I've just heard beto is leaving, one of my mates apparently gets inside info. Anyone heard anything.
24 May 2025 11:46:23
The Delap plus x1 factor, according to everton. news . makes his future at EFC very doubtful, and there is more than one potential buyer as well it seems (Besiktas and Leeds I think) .
Other than that, if he gets the 'armband' against Newcastle I would bet on it lol.
24 May 2025 12:06:19
I'd keep Beto, better fitness than DCL, on less money, and his attitude is an example to others. Moyes will improve him with a pre season.
24 May 2025 12:13:11
Not for me we need better if we want to progress.
24 May 2025 12:26:02
Thats why we'd be targeting Delap, I'm not suggesting we have, Beto with no competition, he should be there to provide competition for whoever comes in.
24 May 2025 12:28:17
GB, who do you suggest as an obtainable better option?
Have you ever just sat at the match and watched Beto, some of his movement and the runs he makes really do go unnoticed, especially by his team mates unfortunately.
24 May 2025 12:45:15
And next year we can all moan about how delap is a waste of money I'd keep beto what has delap done to be valued at silly money Ipswich paid less than 10 for him he failed to keep them up.
24 May 2025 13:16:14
I watch the match every week mate and I don’t think Beto is our answer, he’s so inconsistent over the bar outside the post straight at the goalie off side etc etc, it’s just my opinion but we have to improve that position the days of DCL, Broja, Beto are over time for big improvements to our forward line, we only win matches if we score.
24 May 2025 13:28:34
Does Delap fit our style?
Moyes tends to like strong number 9 types.
24 May 2025 15:44:04
Good rumour that one Skylark mate.
24 May 2025 16:18:47
It's a squad game GB, nobody suggesting Beto is polished enough to be the main man all the time, but he's definitely worth a a place as the back up, he started late in professional football, his attitude in combination with Moyes coming in has brought him on loads, he deserves another season to see if an improvement further.
24 May 2025 16:51:00
Game of opinions mate we disagree and that’s good we can’t all want the same.
24 May 2025 17:01:58
Beto knows anyone coming in as a striker is competition. I don't see him spitting his dummy out and asking to leave. I think he would welcome the challenge.
24 May 2025 22:57:04
My view to Dentie, the lad hasn’t shirked a challenge yet.
25 May 2025 10:47:45
Still waiting for Guernsey to give us an obtainable alternative to Beto.
25 May 2025 12:51:50
Been waiting for months GD. Far bigger areas of concern for the here and now.
25 May 2025 14:48:52
100% agree Mocker - we currrtntl haven’t got a starting rightback.
It’s great to get excited about signings and improving the squad but some players some of our fans think we can get is laughable.
Also find it funny when they say there’s better available they don’t say who or if they do it’s some player that’s doing well abroad or in championship and no guarantee they’ll be able to bring that to the premier league.
Whilst we’ve got a new stadium and new owners we’re still not a massive draw for players as no European football, won’t be offering the highest wages and also up North - 3 factors which will put quite a few players off joining us.
25 May 2025 18:22:24
Some fans get the hump if the other fans don't shout hallelujah every time they express an opinion, and that really is laughable.
25 May 2025 18:58:06
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if it doesn't agree with your own, gd. Why do those who don't like a certain player (beto) have to offer you an alternative? The club is responsible for finding players not the fans.
I didn't see the first 50 mins of the game today as I was in work. I did see beto with two opportunities, the second of which was a terrible effort. He's got to make the keeper save it in the very least. The first was as comical as it was ridiculous and underpins why he should be sold this summer. He collected the ball and ran towards goal, soon as he got near the box I'm not sure if he was passing it to nobody or it was a shot but it was very weak and just showed his lack of football intelligence. The ball trickled towards the line! He's not good enough for us despite whatever stats you spout at us, as an all round forward he isn't very good at all.
25 May 2025 21:05:56
Spot on BP every one entitled to their own opinion.
Would just be interesting to see who those fans that don’t want Beto think we can realistically replace him with - haven’t seen any sensible one mentioned yet.
26 May 2025 04:02:36
If that's what you honestly believe, gd, then why are you mocking people in these threads? Again, people are allowed to voice their dislike of a player in here without having to answer to anyone. We don't have to provide anyone with options of who should replace them, that's the job of the recruitment team. In my opinion, and without naming anyone, there are plenty of players that could replace Beto because he is simply not good enough. Nice bloke, works hard, he loves being at the club but that isn't enough.
26 May 2025 11:11:59
BP - I’m not mocking anyone.
If you think asking someone for a viable alternative to a player they want to get rid of is mocking then I can’t help you there.
If you think pointing out that some players fans want us to sign are unrealistic is mocking - I can’t help you there.
I like yourself are voicing an opinion - we’re never going to agree on Beto and that’s fair enough.
There’s no mocking going on, but if you see it that way that’s again your opinion and you’re welcome to it.
