Man United could've bought him when De Gea left. Instead they went for Onana. Chelsea need a keeper. Instead they went for Sanchez. Personally think these clubs look for different things in a keeper - profile, age, clubs, competitions they've played in etc. None of it talent related

I dont think he would. I think he thrives under pressure where some of those keepers for those clubs have fallen flat. He'd have got more plaudits. But the whole debate misses the point entirely and he's being judged over a period where different styles of keepers have been the pick for most...

Said the exact same thing the minute the fee tipped to £30mill

The dream. But seriously though. He's our 3rd most expensive ever signing who's barely starting a game and doesn't look ready either. Send him back to Southampton on loan for a year.

Not buying this personally. Basically asking everyone else to make him look better. Hes a kid we've paid £40mill for who's clearly scared and plays within himself rather than blaming other players around him. The signing is looking exactly how id thought it would. We should be starting McNeil...

Good player

Thats the issue really. When they sit deep and you can't get balls through or over a back line, Beto is useless. It needs a false 9 type who's good on the ball

No. But you can squeeze 8-10 goals out of him whether its coming on as a sub vs tired defence, or going more direct. He's still an option. If we look at the top scorers we have over the past few seasons its been McNeil, Ndiaye, and Beto. McNeil isnt playing, Beto isn't firing, and Ndiaye is...

Personally you still dont get rid of someone like Beto because you need another option to play to his strengths. What Moyes is asking him to do is something he can't do consistently.

He did. And as a number 10. He went to Marseille and played on the left and carried it on here. Its needs exploring. The strikers we have are disrupters who run channels and play off the last man on to through balls (Barry does drop deep). But our creative players want to feed someone more...

Get someone who runs really fast on loan in Jan please Ta

Would be complaining to PGMOL

Yeah, ive mentioned it in another thread. I dont think the strikers compliment the other attacking players because of the type of player they are. Beto is a direct player who doesn't want it to feet, surrounded by players who want a focal point to pass to.

Ndiaye. We've got a forward 3 of players who are high level technically. The issue is we've got a focal point off them who aren't anywhere near good on the ball. Beto is a bulldozer who wants balls over the top and to run on to. Barry looks more like someone who run channels and drop deep for...

He did himself no favours. Hes not getting balls in front to run on, but he's not making runs either. But the whole "need a better striker" doesn't solve other issues. Barry barely touched the ball when he came on
