2023/24 Beto

Im repeating myself but in the summer his £21.5mil payments begin.

Im still convinced we should sell in Jan or summer for above that fee (along with a couple more players)...then reinvest in someone young and quick who can play wide or up top.

NO ONE is paying more than 21.5m for him in January Zat.

Why not?

Terrible performance but I think he’ll come good. The supply was absolutely abysmal today for him which made his runs look stupid but if it’d been Garner on the ball more than Doucoure I think he’d have been played in a couple of times.

 

[maccavennie]

Why not?

Because he's not shown anything at all to be worth anywhere near that amount thats why.

Wouldn't get 2.1m for him based on that performance tonight.

Hes not got a CV only with us...hes scored goals before. Saudi and Italy would welcome him.

Yeah for 2.1m

He's going to have to show far more to be worth anywhere near what we're going to have to pay end of the season.

….it was as poor a striker performance as I’ve seen for a long time. Not once did he get in front of his marker when a cross came in and he did little to relieve the pressure when the ball was played up to him. Totally frustrating. He will never be a poacher, he’s hit or miss and sadly he’s much more miss than hit. The fact that he’s a willing competitor is all he has going for him.

I recall @Zatara (I think) saying what great business it was buying him and Chermitti because they cost nothing for 12 months. Truth is, they cost £40m at some stage and both of them look totally inadequate.

I agree, it wasn't the best striker performance but he hasn't had that many minutes also. The last three seasons (Liga Nos and Serie A twice) he has been able to score 10 or more goals excluding cup matches. You don't reach those numbers in three consecutive seasons without some ability.

At this stage I'm not willing to write him off.

Why are people wanting to sell after 4 months and 4 starts? We’ve had far worse strikers that got more leeway ffs

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

Why not?

Because he can't control a football.

 

[Caolam]

Beto has the touch of a baby elephant.

Because it's Zat.

 

[Mr Mig]

Love Beto….there is a very good player in there…..

…I really don’t get these ‘not many minutes’ shouts. What you see is what he is. To think he’s all of a sudden going to become effective is not going to happen.

i’ll predict Okoronkwo will leapfrog Beto and Chermiti of them by the end of next season.
