2025/26 Beto

[Evermaarton]

If you see him play (well, try to play), it makes you wonder who in his right mind would write a positive scoutreport about him. There is nothing wrong with his mentality but he is just an awful footballplayer. There is absolutely no way a scout wouldn't have noticed his total lack of skill/ball control. :

81 games, 13 goals - a goal every 6.23 games

victor anichebe - 26 goals in 168 games - a goal every 6.46 games

calling him our worst ever striker seems a bit harsh

Victor cost us nothing though.

He`s nowhere near our worst striker.

The problem is that we`ve had so many bad strikers since Lukaku, that they all seem to blend into one.

Anyone who ever watched Brett Angel,wouldn`t be saying that Beto is out worst ever striker.

 

[neil999]

His sprinting still makes me laugh....looks like he's just recently learned how to do this

 

[mahermi1]

Worse than Niasse

Nah Beto has a lot more in his locker..

Only because Beto has a locker mind.

Depending on how people want to view stats he's started only about 30 odd games out of that. His goals per starts arent that bad on paper.
Unfortunately its the green grass that its played on and your eyes when watching him thats the problem. Worst ever striker technique wise? Possibly. Off the top of my head himself and Brett angell had very little control of a ball.

Constantly behind the play, reacting to the play instead of anticipating

Seems to be the norm with Barry as well. His reading of the game is terrible.

Niasse was falling over passes played to his feet, but knew how to score, fair play to him.

Victor cost us nothing though.

And he was just as frustratingly cack as well most of the time so i suppose they have that in common.

Yeah true. There was one moment and Tarkowski got stick for it but he looked up and Beto was in front of the defender, by the time Tarkowski put his head down to play the ball Beto was behind the Sunderland defender who intercepted the pass. Was all the way through the game this.

‘Chebes made over 30 of those games on the wings though when Mr SquarepegRoundhole was bringing him through….

In hindsight, Anichebe should count himself lucky that he didn’t spend a season playing at right back.

 

[welshtoffee]

Would not bother me if we sent Beto out on loan (or even sold him), then attempt to bring another striker in. I am trying to be nice to Beto but he is very erratic to put it mildly !!

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I'll be surprised if he's here after January.
