2025/26 Beto

I mean he scored 8 in half a season of starting. I suspect he can top that and reach 13 if he starts each week.

13 goals would be level with our former strikers second best ever output.

When was the last time we had a striker score 13 Percy?

Which former striker is that mate? As most of them don't get to 5, outside of DCL whos best season was 16.

Other than that I agree with a lot of what you say on Beto. He's not only a good goalscorer, but he makes it quite easy to make chances for him. He does it often it quite a messy, clumsy way, but that shouldn't be our concern.

He's very fast, quite strong and 6 ft 4. He has good striking instincts for such a big guy.

If he plays most games, I think he gets 15 goals, which would be very welcomed and good, and basically miles better than anyone not Richarlison or DCL over the last decade.

DCL is better than Beto and DCL wasn’t good enough for Everton, so start there. I’m not a scout. Forest signed Chris Wood from Burnley, now despite your nonsense, he’s not a £70m striker, but he’s clearly better than Beto as well.

As said, I’d love Beto to tuck 20 goals this season, but we all know he will do well to get half that, in the meantime I worry about the damage he will do to our results given his atrocious hold up play and given he will be our main solo striker until Jan at least.

I’m putting myself in a position of no win here, if he stinks the place out vs Villa and we lose then I won’t take any joy in that, but I’m sure I’ll be tagged if we win and he plays a pivotal role. Let’s see how this plays out as there’s nothing that can be done now.

How much are 1 in 2 strikers worth, baring in mind the prices of strikers in today's market?

Once again, if Beto isn't good enough for Everton, what is good enough? This isn't a tough question.

As I just said I’m not a scout, I wouldn’t have had the skill set to scout Wood, Mbeuno, Wissa and the likes.

All I’m saying is Beto isn’t good enough for Everton, you’re saying he is. Let’s see….

Jesus Christ Percy just answer the question, what is your expectation for Everton currently?

 

[Blue83]

Like DCL? Or did he not play under Dyche? One thing is for sure, Beto isn’t capable of putting the performance that DCL did in Dyche’ first game against Arsenal. That’s an absolute fact. DCL didn’t even score that day, but his performance was incredible.

You mean THIS DCL ?

Really beating Beto's 12 goals there in 2 seasons, 7+3 = 10 that's better than 12 because it's closer to #1

I think I’ve answered that. If we can pay Grealish £250k per week we can get a better striker than Beto. I’m not a scout, I barely watch Everton, never mind European football. If you think Beto is the best stinker we can get then that’s on you, maybe you know more than me, you probably do.

Let’s see how many he scores as our main man under Moyes. Time will tell.

Grealish has nothing to do with our striking options though? How about take a look at how expensive every striking option has been and how they've all gone to top 6 clubs. Even Delap chose to sit on a bench. And no you still haven’t answered it.

That’s clearly not the DCL I referenced and I also said it was proven DCL wasn’t good enough.

The irony is the imagery you showed has shown that DCL scored 10 in 58 whilst defending Beto who has scored 12 in 63 as though that’s some sort of definitive proof of something, despite me saying neither are good enough

Answered what? The fact Moyes was so desperate for Delap means nothing to you?

Brick walls would offer more answers. I'm tapping out, God Speed with this one Jake.

Cool. See you in May when Beto has 8 league goals (at best)

Did not score many other days either. Not blaming him to be fair, we have played mostly negative football for absolutely years and his job was exhausting for little reward. Even back when we had Dunc he spent most of his time trying to rescue turgid tactics. Not really blaming the managers either because they mostly had no money (Moyes would easily have got a trophy with an extra few quid) or under Moshiri early on, had it spent for them on rubbish.

The blame lies at the top and our club has been a shambles since John Moores, we just got very lucky in the mid-eighties. At least we appear to now be owned by professionals, here is hoping.

Agree. Looks like we have our best owners in decades.

23/24

24/25
Beto's minutes played 2,469

vs

DCL

23/24

24/25

total 3,799 minutes

So in less time played Beto scored 1 more goal, but okay keep telling us how DCL was better, seeing as you struggle with facts and numbers, Beto played 35% less than DCL and scored more under one of the worst managers in our history
