My guess is they want you to call dispatch...not make a decision....the type of mentality that killed 180 peope on the Alaska flight where the pilots didn't divert with a loosening jackscrew...just sit there talking on the phone....
I have nothing to offer here...I didn't sell out, nor do I have to fly with broken gear, nor have to make decisions based on what people tell me to do contrary to proper professional practices....nor required to take orders that make no sense..
My guess is that you just answer...'so what do you want me to do?...you told me to take off in an unsafe condition...just HOW unsafe is the company requiring me to take it?'

Display ENG page on ECAM, EICAS or whatever.
Monitor Nacelle temperature (I don't think monitoring EGT will have any use).
Have the MEL checked. MEL only applies on ground, but:
In case of No-GO, check if it can be repaired at destination. Divert if it is a no-go and it can't be repaired or you will get stuck. I you are heading to home base, it can be fixed there, so continue.
If you are twin and in ETOPS operation, probably you cannot get into ETOPs airspace. But I'm not sure.
You are still able to detect engine fire with nacelle temperature and you are still able to secure the engine if it happens.
