I wouldnt change a winning side maybe tweak it beto for docurie try dcl and beto against burnley then take dcl off after a hour if job done
 
Apparently on the rota to work yesterday at KFC. The big man will get chances, a long season ahead and this is an unforgiving physical league, Calvert Lewin is a top tier centre forward but won’t play every minute. Chermiti is still learning as well.
Dyche wants his forwards to press hard for 90 minutes and Beto looks like he needs to develop that part of his game as he looks like he’s never done it before, I’m sure he will improve and he’s already a better option than Neal Maupey could ever dream of.
 
Chermiti is in a similar boat and again deserves game time, but in order of where we are now Beto should be getting close to half an hour given how many minutes injury time is tacked on.
If Dyche or whoever still doesn't fancy him in the summer or next January then we can look to move him on and Chermiti gets bumped up to that role.

We've paid 40 million for these two and the only way you get that back or in an ideal situation more is if they play regularly and score goals, we can't afford to create situations like what we had with Tosun. If you buy a player on a punt for a few million fair enough, but not 20+.

In a results based business I know it is difficult to do but with limited funds that need to be managed carefully to help improve the squad to help the results, this is not something we can just ignore.
To be fair, the game still needed to be played out yesterday. I could see why Dyche wasn't quick to make subs it was a proper team performance and chaning the dynamics of this could have changed the result.

We are now in a situation where we all predicted. A 100% fit DCL keeps out any second choice striker. Beto should get 90 mins against Burnley. As much as I would like a run in the cup I would rather we get players fit to stay up.

I actually think £20m is the new "punt" range for a premier league striker. You are not buying proven quality for less than that.

Yes it's a fair summary.

By definition a punt wouldn't be buying proven PL quality. What did we pay Sheffield utd for DCL, 1.5 million? So if we call that in today's equivalent 5 million, you can spend that and hope it pays off but haven't broken the bank so no need to push it. At Chermiti's (up to 15-17m after add ons and Beto at 22m that is a lot of capital tied up. We need to start making returns on all these younger players and recycle into better young players and so on.
 

…strange bringing on Chermiti ahead of him. Maybe Dyche isn’t overly impressed or isn’t happy with his training.

I thought it was for the press myself mate and he has that bit more pace to stretch or take it to the corner if we could hit him with an out ball in that phase of the game when we were under the Kosh.

Dyche was shouting at him in the game when he came on the other week for not challenging for the ball but that isn't really his game if you ever saw him for Udinese. He wants it played in front of him to run onto at feet, you can see him pointing to the ground at times. I hope we can find some use for him and we did have to get someone in for backup but I did find it a slightly strange signing as his profile doesn't quite match the way we play.
