Season › 2023-24 › News
Newcastle United appear to have followed up on their long-standing interest in Dominic Calvert-Lewin amid reports they have begun negotiations with both Everton and the player.
That’s according to The Telegraph who say that the Magpies have plenty of work to do agree terms with both parties but the player is said to be keen and there is confidence in the northeast that a deal can be done.
Calvert-Lewin is entering the final 12 months of his contract at Everton and has an offer on the table to extend his stay but he also represents a potential profit for the Blues should he elect to move on rather than sign new terms.
The talks between the two clubs could see Yankuba Minteh go the other way to Goodison Park.

The 19-year-old Gambian winger spent last season on loan at Feyenoord and has one other serious suitor according to the Telegraph report. That club is believed to be Roma who have been linked with a €30m move while Marseille are also in the mix.

Christie, I agree regarding DCL but we might benefit from selling him and buying a more ruthless, strong and agressive nr9 as long as we build a team that provides scoring opportunities.

It will be interesting to see how Dominic does in a team where he will not be the only genuine centre forward, and not forced to play every game unless hes 100% fit, so maybe its time for him to move on for his own career

Dobbin will be pure profit.
DCL joined in 2016 so again his £1,5m fee is fully written off.
Even Ben Godfrey is in the books at only £10m – £7m as I suspect he never qualified for the add ons.
Looking good – provided we can get a team together.
DCL for me is a great target man but not a fox in the box. He makes the team play well and makes the team score goals, not someone who scores a lot (except under Carlo).

Also hope Ndiaye comes, but Dyche does love a big target man, which would mean Beto up top more often than not. Doesn’t fill me with hope for the season, I have to be honest.

Almost as ridiculous as United’s offer for JB.

Fair enough I suppose, but I still think he’d be a decent signing for them – his hold up play and spring-loaded leap, together with their pacey wingers and midfield could be a marriage made in heaven.

While we, Michael, will see carthorse Beto have passes bouncing off him all over the place.
DCL is a fine footballer and some of the things he does somehoe go unseen by Evertonians.
Put it this way I’ve seen DCL do things Beto won’t even be brass necked enough to dream about doing.

What the heck are Everton doing, whilst DCL is not Lukaku, and many of our fans said he wasn’t good enough too, to replace DCL for our number 9, let’s just say I wouldn’t trust Thelwell and co. Remember the other one he got from Wolves and the winger cliche Dyche didn’t like. This PPR is nuts for the risks we’re taking, 1) Dobbin and now 2) DCL, a proper number 9. It feels like Thelwell has not considered the PPR tactics biting him on the arse.

We should be doing our best to keep Calvert-Lewin, but with 12mths left on his contract, if he won’t sign, there’s not much we can do, but nothing less than £35m. If he goes to Newcastle, he won’t know himself, just having to play upfront, instead of playing all over the field, including defense, which he had to do for us. Hopefully Mourinho will take Beto off our hands, and we can also get rid of Maupay, and spend big on a no.9, but Dom would be a massive loss.

It’s sometimes passed people by that he’s been at Everton since August 2016 and he’s at an age and a stage of his career now here this is his last big move and also our last chance of a payday.
We will absolutely need to sign a number one striker however if he leaves and it will need to be someone that is capable of hitting the ground running, not another Beto or Chermiti.

I thought we had got over stupid mistakes, but letting DCL go would be another one. He proved what his capabilities are in the Derby game. And prior to that game the games he played he never seemed fully fit. We all complained when he wasn’t fit. Beto is not the answer if DCL is sold, and to replace him, the transfer fee quoted for him would not cover the cost to replace him.

DCL has been prancing about in handbags and other stuff whilst being paid stupid money from us. You would think he would consider us in his decision. Or Dyche had got the very breakable man back to a player for its sake. All of this protection for Branthwaite has gotten cultish, ergo no balance in our decision making.

£20m is not a terrible price for a player with only a year left on his contract and with a record of injury problems. I suppose those who have always regarded DCL as ‘Championship at best will expect him to be easily replaced. I hope that proves to be the case. I suspect it may not.

Bill #16] Im sure the club dont want DCL to leave. The problem is that if DCL refuses the new offer the only choice the club has is
1) sell him, or
2) keep him and watch him leave on a free next June.
I suspect we can really afford option 2.

Moshiri does own EFC, but I doubt he’s very interested in the comings and goings at this moment in time.
So any DCL move will be purely down to Thelwell and Dyche.

John (22), Good post John, unfortunately only twelve months left on his contract reduces Dominics value dramatically, a good player for me, Everton are not pushing him out of the door they have offered him a new contract so it is up to Dominic what happens next, Id like him to stay but wish him well whatever materialises in the future.

John#19 That’s the kind of immature comment that infuriates me on ToffeeWeb about Dom. What he does off the field is his business, and you then say ‘ he should consider us in his decision’!
There’s no way we can buy a striker of Dom’s quality for £15m/£20m, remember we bought Maupay for £15m. I don’t mind taking the young winger from Newcastle, but who does he cross it too, the limited quality of Beto or Chermiti?

He will be extremely hard to replace with a striker who is better at that isolated role. He will be extremely hard to replace with a striker who is as good now (albeit he could be replaced with a striker who could become better in 2 to 3 seasons).
Beto is clearly not as good. Chermiti is promising but probably needs a season on loan somewhere to develop.
The sensible thing to do is offer him a new contract and hopes he takes it.

Christy, whilst getting paid for modelling handbags and stuff, he still was getting paid circa probably circa £100,000 a week. We are trying to keep the lights on — on our club at the moment. I don’t really care what DCL does off the field, I was just making the point that we have paid him to get his body fixed and Dyche deserves credit for that, but now apparently he’s off and some on here our wishing Dom God speed (salutes). Maybe we’re a refuge for broken players, ergo Deli. This is not some woke movie, on the contrary, this is about our continued existence.

Let me be the first to say this – I think this is Friedkin paving the way for Tammy Abraham to come in from Roma, with probably Beto going the other way.
Kieran Kinsella
34 Posted
22/06/2024 at

There is another side to that equation. He was basically injured for two years which is why we probably didn’t offer him a new contract sooner. Just as with Barkley when he had a dip in form we held off from giving him a new deal but then got upset when left for a nominal fee as his contract ran down. If we had offered him a new deal last summer then we wouldn’t be in this spot. But we didn’t — probably wisely — based on how the situation appeared at the time. But, luckily for both parties he got fit. Had he not then its entirely possible his playing days would be over.

I think hes an excellent SF, but he doesnt score enough goals.
Granted the supply he gets its nothing short of shite, but I do feel he still is not the full article.
I doubt we will rely on Beto, I fell we will replace DCL with a better version.
Good luck to him if he goes, he had led our line very well.

12 months left on his contract, so no surprise it’s only £20m. If Branthwaite only had 12 months to go, Manure would have offered less then £35m, much less.
We just need to get a decent striker in to replace, whether Tammy Abrahams fits that description, I’m not so sure. The lad at Luton would be my preference – can’t remember his name but he scored against us at their place.
On another note – Go and get Coufal on a free for RB next season. Forget his age, he’s as fit as a Dyche Bull Terrier.

Apparently DCL wants to leave, if he wont sign a new contract then selling him is 100% the right decision.
I also think its possible people have (as usual) written off Beto a bit prematurely. Yes he will be frustrating and the ball may bounce off him at times but if he gets a run of games I reckon he may well surprise a few. Hell get more goals than DCL did last season if first choice.

I didn’t use a “homophobic adjacent remarks?”
I think if people really seen what goes on in the real world around them am convinced that their heads would fall off. The media will tell you stuff like going to Iraq, not for the energy war, but to remove the bad man, or on Russia against The Ukraine, evil Russia. Folks, sorry to burst your bubble this is called propaganda for energy wars. I do stuff in the family that if you seen what secrets the corrupt family court professionals hide, that many would not go to sleep for fear of “adjacent nightmares.” I see such corruption as though it were a bizarre type of normality (sociologist Bauman said that about the Nazis). All the bad stuff predicted a long time of go such as efficiency and dominant class professionals, I see it all in a family court run like a McDonald’s factory. They justify covering child abuse and they gaslight young mums with learning difficulties..their children keep them in jobs is what I learnt. Corruption happens where there is deprivation and after when the recession hit in 2008, the EU forced local councils to cut welfare budgets and now family court professionals have adopted a shocking type of corruption. Now when people say words like homophobic, I just think they’re educated by their TV or neo liberal uni lecturers. They cover up child abuse by paedophile foster carers, or those same who shake babies and then other careers claim over a £1000 a week for disabilities and in adoption and they’re protected and even the links to say Magistrates and Crown Court, they’re protected. You will never see this reported on your TV boxes or on your Twitter feeds. The only breach of the rule of law that will be regurgitated is when they need propaganda for energy wars. The paradigm is different for social workers, they will use the most extreme narratives to justify it all. Laws create industries and industry creates the economy. Are there really such ideas of individual rights, Plato said it’s not possible and though I will use every European Convention Article I know of, I would say no as if society cover up child abuse and mother’s rights as though they were verbalised print synonymous with Supermarket Sweep on steroids, I doubt very much gay rights are real.

Robert, 31, “Chermiti is promising but probably needs a season on loan somewhere to develop”. True because Dyche either doesnt play younger players at all or gives them the last few minutes. An example is Dobbin who will leave as he hasnt been given a chance.

I am a massive fans of Dominic, but we cant allow him to leave without a fee. Equally, he has been with us for 8 years so he has earned the right to take up a new challenge.
To Johns original point, I would not approve a sale before a replacement is signed unless the looming 30th June deadline is the reason for the haste.

Kieran, 29, not sure how it is calculated, but in the last 3 seasons we have lost £255M and our transfer net spend is £73.9M. I would guess at least £50M to £60M. I dont think we have to reduce the £255 to £105 million. There must be a formula based on those two figures.

Of course, he’s not a natural goal scorer and doesn’t have much of a shot on him, but he is very skillful in other areas, leads us from the front and fits right into Dyche’s ethos. I’ll repeat what I said on another thread, in our current financial and ownership situation, any sales of our better players are worrying as it would seem we will only be getting inferior quality in as a replacement. DCL – much more than Branthwaite in my opinion – is key to how we currently play. I would be trying hard to avoid this if I was in Dyche’s shoes. And I suspect he will.

The chance of glamour and excitement to “challenge” should be taken and he should go but I’m old school and think 90% of footy stats a joke (see what I did?) so what do I know?

I like the look of the young Ferguson at Brighton. He was less good last season but certainly has potential. Not sure he would come to us. Would like us to scout the next Toney rather than look at has-beens from other clubs.
I would wish Calvert-Lewin all the best though. He would leave under better circumstances than Gordon did.

I just saw something in the club, the people, the passion, even when I was in primary school, Everton were just different, humble but incredible. I have been lucky enough to see Everton (us) (my girlfriend tells me off for that,so sorry if I offend anyone) at Goodison a few times now and flipping wow! The people…everyone thats works with the club just oozes class and pride. If I was ever good enough or lucky enough to play for this beautiful club, I would have had to be dragged out before I left. I apologise, I have probably had one to many beers in the sun. I honestly just dont understand why anyone would walk away.

I like the player but the facts are Dominic has had a difficult couple of years, including the unfortunate reaction to his substitution with a serious injury that wasnt apparent to frustrated fans, and has recently become a father.
If he fancies a different challenge whilst probably boosting his wages then its sensible to let him leave.
Is it just the fee quoted or that plus the young winger? A fully recovered Tammy Abraham would be a good replacement and if Beto goes out and someone like Broja is snagged then I dont see we will be disadvantaged.

“Merseyside Football Correspondent” is an RS and equally unreliable.
If we have to make a sale to comply with PSR surely the inevitable departure of Onana will be enough.
How on earth could we replace DCL who now appears to be fully fit, for the derisory £20M reputedly offered by the Barcodes?
With just two other (unproven) strikers on the books, this story is preposterous.
