2024/25 Beto

[davids]

Odd thing to say, considering he played all but 6 games last season, most of them full 90+ terrorist football (2 were from the cheekbone injury) and was featuring up until recently and playing full 90s. The only big injuries were when he broke his toe(s?) and the current one.

A lot to criticise him for but I don't feel this one is right.

Anyway bizarre shout to sell Beto, who's doing quite well, and start the season with essentially no strikers. To hell with the plan for stability I guess

My comment on DCL's fitness was purely based on this season. Oh and the fact his goal scoring record other than one season is less than average.

Garner was wide open. All he had to do was make a 10 yard pass.

The CBs will split to play the ball out. If the striker can't make simple pass after three touches, he doesn't belong in the PL.

I'm just responding to you. He also had a first touch that went about 25 yards astray this past weekend.

This is comical.

You've just listed three other players there who could have done something but you're only interested in blaming the striker.

This is the only point I'm making about the ridiculousness of blaming our striker for us conceding because he didn't control a ball, again, at the halfway line with the rest of the team between him and our goal.

The striker who scored last week and had us winning the game when he went off btw.

I think we should keep him. You know what you're getting with him and he can certainly chip in with goals. We need better of course but if we sell him, we're not necessarily going to get a backup or even first choice who scores more than him.

Last saw a touch like that in Carlton Palmers day

I've seen Palmer doing the rounds these days chatting like he was a prime steffan effenburg in his day, a weird fella

Nearly scored a cracker against Chelsea with an excellent snapshot

I’m pretty sure we’re allowed to sign other strikers

I'm pretty sure we've got to be more frugal not make stupid losses for the hope of a better player out there, considering we've come from awful financial difficulties.

But yeah, sell all the strikers, buy better ones, it just makes sense.

 

[davids]

He broke down a lot of our play, again.

We need better. We all know that.

But can we afford it?

 

[davids]

a few of them are wingers tbf including Mbeumo
Beto has done well enough imo
Hard to know what Moyes' plan is for him yet

That's true they are wide players but worth noting that they play for teams that spend far more time in the final third than we do. Hope Moyse gives him a chance.

Agreed, it does make sense.

Get him gone, he’s Leeds’ level. Not ours.

[maccavennie]

Knowing us we'll do a straight swap and end up with Jack Harrison.
