1: We didn’t need to sign a starting striker from a top league with a 1 in 3 goal record.

2: Laughable that you are suggesting we couldn’t have done better

I’ll rephrase. Try understanding the post you are responding to.

I get that I kind of like him despite him not being that good my point is we scouted him that long and never thought maybe he would not fit the way we play. Yes there is a financial reason but regardless of down payments there are strikers in world football that cost less and would have been more suited.

Rest of the team is set up better, we can win games with Beto upfront and him scoring goals. DCL will be a struggle, he just doesn't take his chances.
Plus, Beto's issues can be improved through coaching - not to make him great, but better. DCL's can't. Whether or not we have a manager who is interested in taking the time with Beto is another matter.

That loss was more due to them having about 5 wingers with pure pace, no longer worrying about N'Diaye, and Tim/Seamus blowing out their arses, whikst Mykolenko decided he would aimlessly storm up the pitch.
maybe Dyche pretended he was interested in evolving? I’ve no idea. I honestly don’t think there would have been many target men who could slot in world football who were available for no money for 12 months. With hindsight and the way Dyche was clearly only ever going to set his teams up, a target man who didn’t score goals would have been preferable… now Dyche has gone though that fabled target man who didn’t score would be just as much of a problem as Beto!

I pretty much whipped off the predators head in double quick time.
Youre not even giving me a souvenier.
Not sure what can be more clear about my responses which gut your points.
Begs the question
Why spend 25 mil on a player whose obvious (only ) strength is running on to balls in the channels then ask him to be a target man and play with your back to goal.
His stats were very good at Udinese and I thought he would do well for us if we played to his strengths rather than think he's another Calvert Lewin.
It's pretty bad recruitment tbh. The lad has never had a run in the team of any note yet Dom can go 15/16 games and never looks like scoring or assisting .
No one will convince me if you give Beto that sort of run he wouldn't have at the very least a few goals & assists.

If you say so mate. You think signing Beto for £25 million was a sensible bit of business. You have a weird hard on for Thelwell when he hasnt achieved anything.
I think we are done here.

You're putting words in my mouth.
Ive never said it was "sensible".
What i have said is that:
A: Thelwell didnt sign Maupay
B: All sorts of caveats around Beto
C: 8 other players signed seem good value
Really bizarre to me why some dont rate him based on his overall signings and value.
Bedford was a better player., Very hot and cold but better.

A few more million and that gets you a sigurdson
One month of his wages would transform my life … never mind 9 years
2m quid would put me mortgage free and allow me to buy a couple of investment properties
