surprised that people think DCL is still "making his mind up" whether to stay or not. i'd bet the farm that he's made his mind up and he's going in the summer for a big wage at NUFC. i just think that relationship is somewhat damaged, between him and the fans that is. DCL is obviously too professional to come out and say that, and it wouldn't be in his best interests to say that either, so he won't. but, i look back at two incidents. the time DCL remarked that he'd wanted a song, i.e. he was maybe resentful that other players get more appreciation than he does? and then there was also the time he was unfairly booed when he got that cheek injury, and his dad went on facebook to mock evertonians and what brands of clothes they wear (tory behaviour btw). i understand why nobody is following up on that line of questioning with him, because it's quite awkward for all involved. but either way, DCL is going, nailed on. for me, it's time to move on from DCL and focus on other strikers. beto, imo, is much better than many give him credit for. consistently performs better on xG than DCL. i'd rather a striker who scores goals than one who "brings so much to the team" as we always hear when we talk about DCL. to be able to work with a striker who doesn't score, but plays a good support role, you need prolific goal scoring wingers, which we don't really have. so 🤷♂ it is what it is. give beto a few games, i reckon. when broja is fit, let him show us what he can do. same with chermiti when the time comes. and if none of them suit, maybe the friedkins will be by january and we can possibly sign a new centre forward and see that position settled sooner than we thought we might.
His career won't long once he leaves Everton. Nobody else would guarantee him a starting role with a goal every 7 games and barely any assists for a player whose link up play is massively overrated by Evertonians - his inability to strike a ball cleanly means he never finds the wide men and his lack of pace and dribbling ability means he needs runners close to him at expense of team shape. For what? A goal every 7 games and rarely fit? He must have the best agent and PR firm in football behind him. An average journeyman like Chris Wood has DOUBLE his output in largely equally poor sides to ours.
Stay….BUT as a sub since he is not good enough to be a first choice striker for any Prem team with any kind of ambition. We KNOW him too well (as a player of course) but sometimes i wonder if HE truly knows himself. It is as if the Dunning-Kruger effect might apply to sport too
I have a song for him,the sex pistols pretty vacant! Hes so pretty oh so pretty useless,the lad barely scores for us,barely assists so get in someone who can do both those tasks!
