2025/26 Beto

[Zatara]

Did well for Moyes last season but its night and day at the moment.

You can get away with a striker who does the basics well but isn’t a great goalscorer, and you can get away with a striker who doesn’t do the basics well but is a great goalscorer. You can’t get away with having someone who doesn’t offer either.

 

[MikeH72]

Plays football like his legs have been put on back to front.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Interesting in Moyes presser before the match, he acknowledged that we are playing differently this season and he will have to adapt (paraphrasing)
Basically said he doesn’t have the space to run in behind the way he was last season as we’re carrying the ball more.

So much for playing to the players strengths (however limited they maybe)

 

[tommye]

Will never be a decent top level striker as long as he has a hole in his arse.
File alongside The Straq

 

[Lob]

He's a nice guy but a terrible striker. Pinball bumpers have better ball control than this lad and he is currently just as bad a finisher as Dom was.

Thry way they are playing is more suited the the likes of grealish and skillman.

I wouldnt sacrifice that to cater to beto

Fair point, but surely get a striker to suit the tactics you’re planning on using, especially when it’s quite apparently how limited the main striker is at what his supposed strengths are - never mind expecting him to change his style.

And certainly don’t buy a younger version of the same player as an alternative.

Nothing surprises me when it comes to the mismanagement of this club anymore

Couldn’t trap a bag of cement

….agree, and he’s currently the best we have.

 

[GoldenToffee]

If we tried to sell him we'd genuinely get offers at around the £500k mark.

For reference we paid about £30 million.

 

[Acrobat]

This guy makes Stuart Barlow and Oumar Niasse look like Ronaldo & Messi

 

[GoldenToffee]

We could apparently 'only' afford a £30 million striker.
