At Brentford Maupay averaged 1 goal for every 5.6 shots in the Championship, Excluding penalties. To make a comparison, here are Glenn's stats for Championship compared with his Premier League numbers, excluding penalties. 16/17 Champ. 4.8 shots per goal scored 17/18 Prem. 4.6 shots per goal...

Not knocking Murray, but if we intend to play a fast transitional style, why would we need a big lump up top? We have plenty of height for set pieces, so we can get away with a shorter front line in open play.

But lets not get carried away, We had the best player in the Championship the season we went up, unfortunately that doesn't always translate in the Premier League.

L'Equipe are pretty accurate regarding transfers, compared with most newspapers. Plus Maupays agent is French, so likely to be on speaking terms with French Journos.

Similar was said of Venkeys when they took over at Blackburn. And £s weren't a concern, until they got bored.

Perhaps a list of verified trusted sources would be of use? Equally, a blacklist of rogue sources would help.

Odds still suggest it's between us and Villa and with them having already spent £100m+ can they afford another £20m on Maupay?

He was playing in ligue 1 in France when he was 16 and has played in the Europa League at 18.

I'm not sure he is as one dimensional as his you tube highlights would have us believe. Ive compared his shooting stats to those of McBurnie and Roofe and he wipes the floor with both. His shooting accuracy is 46%, the other 2 are both 25% His total shots inside the area 78, the other 2 are...

Probably rhetorical, but in the interest of accuracy, Glenn missed 6, Florin 3 and Jurgen also missed 3 big chances. According to the Premier League staticians.

You may be right, for a poacher to be effective the team needs to exert consistent pressure on the opposition goal, this is difficult to do if they are carrying one player who only 'goal hangs'. Cruyff once said Inzaghi can’t actually play football but He just always seems to be in the right...

Goal poachers are worth their weight in gold. Go and take a look at the show reels of Lineker, Solskjaer, Inzaghi, Klose and Michael Owen. It's about being in the right place at the right time that gets a player 20 goals a season.
