Went with Beto, just about, on the basis that we look more likely, as a team, to score when Beto is on. They are both shocking in front of goal at the moment, however, Beto is quick enough and awkward enough to unsettle defences. His glaring miss towards the end yesterday was so interesting, he bent his run and managed to stay on side, his pace and first touch took him clear of the defender, he then ballooned it over the bar, but, the problem with Calvert Lewin at the moment is that in the same situation, he would have been caught off side.
 

We’re not filling the team with kids Zat, we haven’t even started paying for Beto and based on form and injury record, absolutely no one is taking a chance on Dom
If the price is right then they certainly will do. Managers are arrogant as hell and they always want to be 'that guy' who says I got DCL scoring again. However so few teams play with an actual target man type these days that I would probably agree with you and say that even on the cheap I don't think anyone is coming in for him anytime soon.

I can see Beto moving for £20mil. I can also see DCL being taken for £20-30mil.

Agree or not, they provide options and upside to a variety of teams.

Take the money and buy one player up top while keeping Chermiti as back up.

Theres low risk in this...compared with the risk we have today of never seeing effective forward play leading to goals.

For me, £40mil gets us alot of options. This is our major weakness aside from right wing.

Not in a million years. His injury record, poor form and his contract is up next summer. We will be lucky to get more than 15.
 
How is that an issue? We hold the contract and so book value will be lower and beneficial FFP wise for us ;) :p

We have a legally biding contract to pay a certain amount for him, with dates when payments are due.

We decide we don`t want him and want to get rid.

Another club comes in, but wants to offer much less.

What happens then ?

Do we pay it in full and then sell at a loss, do we make the first payment, then sell at a loss and top up the loss with our own money ??

Do the other club take over the payments and we top up the rest of the money due ???

It`s never happening in a million years.
