Beto only really started games after DCL pulled up in the Brighton game, and the first chance Moyes got he put Broja into the team. I`d like to see how Beto would do over a full season starting up front. He can find the net, works really well with Alcarez, stays fit.

Unfortunately don’t think Beto does the No9 role Moyes wants.
Scored a couple of headers from crosses so some parts are in his locker but to me he’s looked far more dangerous with balls played in behind / through the lines to run onto, and that’s not Moyes Plan A.
Don’t think he can hold the ball up the way I think Moyes wants to play.

If he didn't accept it last year, why would he accept it now? Hes obviously got an offer from somewhere and he will quietly exit the backdoor and blame the fans for a bit of his exit i bet, his arl feller hates us. Can't blame him tbh.

I wouldn’t say it’s that obvious at all. It would’ve been announced by now that he’s leaving the club if he’d agreed a deal with someone else. I think it’d maybe be easier to just admit that he’s not really in demand.

Has he been linked with any club anywhere? I think at this stage I'd be offering him a contract on greatly reduced terms.

Dom needs to adapt his game to stand any chance of a good contract, he must stay away from explosive type sprints, in particular the starting and stopping, concentrating more on the timing, cleverness of his runs.

He must not be part of a high press system and play a more aerial dominant box role which is his greatest strength.

Wish him well whatever happens.

I say the following with no animosity whatsoever; I think him and his old agency have had a nightmare and he won’t get the move he expected or wants.

Suspect the best he’ll do now is ~£80k p/w at a West Ham or a newly promoted team. So a pay cut and a lesser club, rather than a European move or a top 6 club in England.

The very notion of loaning out DCL is so absurd. He's the only person who can knock the ball in the net.

He scored 2 in 15 starts last year.
What he offers the side as a central striker is far more than his goals. Or lack of.
I wouldnt think its impossible to find a striker who scores more. Then again this is Everton.

Because he is an excellent footballer. Great touch. Brilliant in the air. Strong, pacey, one of the best in the league for hold up play and while not especially prolific, compared to others we have had in the last few years, he is like the 2nd coming of Gary Lineker. He massively changes our game and our level of threat. Pleeeeease God (I'll be good), just give us an injury free season for DCL.

….i think DCL is playing in 3rd gear, it happens subconsciously with footballers protecting big muscle injuries.

It happened with James McCarthy. Top form before serious hamstring tear and when he came back he was poor. Then he let the handbrake off in a couple of games (Arsenal, Liverpool) where he was outstanding but the muscle popped again.

I have my doubts he’ll return to the high standards he once hit.

All 3 months of it. Disappeared like the xmas decorations the same season that was his high standards season.
He just isnt anywhere near as good as some on this forum...

Its very limited to play with a 'big number 9 up top', id like to see us sign fast tricky players who score goals like Jonathan David.

Never understood why the club seems to focus on target men.



Well thats quite simply not true.




We purchased Beto & Chermiti rather than other players because their clubs accepted no cash down.

Its different to spending €37mil on a centre forward to replace DCL.

I really like DCL but at the same time I also love Everton football club.

If it was me Id be seeing how much we could get for Beto, Maupay and DCL...then use the lot on a new starting...

That tells you where his priorities lie.

He'll do well at Leyton Orient.

Do any of our so called "strikers" fit in with what Moyes wants.
