It is just my opinion, but it's also what's likely to happen as Dyche teams don't score a lot of goals. Maybe an overexaggeration that he'd be on 0, but he'll defo be on like 2 and will be dubbed crap and we'll be asking for DCL back. Same as Richarlison - "oh, he's crap him, only 7 goals" or whatever, but he was an instant loss.
Beto scored 3 and only started 9 games, but played in 30 or something, not 9, and the ones she started in he looked almost like a non-Prem player most the time. Impact sub that exploits tired legs is his level it seems.
Mateta cost that amount several years ago now and scored 6 in 30 in his first 2 seasons (1 in 7 in his first). 2 in 29 last season and he pretty much exploded for the last 7 or so games to score 16 this season - he was on 6 or something up until that point. Coincidentally this happened at the same time as hiring a manager who wants to actually attack and score goals, which we also do not have.
Now, in our situation, all our eggs in the Beto and "someone else" basket where both definitely either won't score or won't play is close to insanity. And we're never finding a player like Mateta on the cheap as our scouting is definitely both lacking and "UK only" for some reason - we've needed to up our recruiting for about 15 or so years but never did, or we've gotten pieces that we rarely use to their strengths and wonder "what could've been" when they're better literally anywhere else.
