Think we need the Dom sale to keep the lights on.

Even if Beto did bag double figures, which he wouldn't, you'd lose so much by just having him up top that it would negate any impact the goals would bring.

He also didn't score more than 10 in a season in Italy which is a weaker league, so the idea he'd score the same or more in the Premier League is fanciful at best

His shooting is garbage anyway, it's every bit as likely to leave the stadium as it is to hit the net, probably more likely.

He should just quit and become a wrestler as that's the only attribute he has that's ok. Even then he spends so much of his focus grappling with the CB he forgets he actually needs to try and control the ball so it doesn't come to anything or allow us to retain possession.

He looked shite for the under 23s the other day, looked shite against league 2 opposition. The jury isn't even out on this guy, they returned a verdict of being shit and it didn't even take a period of deliberation.

Advocating Beto as our starting striker is just advocating pure suicide.

Would suggest that you use a better choice of words when you are posting.

Don't know how I feel about pilfering Lyon for players... On one hand it helps us out massively and makes sense when it comes to the multi club ownership.

My concern is that it shows Texter is quite happy to disadvantage one of his clubs to advance another, and that's all well and good when you're in the latter category, but not so much if we found ourselves in the former at some point.

I suppose at this moment in time it's advantageous to us so I probably shouldn't complain to much.

Don’t think we have to worry about that unless Eagle Holdings makes a bid for Real Madrid next season

Probably Texter's version of a 200mill cash advance.

I’d say it’s on the manager for not developing his technique really, he has all the physical tools, why hasn’t Dyche improved him, coached him to head properly etc? That’s what any good manager should do
