No. I think he's done.

Victim blaming that lad

I don’t understand what you mean. There are two parties in a negotiation, if we allow ourselves to have this piss taken out of us, that is completely on us. I do not blame other clubs, I blame ourselves for being weak. If you want to feel like a victim, and it’s always others fault, feel free.

Was also my first thought.

 

[Librarian]

Beto has some great attributes
Big, strong, fast, can finish
& ruffles defenders
Seems like a determined character

Udinese have just loaned a striker from Juve

 

[Victus]

These lads move fast.

 

[tnc85]

All depend on the obligation to buy fee...anything over 20 millions and it is a gamble.

Amazing news if true

Was hoping for a bit of growth or development from Dyche though. A flat 4-4-2 doesn't really cut it in the modern game and the signing of Beto means that's what we'll be playing. We'll just end up a slightly better Burnley if we're not careful.

None of Beto, DCL or Chermiti are super effective at travelling with the ball (that's not to say they have no pace though) so it will mean just pumping the ball into them. A player like Ekitike or even Daka would give us more counter-attacking opportunities too.

You'd take £40mil or so profit (after paying off all the fees owed to Lille + their 20% clause) and use that on 2 × £20mil players as replacements?

The amount we had budgeted to pay off Lille over the rest of his contract may also open up.

£80m+ would provide enough balance sheet to square off Lille (unless there is a ‘pay total balance outstanding upon sale of asset’ clause - unlikely). And enough profit/income to sanction the purchase of at least 2 high ceiling assets, one directly to replace Onana… the other wherever.

Plus we can play whataboutisms the other way - what if Onana doesn’t progress? What if he gets injured? Makes more sense to spread risk and also increase profit potentials %age wise

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Pete Orouke saying we’ve agreed a fee for Beto.

He used to be sourced for lower leagues, but ever since he’s tried to get in the PL action he’s a bit meh.

He’s gone in pretty hard with advanced negotiations and deal nearly done so this will be a good one to judge him on. Think he’s got stuff right in the past but sceptical of him.

 

[lurky]

Yep, Premier League has tougher games than Serie A and we're not a middling team, I've never seen the guy play though, no idea if he's just another Rondon or not.

Historically strikers score less in Serie A than in the PL

Beto is actually a very good dribbler

Not at this stage, with the season started. Onana is a key player that we can't lose at this point. Whoever we replace him with would need to be able to go straight into the first team and we would be negotiating in a desperate situation with the other club knowing full well we've just had a windfall, so will overcharge for their player.

Need to stay strong on this one imo.

Not sure about the flat 442. He’s unlikely to play two outright strikers so variety is not so important, you want consistency in the main 9’s role even if the name changes.

Who plays off the striker is the next important thing. I suspect Gnonto playing off the target man would be in the thinking.

It finishes return to the Premier League. So just been stopped before that to say he wants an Everton return. I think is we were a top have with European football we might of had a chance at a loan, but not now.
