Hopefully gives us the wriggle room for more deals. Yep think we'vebeen saying for a while now that the deal structures we need are impacting the players we can pursue and how long it takes to close the deals. Simon Jordan also said in his video that we are also ratifying deals with Prem League, which will also add time. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. We don't have the money for it this year (meaning actual cash) as well as FFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Between Beto, Harrison and Danjuma, it shows that there is a long term (ish) plan in place, as these are all players we've been looking at for 6+ months. Instead of us splashing exorbitant amounts of cash on the flavor of the month Matt Tiger, London Blue, KinL and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) This "stats wheel" or whatever there call gives me a bit of the willies. I fear the boo boys will be right on him after the 12th pass in a row bounces 10 yards off his shine. Assuming these numbers a meaningful, look at those low figures for link up play, passing, ball retention. He might have Dom's physique, but he seems to havea radically different style of play. Top one Dom, bottom one Beto Edited August 28, 2023 by chicagoblue Forgot second graphic London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Good. Don’t want a carbon copy of Dom, we’ve already got a Dom. Having a strong forward with a different set of skills gives us another option. This is the thing we’ve been lacking for years.

If it makes any difference, Goodison park has been a separate company for a long time. The Everton Football Club Company has a bunch of other companies under it, the stadium being one, the team another, then the charity, the training ground.

Shukes Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 I get emails from the Everton stadium team. At the moment they are selling match day experiences. They are holding a 3D demonstration at the Liver building. Everything is branded the same and looks like it’s under the Umbrella of Everton football club.

He looks like he can shield the ball, I’m hoping he can play on the half turn. The one area Lukaku was good is running from deep and this lad looks the same. He drops off and builds up momentum and centre halves hate strikers who will run at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Lots of players go missing in the Premership becasue of the pace and physicallity of the game. This lad is fast, big and strong, so sounds to me like he will enjoy the physicality of the Premiership - so massive box ticked. The lad has had to work very hard to get to where he has got in the game, he not from a footballing background (family wise). Everytime he has moved up a level, he has improved his game and has succeded. He is obviosely a grafter. Based on what I have read I already like his charater. He can obviosely finish, as has a decent strike rate in Seria A. OK, not the premeriship, but a decent enough league. He will suit our team far far more than Maupy and will be a massive upgrade. Once intergrated in to the squad, I think has the attributes to actually challange DCL for the no.1 strikers position. Which we have not had for sometime.

Matt Tiger Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 To me he seems like he'll be frustrating at times but is nonetheless exactly what we need. We're creating chances, and especially with Mcneil / harrison healthy we should be able to build up just fine. We badly need someone who can get a good shot off and finish chances, and to me Beto looks like he's exactly that.

badaids Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Really hoping and rooting for him. Got a good feeling about this one, been so long since we signed a forward who can score, surely it must be this one. Mind you - he’s taken Cenks old number.
