[Albion] Is it right to sell Neal Maupay?

Sell - no.
Replace - probably.
Sad to see him leave - yes.

There's nothing ever wrong with selling a player who isn't in the first team and rarely coming off the bench? And tbf isn't being missed. Also when the fee is very good, in comparison to cost and length of remaining contract. Whether that's Maupay or anyone. So, yes.

Better sell him now than let him go for free next summer, or for peanuts in January.
I love Neal Maupay.
But £15m or so for a presumably want-away reserve player with one year left on the contract (which obviously neither him or the club have any intentions of extending)... its a no brainer.
Wishing him all the best. Not sure Brighton would have been a PL team currently if it wasnt for his contributions in rough times.

It's almost impossible to answer sensibly isn't it? We just don't know the ins and outs of the situation. All I'll say is that I liked him when he was here, it's a shame it hasn't worked out, but we can't keep a player at the club if the situation was beyond repair.

Unconditionally yes. It just feels like the right time for both him and the club. Keeping or selling a player is about a lot more than stats. His race is run here.

Put him in the curry
Wouldn't be inclined to sell our top goalscorer when the alternatives are Welbeck (prone to injury) Undav,(unknown quantity) and Ferguson,( showing promise but total lack of first team experience).
I'm just concerned Undav won't match Maupay's tally if he played every game which he won't whilst Welbeck is fit, it's a nice problem to have if you're bringing in a better replacement but who knows if that's going to pan out.
It's a no from me, I'll miss Maupay and his skill at winding up the opposition on match day was highly enjoyable.

This. Spot on this time Swanny.
My only addition is that I would have been slightly more comfortable if he'd gone to Italy instead of a divisional rival. I can see him scoring for them against us and shithousing the north stand, but with a more strategic hat on I think he's going to improve a rival who were heading down hill.
TBH I'd enjoy it more if he did shitehouse us.
The thought of Maupay jogging back to the centre spot would be a bit too much 'Randle McMurphy' for my liking.
Or Ashley Barnes.

well at the very least if he scored against us, I'd expect him not to celebrate, as was the case when he scored against brentford last season
