Seen a bit of (yes I know its normally a load of bull) talk about us offering a contract to DCL. Surely that cab’t be true?

Nooooooooooooooooooo.

Pay as you play?
He’s still the best forward we have but I feel we could do better.
He can’t be paid £100k a week to just turn up. Drop his base rate and offer him big bonuses for goals and games played…
I’ve no idea if that is possible but wouldn’t it be nice to rediscover his scoring form from that one year he was prolific?

He’s just changed his agent and they have requested a meeting with DM to discuss his contract. Reported in the i news today.
It would be interesting to see how he performs in the post SD era with potentially better service from McNeill, Alcaraz and N’dyai. As much as I love Betos desire and determination, DCL keeps hold of the ball really well and his passing is better. Given decent service with players running off his lay offs I think he’d be a better choice. Chermiti needs game time as well but he’s missed a lot of game time.

If true we have learned nothing and have no ambition, I hope it's all nonsense we cannot be this stupid.

If we can pay him in handbags rather than money then I think it’s an ok deal and probs one that everyone involved would be happy with.

Well we would have a striker who has cost nothing in a transfer fee, and is certainly better than what we have. Or we could go out and blow 25m on another striker like Beto?

Good point Brass.

I see so we keep a striker who doesn't score many goals and is constantly injured because it's better than paying for a new striker, well we are really moving forward aren't we, thought Davey had an eye for a bargain, is this the type of bargain he would look at?
