Shouldn't be signing anyone we dont really want. We arent desperate

Beto swap for Artem Dovbyk considered

There's the dream

Think he might be shite

That said I do think Moyes is keen to 'not miss the opportunity' as he put it in his post match, and would relish getting back into European competition in his first full season.

Yup. Maybe Moyes would want something to add to have a good season and get his contract renewed. Otherwise he finishes mid table and they back the next guy.

He definitely is, can barely kick a ball. Dobvyk would be a decent fit though.

14 in 42 at Roma. Not really a significant upgrade on Beto.

He got 24 goals and 10 assists three seasons ago in Spain good numbers for dnipro as well I would consider him an upgrade on Beto

The Beto / Dovbyk swap story did the rounds in the summer, sounds like bollocks to me.

First thing I saw on Artem Dovbyk was him missing 2 penalties in the same EL game. Very small snapshot but with the earlier rumours, it didn't fill me with an abundance of confidence at the time.

Would be a bit concerned with a 28 year old striker who kinda relies on physicality a bit, not that large either (6' 2") and never played in the PL before. I'd probably lean toward sticking with giving Barry minutes.

Hoping it's lazy journalism, but the fact we're seeing the rumour pop up again is a bit fishy.

That said, I'm still stubbornly thinking if we gave Beto the service in behind we were doing when Moyes first arrived he would get goals. So I'd probably not bother with this in general and wait for a better option.

If we finish mid table Moyes is going nowhere.

Which is probably fair.

I like him a lot as a steady hand and as a safe bet. I’m a bit more worried about him as a builder.

We are going nowhere with beto and Barry as our options. Im not convinced they arent the worst selection out of the entire league. I cant think of worse.

We're surely currently exceeding expectations?
