2024/25 Beto

[Kurt.]

Just heard Barca are putting together a £150 million bid for him in the summer…. Swear down… no lies fam

Pete, Birkenhead: Morning, Phil. Last week you said you were not convinced Beto was a £30m striker. Care to revise that opinion?

Phil: I knew this one would be coming. All I will say is that up until two weeks ago I’m not sure even Beto’s biggest admirers would say he looked like a £30m striker. And now we come to Beto under David Moyes. Moyes has got him playing to his strengths, running into channels rather than with his back to the goal, and the fact Everton are actually playing forward and quickly has also been to his benefit. He has looked composed and a real focal point, a handful. One thing you could never accuse Beto of was a lack of effort, so it is great to see his endeavour rewarded. If he continues this form consistently, then I will be very happy to revise my opinion. He has been excellent in the last few weeks.

He was a £26.5m striker

That finish still astounds me. He waits took long. He lets the keeper come and the defender get too close. Then he just calmly puts the ball in the only ball sized gap that exists.
I'll do that stuff indoor because if it doesn't work I get another chance a minute or so later and if it does I walk away like a Don. Beto has a set of cojones, for sure.

They're not allowed to give a yellow after a VAR review. Only red cards.

It was that bad a dive he should have been given a red for it the cheating little tit.

Mad that. They can rescind a yellow after a VAR check though, so no logic in not being able to give one.

He was 25m.

 

[jceverton]

He was 25m.

He was 25m and no money down till the next season!

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I would turn down that money for Beto. He’s what we’ve needed. If he’s valued that high, then we’ll only have to turn around and spend the same. And even then we have to hope we chose wisely. No more selling our talent to the big clubs. I want us to be the big club. Eventually we can make transactions like that. But don’t give it away before we’ve even gotten there.

I don't understand how someone who can barely put one foot in front of the other anywhere else on the pitch, becomes peak Lewansowski in the box.

I'm along for the ride, however.

Be interested to see how long this lasts. Moyes mk1 did have a few strikers come in and score loads early and then tail off. Jelavic, Bilyaletdinov, Beckford, etc.

Enough of this.

He is our best striker.

Beckford actually probably not an unfair comparison tbh
