2023/24 Beto

[billyblue80]

Due to the way we insist on playing we are scouting for target men/ hold up type strikers and most modern day strikers are simply not that style of player. They want to be involved more and run onto the ball at feet not have it played in at chest height/head height. It's emphasised even more by the fact most wingers cut inside these days rather than hog the touchline pinging crosses in. Sometimes I just don't think we make it easy for ourselves that's all.

Agree very hard to scout for and even harder for any forward to excel in unless they are literally a target man

Our best hope of a sale is in Italy, where his stock might still be somewhat high.

Unfortunately they have TVs in Italy too

 

[Zatara]

A sensible move wouldnt be to try and swap with Abraham...

...I think we should try a swap deal for Bove.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Not seeing improvement in this lad.

 

[blulouie]

Such a shame this
He really looked the part playing for Udinese with the likes of Geri feeding him.

But the way our "creative" players are performing most forwards would struggle.

I'd like to give him til Xmas to work with Ndayie & Lindstrom , if not move him on.

 

[maccavennie]

Be shocked if we could flip him for more than £10m.

Yeah, looks like a 7m/8m player at worst and a 12m player at the very best.

Doesn't look like anywhere near the level required to cut it.

 

[Preki]

He failed to retain possession twice in quick succession last night. This put pressure on our back four and they scored.
Has to do better.

said many times that thelwells hands have been tied and the fact he had to sign players who we could pay over x years isnt his fault, however, he's watched this lad play and ok'd the signing, that isnt a good sign.

he's every bit as bad as niasse was

Niasse somehow managed to score a few goals along the way

 

[Mrbluenose]

The bar is pretty low.

If he scrapes into double figures and puts himself about a bit most will be happy this coming season.

If he can't manage that, well, he's done.

Beto isn’t fit to lace Niasse’s boots!

Who wouldn’t be happy with 10+ goals?

Hed have had a great season if that was the case mate.

It’s the basics of his game that are the problem though we all know it’s hard to score goals in this team but he needs to be able to control the ball and pass and close down a lot better than he does I think there are good things about him but sometimes he looks like he’s never played before.

I'd swap Beto for Niasse anyday of the week
