Well he's not getting a chance. He looks sharp when he comes on but who's going to be happy with 2 or 3 minutes a game every week?

Now saying Godfrey is also leaving.

Let’s be honest, his goal record isn’t great wherever he’s been and he’s nowhere near as good as DCL so if we get the money back on him I say sell. We only need a cheap and decent backup Beto at his price needed to be a starter and he isn’t upto it so unless we sell DCL unfortunately we can’t afford to have a £30m striker on the bench!

Who’s the cheap and decent back up?

DCL goal scoring record isn't that good either.

Previous posted concerns about Beto and from what I’ve seen he will never cut it in the premiership.
Very little pace, not very good in the air and poor ball control skills.
If we can shift him in January it will save us having to fork out the transfer fee the end of next year because the guy is worse than Tosan.

{Ed025's Note - a bit harsh that Fancy imo, he was poor today i agree but he has not had a run in the side yet and it seems a pit premature to write him off just yet mate..

11.) 02 Dec 2023

Ed, if a player has anything about him it is obvious in his balance and movement, I haven’t seen anything that would suggest Beto could be a force in the EPL.
Chermiti, although raw, shows signs of developing into a player and for me should have been introduced earlier today.
Also, why Sean continues to select Young against wingers with pace and ball skill is beyond me.

{Ed025's Note - i agree on Young Fancy and cant believe he is a regular starter myself, but im giving Beto the benefit of the doubt at the minute mate, we might just need him more than we think..

12.) 02 Dec 2023

Let's not forget Dom's injury record before we go someone cheap and cheerful. Beto has not been given a chance. The prem is a hard place to come, very very few hit the ground running.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Chris..

He has been managed very poorly imo. When he first came, albeit against Doncaster, he changed that game for us and showed a great finish. He was unlucky not to score against Sheffield and caused them bother the whole time he was on the game. He had a great assist when he came on against Burnley for Young's goal.

To say he has no pace and is crap in the air is just b*ll*cks. Even if he hasn't had the chance to prove it concretely for Everton yet, go and watch him for Udinese where he actually got a decent run in the side for a season.

It is hard luck for him that DCL has been fit for a run of games for the first time in years, in which time DCL has performed poorly himself.

Comparing the lad to Tosun is even more b*ll*cks. He has had the end of matches to come on and try and build some confidence. Yes the lad snatched at some chances today but that is because he is so desperate to make an impact for us. Had he been given some backing since he has been here, things would likely be a lot different.

As JB said, who is this mythical cheap backup . Maupay?

14.) 03 Dec 2023

The backup can be anyone. Sheff utd signed Cameron archer for half the price who has scored 3 prem goals and has bags of potential. We will see how he turns out but I’m with fancy the last is pants and his scoring record at udinese proves it. Typical of our scouts to think £30m on 10 goals in a season in one of the slowest leagues in Europe makes him a good fit for the prem!

15.) 03 Dec 2023

Sorry but backup can’t be anyone. It has to be someone who is going to push to compete for the place. Not just be there as a fill in.

16.) 03 Dec 2023

Agree worburn. Can't just buy bench warmers or back ups. Need players who push for places, not to sit on bench til 89th minutes. Will never push forward as a club doing that.

{Ed025's Note - the thing is guys that better players cost more and want assurances about game time, its a very delicate balance and we may have to go fishing in the lower leagues to get hungry up and coming players on our budget..

17.) 03 Dec 2023
03 Dec 2023 21:04:23
Do you envisage a lot of sales again to balance the books Ed25?

{Ed025's Note - not necessarily BR, i think there is a chance one of our better players may have to be sacrificed and that could mean either DCL or Onana i think, the main issue will be bringing players in and im thinking we will be looking in the loan market in January, and that could even be the case in the summer actually..

I think the lad just needs a goal to build his confidence, you saw what his assist meant to him. The good thing is he’s getting in the positions to score, albeit he’s missing them currently, at least he’s getting in those positions and suits our style, the team plays better with him than a Maupay. A goal and some confidence hopefully he’ll become more clinical. I’d give him at least until the end of the season.

Dyche seems to favour a settled first 11, and we can see some benefits of that. No doubt there’ll have to be more rotation in December. Surprised we’ve seen so little of Danjuma. Can we loan more players in January?

It would be suicidal to let DCL go, ed25. I'd rather it was Onana out of the two, providing we don't get our pants pulled down over any deal.
Regarding Beto, I think we have found another dud. Might be a tad harsh but I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest he can cut it in the prem. Granted, he hasn't been given much of a go but his touch, heading and shooting haven't inspired confidence. I hope he turns it around but I think time is ticking for him already. Reminds be of the Strac with slightly less ability.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think anyone wants DCL or any of our top players to go bp, but the fact is books have to be balanced because we dont want any more penalties for finance breaches mate, now i dont know how the sums are adding up at the moment but with our recent history we have to be very careful, there is also the scenario where the players themselves may want to leave of course?, in the end they are just transient employees and transfers happen all the time, i agree though that if Dom, Jarrad, Jordan or Amadou were to leave it would be a massive blow..

21.) 05 Dec 2023
05 Dec 2023 13:31:17
That's understandable ed25 if we really need to get rid of a player to balance the books. I just think Onana is the one we wouldn't miss too much out of those you mentioned. We've done OK without him the last month or so and he has so. e resale value. With DCL, even if he doesn't score he occupies defenders and makes space for others. We need him more than onana I reckon mate. Hopefully we're not forced to sell anyone unless it's through choice.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely bp, my biggest worry would be Jarrad mate, he is forging a great reputation for himself and i know a lot of the big boys are interested in him, he has just signed a new 4 year deal but is that to keep him or to maximize his sell on value?, i really hope we dont sell any of our better players of course but in the end money talks..

I think lots of foreign players need at least a season in the Premier league to settle down, new surroundings new home etc. They just need to find their feet etc I think Beto will come good. I think we'll not see the best of him this season though.

23.) 07 Dec 2023
07 Dec 2023 12:49:43
Agree, ed025, I'd like to keep him for another few seasons but I suppose it all depends on our finances. It's going to be an interesting window when it opens mate.
TT, I hope you're right mate and he will come good but he isn't inspiring me with confidence whenever he plays. Maybe a goal will start the ball rolling for him? At the moment, he just reminds me of Strac and Niasse, nice fellas who work hard but just aren't at the required level. I hope I'm wrong.

Let’s hope that goal kick starts a fine run for him.

Definitely, BR23. Really hope he kicks on from here.
