ValBlue
Player Valuation: £25m
We were in an odd position where we desperately needed a striker (or 2) but had a starting striker.Not too sure about Barry starting right away. Beto has been scoring the goals and doesn't deserve to be not starting. So long as he keeps the goals up, I don't see why he'd not start.
I can see Beto starting and it going well, whilst Barry gets plenty of time to acclimatise and grow into his game without the immediate pressure of leading a premier league club. He’ll become a better player long term because of it (I assume that’s the plan)
Beto as option number 1 with a talented youngster who will be gunning for his position whilst getting steadily better and more confident. It’s not a bad prospect. Who knows, Beto may have interest from desperate clubs in January (hopefully not us!!)
