2024/25 Beto

If you look at things objectively, he has been a 1 in 2 striker which is basically what you ask for. He should actually be on quite a few more which is a result of him creating chances for himself which is a valuable asset. One thing we absolutely cannot do is try to replace him with a mid-level striker. I don't care if you think Beto is the anti-christ or whatever. He will be more effective than them. Go for a star if you go for one at all. If you can't find him, prioritize the other positions. Do not waste unnecessary money.

His goal record is good and he puts in a shift every game. if he could improve his touch and stay on his feet more with the ball he would be super … coaching team need to work on it with him and see if improvement is possible
 
Thought it was a great finish. But key is great delivery from Alcaraz. You wont always get goals from decent delivery. but you'll never get goals from no delivery.
I think we've established now he's no Denis Bergkamp and he'll frustrate you over the course of a season but there's a 15 goals + striker there if you play him right. Its just not easy on the eye.

Moyes pleased with Beto, with more games wonders if he could have hit 14-15 goals.
In retrospect, the lad has done well.
Carried the strikers burden on his own, for large parts of the season , with workhorses behind him and responded by becoming joint top scorer with 9.
Hold up play needs to improve, which you should be able to coach.
However, he does possess what you can't coach: a strikers instinct.
Deserves a squad place, next season

If he nets in the next three games he'll be on double figures for the season,in a poor team that creates so little that's decent going. Well worth a place in the squad.
 

I just don't want to see us waste silly money on an average striker. I rate Beto more than most and am open to him improving, but I can understand some of the complaints. Having said that, replacing him for the sake of replacing him will get us back where we have been for too long. We need to start signing bonfide stars and improvements in these positions. Lateral moves are not the answer. A "ball playing" striker that doesn't score goals is not an improvement.

I’d keep him if he doesn’t mind rotating with a new striker. He’s a bully and uses his body pretty well when the ball is on the ground. I like his desire. He’s like a Denis Stracularsi with a bit more product. Easy to like him.

Me too, but we need the performance culture back at the club, can‘t go on playing underperfoming players

He broke down a lot of our play, again.

We need better. We all know that.

If we can sign at least one wide player who can get to the bye line and deliver a decent cross then his first touch should be an attempt on goal. He's never going to be a target man to hold up the ball or link play.
