Convict Colony

Quite excited by the Beto link as well - not just the highlights this proper scouting report seems to rate him a lot as well and sounds like the sort of forward we need. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EP1EMLywdjf3ljfFgvAOoQboR_NCfqOO/view Born on January 31, 1998 in Lisbon, Portugal, Norberto Bercique Gomes Betuncal, better known as Beto, is a young and talented Portuguese striker originally from Guinea-Bissau. Beto arrived in black and white after a season as a protagonist in the team of Portimonense in Liga NOS, scoring 11 times and providing 3 assists in 30 league games. This year he started very strong, scoring two goals in his first three outings of the season in Portugal before moving to Italy,where now with the Udinese shirt in the first 10 appearances he has scored 4 goal. Beto is a modern striker who despite his 194cm and with a great physical setting, he is a player who has the gift of speed, then sudden snap in the goal area and the ability to attack the goal. The Lusitanian class of 98 thanks to this important physicality manages to make a great job when he plays with his back to goal, he's a footballer I'm used to contact play and that feels comfortable with him when he meets strong defenders physically. Beto plays the role of point of reference for Udinese, where often, with his back to goal, he tries to play on the side with his teammates keeping the defender behind him, even if he then lacks in technical quality of the pass (definitely to be improved) when he loses or makes a mistake, he has always an immediate reaction when running and trying to recover the ball lost. Beto has all the features and skills to be able to play as a tower, in fact, very often when he receives a high ball, he not only manages to spit the ball ball towards his teammates on the wings, but with his speed he is able to be ready in the penalty area to conclude the action. The air game it's one of his specialties, already scoring 2 out of 4 headers marked so far. The strong physical structure of him allows him to protect the ball very well and make space between the defenders, where he is good at jumping the man even with the dribbling, in fact, is a player who, if required, can also play from offensive right winger thanks to his good ball-and-chain skills and speed. In movements without the ball, especially with the ball uncovered, the young player attacker likes to play on the opponent's defense line and then attack the depth, where he often comes across to bring the defender and then exploit the speed of him to attack space. Very good at getting away with a circular movement, in fact he often looks at the central defense, so as to have a reference so as not to remain offside. Beto is a gamer kidnapped despite the physical tonnage, able to turn the body when it is of shoulders to the goal, to receive the high ball in order to immediately kick in brings. Beto has so far shown that he has already adapted well to the change of championship, having all the cards in order to have an excellent season. In this start of the season, in fact, Beto has already become a point of reference for Gotti's team, and it will be very interesting to follow the player in this first experience in Serie A with the Udinese shirt.

This is what i want, pure and utter argentinian understated shit housery. I endorse this signing plus he looks like he is actually not a smurf.

Come on bro this isnt your first rodeo, ours is a life of disappointment with flashes of hope.

Wolves bidding 5.5m for Lemina from Nice

To be fair they know the football wont be entertaining so they've added something else for us to enjoy

I just want us to be good, just for a bit, not ever but 6months would not be too much to ask. I am sick of us hoping something works, we might sign a player before end of jan, we might fluke a win, an attacking midfielder might work out they have to attack the oppositions goal instead of ours. Probability says we cant be this shit for so long but it seems its the only metric we can outperform.

When I comes off we are clever, when it doesn't we are buffoons, such is life. For a club or our size to punch above our weight we have to be clever, the issue was though that Ramos at Benfica made it through CL qualifying and decided to stay just before deadline and Benfica didn't need to sell. Let's be honest Benfica qualified in the same group as PSG and Juventus, I don't think we can blame the club for thinking those 2 would get through and Ramos would be free to join after. If I was to blame anyone it would be Juventus for being shit.

Yeah fair play you were banging the drum for him given he wanted out of Belgium asap, I suppose if the club thought they were getting Ramos and potentially Gakpo they thought they had a big upgrade on him and had Mara as their development project.

Just got off the blower with ings and this was his reply.

Hopefully the light show is our first XI being armed with lightsabers and killing the entire forrest squad.

might be trying to not get injured ?

You do realise villa actually have good players and expensive playerswho were under performing with gerrard. Emery cost a decent wedge to get in, jones did not cost this 4mil i see posted according to the luton fans its more like 1.5m.

I find this one funny as everyone complained about ralph having only Plan A so now we are having a go at the guy for trying to find a system that works and helps us win a game.

The MIGS are going to love that, they already call Jones a snake in a friendly sort of way.

I'm gonna say Che, he tries to lead by example and also has a go at people.

I think i remember seeing moffi as being on about 20k a week at lorient - if we triple that he'd be here quick smart

AN ACTUAL RUMOUR

New year new opportunity. I expect the players have decided this year we will be a mix of barcelona, real madrid and PSG and go on a run for the ages and we qualify for Champs league. We easily stroll past forest and their 800 players, i expect a goal fest for us and can only see this ending 7-0. Goalscorers: Che 3 Edozie 2 JWP 1 Lavia 1

I assumed this was a parody account but if its real welcome to being a saints fan Rasmus.

Give them a relegation clause for a set fee and i bet we could get a decent one.

It's over, unless we can get a striker who scores we are fucked

Next game I want 1 goalie and 10 defenders next game, we should at least not concede and won't hurt out goals for stat

Could be worse, we will be undefeated for the year in 6.5hrs
