We have Undav and I have given up worrying and thinking that I know more than the powers that be at the Albion regarding players
I did it for decades
Me too. I slated Potter for a couple of years after Chris Hughton was sacked, thinking he didn't know what he was doing.
He proved me wrong, l admit it.

They would!!
You can see why some Everton fans will be less than enthused at this signing.
Picking up a striker who can't get a game for a #TeamLikeBrighton won't feel like any kind of statement of intent for them, but it could be a good move all round.
Maupay will feel he has something to prove having been eased out of the Albion, and he's sure to relish being given the opportunity at a "big club". His attitude and work ethic will endear him to the Goodison faithful and if he can chip in with a few goals too - complete with shithousery celebrations - they'll be loving his work.

Possibly, but it leaves us Welbeck, Trossard, Undav and Ferguson as options when we play one up top, so I would say it will only be if we find the right player at the right price. Let's not be signing the next DJ Strollabout just because some of our fans are itchy on social media.

When Maupay plays for Everton v Palarse, hopefully he'll still continue to endear himself to the Croydon acne brigade

would much rather he got injured now than against leicester, four days after the club have said 'we're happy with our options'

According to SSN, he's at Everton, being rushed through a medical ready to face Brentford.

Not seen such Bravery!
No need to be so glum and prepared in advance.
It is surely a 50/50 that we bring in a replacement not a 0% chance.
From there it is another 50/50 whether NSC gives the choice of player a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
Don't they boo their team off most weeks?!

Got to be an upgrade on Rondon though !

this debate has already been and on another thread, but personally I highly doubt that TB, as a fan of the club, is merely interested in reducing the age profile of the team in order to get more money for players, that's a rather cynical view of how we operate.
TB's plan for the club is a perhaps non-linear line of progression, but I highly doubt at any point there he's decided to stop signing players that are better than what we have. the club will have picked kouame out because there's certain statistical attributes that mean he'd be a good fit for the team, I'd imagine, not just because he's a younger similar version of maupay (and having seen them both play they're nothing alike)

People have done this since the game was invented and as I grow older I too can't fathom why. Why the hell did they recruit all these highly regarded scouts and coaches when they could have just hired a load of local welders/chip shop owners/taxi drivers etc instead?
If that's the criteria it would explain why Frank gave be a call, this morning.
Ghosted him.
Unaware of this guy but the video of his 2021/22 goals is outstanding. Big yes please from me.

I'll be very sorry to see Neal go, I've always enjoyed his contributions, both on and off the pitch. But can understand his desire to try and prove himself elsewhere, given lack of recent game time at Brighton.
I think he will probably do well at Everton if he goes there
Is he a 'top' PL striker? No, obviously not (yet). But he is a very decent PL level forward player, with high work rate and a reasonable goal return.
Given relatively low expectations from Everton fans, I suspect they will be pleasantly suprised by what they will be getting for £15m.
