Think that’s the point. Aim for someone with upside. Beto has none.
We were one goal away from being relegated last season. I agree that there should be mid to long term investment which is what Chermiti represents, so our next signing should be for a striker who can see us safely through this season and next. Therefore what signing would you see as being the signing we can make that does that, but also has the upside you are referring to? i suspect your upside would take a few years to mature but contributes very little to the current season - we do not have that luxury.
 


How good is Beto?
Standing at 6 foot 4, Beto is a taller figure and has averaged 1.8 shots and 2.2 aerial wins across the duration of his career, as per WhoScored, but has hit double-digits across all four league campaigns of his career, including 22 goals across his two years in Serie A.

The 25-year-old also ranks among the top 20% of forwards across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for successful take-ons, the top 10% for clearances and the top 25% for interceptions per 90, as per FBref, illustrating his Richarlison-like tenacity and relentlessness that could slot into Everton's system seamlessly.

He has been lauded for his "quality" and intelligence by journalist Josh Bunting, and his ten league goals and 1.8 shots per match last term, as per Sofascore, were not bettered by Everton forwards Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Neal Maupay and Demarai Gray.

With journalist Sam Tighe also waxing lyrical over the ace's ability to "spook defenders", claiming that makes the opposition panic with his brutish presence and physicality, he could emulate Richarlison in his imperious former role at Goodison Park, and could perhaps finally restore some offensive verve to the Toffees' frontline.
Sounds not a bit like Richarlison whose brutish falling over meant he was half a season on his ass.
 
This has all the hallmarks of a Watford signing. He'd sign for them and half a rapid start to the season bagging 6 in his first 6 games. Big links in January to all the big clubs for £40m+, only to go on a barren run of 1 goal in his final 20 games before being loaned back to Udinese and completing a permanent switch the season after that.
