Be honest. Do you really want to see Beto starting for Everton for the first game of the season I know I don't. I also don't want Chermiti to start but I'd much prefer he was the second striker in the team over Beto.

Its an improvement on who started up front for us first game of last season.
Just about.

Most of the prem starting world class strikers? Are you alright?

You can't have been watching closely then. The kid has an absolutely lovely touch, nice close control, a bit of vision and a bit of pace. He looks like a much higher class player than Beto.
Beto only started 10 games in all competitions last season with the rest being as a sub. Not exactly a full on season for him. He scored 5 goals. Not saying he is our answer but he now knows what the PL is all about. Like you say Chermiti has proved nothing yet. Hopefully he proves something next season being used as a sub to see where he is at.

That wasn't your question. Your question was is he better than Beto (a pretty low bar) and in those moments of skills he has suggested that he may well be.

We have already highlighted several pieces of play that Beto is simply incapable of.
So a couple of nice touches in a season shows he may be better than Beto. I have actually seen Maupay have some nice touches in a game but wouldn't want him playing. Most players in a match usually have a few nice touches

Not make or break but I just think from a development point of view would be so much better playing every week especially in the early years from youth football to first team transitioning. I’d of rather of kept Maupay as the back up while Chermiti goes out and learns his trade in a competitive environment rather than sit on the bench and get limited minutes.

I think its obvious that Chermiti has more to him than Beto. As posters have said, his touches look exciting and effective while Beto's look comparable to a Michael Keane backpass
However, Beto of course was used incorrectly. Hes not DCL and needs the ball ahead of him.
Im a big fan of going for young players but I wouldnt expect Chermiti to be starting for us until he shows more.
I'd certainly have him as 2nd choice.
Think it will have done him the world of good to not go on loan. His improvement looked dramatic and by the end of the season he was being used ahead of Beto.
Number 2 will depend on his preseason i think. If he can achieve that then its a big sign the management rate him highly.
If not then yeah he needs a loan.
I think its more of a case that (including me) posters were watching him intently seeing if there was anything about him.
I saw the Sporting videos on him and he certainly opened my eyes with touches, vision and a desire to get into the right attacking positions...and track back.
Id have him as 2nd choice and hope Thelwell sells Maupay, Beto & DCL for a combined £50mil. Then uses it to go after a top cenre forward to get the goals to take us up the table.
No sure what others people have been watching
Chermo's development has been dramatic last season
He's a nightmare to play against as he's strong and quick and has a good touch
Only thing he's missing now is goals

Obviously that's the kiss of death to Chermo for some people purely as "Damo rates him"
But neither Chermo or myself care
There's a player there. I know it. Reminds me of Steven Naismith

He can put one foot in front of the other with minimal thought or effort.
….my fear is you’re saying that this time next year.
