2024/25 Beto

[Runub]

Rookie numbers.

Fully expect to score at least a goal a game for the rest of the season.

No longer are our Strikers feeding on scraps, it's a buffet.

Finger lickin good

 

[Boston Blue Sox]

He's Portuguese
He used to work at KFC
We bought him 'cuz we could defer his fee
Be -eh - to!

 

[MACCA75]

Wrap him in cotton wool.

 

[micknick]

He’s running the channels playing on the last man. I.e. playing to what strengths he has.
Asking him to be included too much in the build up isn’t his game. His second touch is normally foul.

Promising signs but it’s one game

I hope he scores loads more but he's got to drop that goal celebration of knees-up-slappa-my-thigh thing. (The only other person I can remember doing it was that centre forward who was on fire at Villa and then Liverpool and Palace bought him and turned him into Maupay. I can't remember his name, I think the goal celebration has thankfully blocked it from my memory). Awful, truly awful. You're better than that Beto!

Benteke?

Benteke, got injured just before the world cup in Brazil and Lukaku had the Belgian CF spot nailed in. He was never the same after that injury.
Don`t care how Beto celebrates, and if that`s how he wants to I hope to be seeing it weekly.

Benteke?

That's him!

 

[Huyton Layne]

Bless.

Love how humble he is. Also like the fact he acknowledges the flaws in his game and wants to improve them.

 

[Bryan+]

Bless.

This is the footballing equivalent of getting a new bird who loves you just as you are x

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Nice to hear him backing himself to score.

As other have said - he just needs the right kind of support feeding him up front, i.e. actually playing to his strengths.

 

[Efcjake]

If Beto stays fit until the end of the season then we should be fine.

However I'm not convinced that any of Beto , DCL or Broja are the answer if we aspire to become a top 6 team. Chermitti ? I haven't got a clue.

Steady on Jazz we have been battling relegation for about four years now.

+1, this fanbase has been humbled enough after taking midtable for granted for years.

that being said, it's definitely possible for us to aspire for more given that we have pickford in net. our GAs are top 6, and i'd love to take advantage of his prime

 

[Gilbert..]

I mean who knows.
He's not going to start playing like Teddy Sherringham or Bergkamp with deft touches but i can see the confidence in him going through the roof. Couple that with his enthusiasm and i think he'll bag a few. Awkward and goals works for me.
