Newty82 Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Had a wee look up of Beto. Looks a big strong oak. Defenders bounce off him. Looks like he likes to run with the ball at pace and direct too. Not afraid to put himself about and get physical. Seems like a real good signing...could it be?!!

He was a youngster on a free (even if he looked 40) who'd played at a low level. This guys played a couple of decent seasons in a very defense-orientated league and for a decent side. I wouldn’t call Barcelona a low level! We signed him (for just over £5m - release clause) on the back of a breakout season for Malaga (?) in La Liga - think it was a relegation clause. Back to Beto - was playing at a much lower level and working at KFC 4 years ago supposedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the low level Matt would have been talking about would have been Malaga. Matt and KinL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Liga isn’t low level whoever you’re playing for - Malaga were a La Liga team when we signed him (well just relegated I think) and he was one of the top scorers in that season.

RuffRob Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Like all signings we just need a bit of luck with him. It sounds like he has all the physical attributed of a decent striker, strength, pace and can finish. From what I have read he appear to be of good character and has had to work hard to get to the position he is in after being let go by Benfica at a young age.

chicagoblue Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Drunk at 12:30, I'm feeling like he's going to be some oddball combination of Lukaku and Niasse. He'll bowl a few defenders over and bumble a few goals in off his ass. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Formby Posted August 27, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Haven't felt this excited about a forward signing since Lukaku! A proper CF at last! Right age, right height, right build. If we get him the service (McNeil and Harrison, please), he will score the goals. Genuinely think this is the turning of the tide.
