well if he does go then so be it.

Would like to think we could turn his head with a new contract.

[Toffee1]

Probably an easy assumption but DCL goes to Newcastle and we go after Tammy Abraham.

[Bornblue88]

I think if he did leave then Thelwell would need to pull a rabbit out of a hat in replacing him. With a year left on his contract I can’t see us getting a big enough fee to just go out and spend it on someone who’s as good. Maybe talent wise we could get somebody better but not a player who’s ready to go in the prem. he should sign a new contract anyway after all we’ve done for him

[AjaxAndy]

We already signed DCL's replacement... Beto!

[Gash]

He'll always split opinion but he's got 57 goals and 15 assists for us in 8 years, had 18 good months around Covid but he's been injury prone and woefully out of form since 2021 other than a purple patch towards the end of last season. I know that's always someone else's fault but if he's not going to sign a contract with us and we can get a fee for him now then we need to sell him.

[Toffee1]

If he does go, would his sale be good for PSR as we paid a small fee for him in the first place or am reading too much into it?

[AjaxAndy]

DCL is elite level at certain aspects of his game, and those aspects are the ones that suit a Dyche game perfectly.

It's not so much we couldn't get a decent replacement with the money, I for one would love some random African or Scandinavian bags man, but more could we get someone who actually suits Dyche's tactics so well?

When you're a functional team relying on all the aspects to work together to be effective it's dangerous replacing someone who's skillset is so perfectly suited to the system.

[Bluedylan1]

Wouldn't want him to go in an ideal world, but I think if he's not gonna sign, you've gotta get what you can for him.

And I don't begrudge him going in the slightest. He doesn't owe us anything. Would wish him well, and hope that we reinvest well.

[Shogun]

I know you have to back yourself but he’s never starting ahead of Isak

Possible that Isak might be on the move - Arsenal were alleged to be interested in him.

Yeah we'll have paid off his fee (£1.5m?) long ago. So any sale is listed as pure profit.

[Bornblue88]

I think bailing is now for a low fee would be a snake move tbh

[Escalator]

Yeah we'll have paid off his fee (£1.5m?) long ago. So any sale is listed as pure profit.

What do you reckon we could get for him, £20/30 million ?

[cassius]

No idea really, but probably the same amount we'd pay for their winger. I think that was quoted at €30m?

Please no
