'It's time to move on' - fans on Dominic Calvert-Lewin departure
We asked for your views on Dominic Calvert-Lewin leaving Everton this summer and whether you wished he would have stayed. Here are some of your comments:Jack: I think it's best for both DCL and Everton that he moves on. He's not the player he was two or three years ago. His persistent injuries have not helped so, thank you for your time here and good luck in the Although I appreciate his initial hard work and goals, his later years were more about his injuries than his goals and output.

Shake hands and wish him the It's a shame we couldn't hold on to him for one more season as a squad player with a generous contract until we could get a new DCL was offered a contract by Everton as were other players who have now left.

Good luck to DCL but in reality, it's his loss not Everton' I do like Dominic but it's time to move on, he just can't stay fit and score regular goals. We have to adapt and ask the rest of the squad to contribute to goals, it's how most teams play now and it's makes His decision best suits all parties.
