Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Would anyone take Dominic Calvert Lewin on a free? If he could stay clear of injuries he’d be a very good back up for Ollie,

I was thinking exactly the same this week. In many ways the perfect non-threatening (in terms of starting place) backup.

[LeeB]

He's a decent centre forward but his injury record is terrible.

Even when he is fit he doesn't score. Eighteen goals in his last hundred matches is the sort of record that would see us pining for the Heskey days.

Why wouldn't we just play Malen?

I'm not sure he's even decent, the 2 COVID seasons are the only time he's looked capable of being even a 1 in 3 striker.

For his all round game he's a decent targetman but that's all now the injuries have taken whatever pace he had.

If he stayed fit he'd be worth a chance. However, if he stayed fit, he'd have left Everton years ago. Sadly for him, he doesn't.

Good player when/if fit, but he will want a decent wage as well, given this is his last big contract, can see him ending up at Newcastle as an Isak backup.

It's reported we're back again for Semih Kılıçsoy. He had a brilliant season in 23/24 but off the boil in 24/25. Maybe he was really pissed off he never joined us last summer.  I don't think we could go wrong with £13m for the 19 year old but of course it will never happen.

My guess is that he'll end up back at Sheffield United, where he started, his local team etc.

14 goals in 59 appearances for his current club (1 in 6) isn't a great return, but he's young and still learning. Would he be better than if we were to give Wilson some games?

Calvert-Lewin is indeed Heskeyesque.

No thanks from me

[DB]

Injury prone, poor conversion rate, high wages....no thanks.

[paul_e]

Injury prone, poor conversion rate, high wages....no thanks.

Also guilty of one of the worst misses of the year last season against us.

You can add crimes against fashion to the charge sheet.

Calvert-Lewin? No thanks - if we were going for a released striker with PL experience I’d prefer a year with Vardy on the bench
