They seemed very happy to get him out, no other buyers. I dunno, it just smells weird.
Either way, I think you're right, and he has to start the next match. Even think it could help DCL coming on against tired legs and nicking one at some point.
...presumably to hand us an option to Calvert Lewin, but he's just been handed substitute appearances mostly.
The loyalty to Calvert Lewin is admirable in a way, but it should never have got to 20 games without a goal to drop him. IMO Beto is not top class but he's more of a poacher than DCL and we'd have had better results with him starting games...not loads more points, but certainly a handful more.
I love him, but I'd personally sell him in the summer (if not extending his contract ready to sell).
His injuries and the sale of Richarlison has left him badly exposed as someone we cant rely on.
Beto is not great but he's a way better option than Calvert Lewin for the remainder of the season as a starter. If we survive this season then RB and CF are the two positions we need to strengthen in the summer if there's any spending money available after the inevitable sale of Branthwaite.
