Agreed.
This sums him up perfectly.
We had Calvert Lewin for years improving his hold up play.
Enter Carlo Ancelloti and stops him doing it and consentrate on getting in the box.
The results were dramatic.
Beto's hold up play is shocking , thats because he isnt that type of player.
As the stats say his goals per minute are good , so play him where he is good.

Each and every one of those clubs would snap him up on a free without hesitation. The only bottom half centre forwards that have scored more than Beto are Richarlison, DCL, and Mateta, all of whom have only scored 1 or 2 more goals than Beto, and only Richarlison has a better minutes to goal ratio.
Nobody's claiming he's elite, but you're acting like his market value is on the floor, when his stats paint a very different picture.
I didn't say it was on the floor, I just said I don't think he's got any real quality about him. It's completely hypothetical so we'll never know, but it does make you ask the question why not a single one of those level of teams went all out to sign him in the summer. Or January. Maybe thats because his Prem career has mostly been absolutely nothing to write home about; but hey, if some fans want to get giddy because he's managed to bundle in a few goals lately to pad out his stats, have at it.

You're arguing that clubs would turn him down on a free, when his market value is at least 20 million.
With the exception of Tottenham, all of the clubs that you're mentioning are below us in the food chain and would struggle to even attract Beto.
Beto has scored the same amount of league goals as Woltemade, who cost 70 million pound last summer.
Beto is improving all the time - miles better than Barry
Slip him a ball behid the defenders.....can't fault him.Would rather him ......who bleeds blue for the club than the other blert.
Struggle to attract Beto?!?!? Who was even in for him before we threw about £20-25m at Udinese?!?
Woltemade is a young player in a new league who has had a -so far- poor season (the EXACT same thing that fans say about Barry btw).
I dont wanna go round in circles. If you rate Beto, fair enough. It's a game of opinions. I just see a very very bog standard striker who has got the rub of the green lately (often comes with hard work TBF). Let's see how the season ends but I'd happily wager there wont be a queue of teams desperate to snap this guy up in the summer and it wouldn't surprise me one iota if the club vey much try to find buyers because I think Moyes probably knows the difference between quality strikers and a workhorse. Credit to Beto for doing the best he can, but IMO there's no world in which this guy takes EFC to the next level.
He has seen off Barry as a contender to the jersey. He actually cares as much as we do.

He was playing for Udinese, not Rotherham. He signed for Everton, not Chesterfield, for over 20 million quid.
I'm not arguing that he's a player to take Everton to the next level. I'm arguing that he's good enough for where Everton are right now, that he's good enough for pretty much anyone in the bottom half of the PL, and that his market value is at least 20 million pounds minimum. The only bottom half striker that I'd swap him for would be Richarlison, but I would even be wary of doing that due to Richarlison's injury history.
I agree that he's not elite, but I disagree that he's below average in Premier League terms. If we end up selling Beto this summer, there will be plenty of interest and he won't come cheap.
Will be flogged in the summer IMO.

I very much doubt it. The lad guarantees 8-10 goals a season.
Be amazed if he’s here next season mate.

His contract is due to end in 2027, so a decision needs to be made to either give him a new deal or sell him this summer.
I think finding an upgrade will be easier said than done.

I doubt we will take a chance on 2 new strikers, in one window. Time will tell?
