I think its a good thing as they would only have been stop gaps and it shows we were unwilling to pay over the odds like we would have done previously. Quite refreshing really...
But you wouldn't get £80 mill for him - playing anywhere else but the PL mate - which is why he's £27 mill to get out of Spain.
That's the game really, you are buying years of service and hope his registration increases in value.
Rom is a great...
I’m happy with this one. Whoever starts out of Barry and Beto will give the defenders a hard time. 60-70 minutes in we now have a fresh powerful forward to replace the other with.
Think Beto will start as the recognised starter and he deserves to as well. Watched the extended highlights of the win at Newcastle again the other day and while he didn’t score, he was absolutely superb. He’s proven he can slot as well, double...
Lukaku struggled holding the ball up, Beto struggles holding the ball up. Strengths were turning and running onto a good through ball and actually scoring. Maybe we should concentrate more on moving the ball up the pitch collectively rather than...
In Beto we have the certainty of low double figures. We cannot sell him and just hope Woltemade or other from abroad will hit the ground running. Beto is a good safe bet for the time being. Woltemade seems more of a player that plays behind a striker
In the last 3 seasons. Its easy to check the stats. He's started 60 games and scored 10 goals from open play. And 2 pens.
Breakdown of goals.
2 in 2023
5 in 2024
3 in 2025.
Its not good enough for the club.
But this has now run its course...
Very positive; must be sold on the project we're selling which can only be good.
Dont like feeling positive; because it normally ends in tears, but no clowns leading the way now.
An excellent point.
I'll be honest - I expected us to keep him. Maybe I have more faith in these guys. Their Roma experience - which wasn't perfect but is indicative of their ambition - tells me they are serious owners with ambition and vision...
