[Albion] Neal Maupay *** SIGNED from Brentford - 4 year deal - undisclosed fee ***

Here are the lyrics to that song. Can anyone decipher the cryptic meaning?

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark
Tingle to his bones
'Twas then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel
With a neon burnin' bright
He felt the heat of the night
Hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate

A saxophone someplace far-off played
As she was walkin' on by the arcade
As we sold our star striker to the blue and whites
Where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup
Of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate

He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care
Pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside
To which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again
How long must he wait?
One more time, for a simple twist of fate

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin
But I lost the ring
She was born in spring
But I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate

Frankly, I won't be upset if this one doesn't happen. I don't think we need him - it's just going to be an additional block to Andone and Locadia getting a chance in the side. I believe in both of them, as central strikers. I'm not interested in seeing either of them playing deeper or on the wing - they're both central strikers, lets give the boys a chance!

Don't shoot the messenger!!

Banana:

Absolutely no chance. And please don't copy shit from Twitter onto here. Please do a little research first. e.g. how many followers do they have, what are their previous tweets like etc.

Otherwise this place just becomes a junk dump for anyone with a Twitter account.

Personal terms were agreed weeks ago probably.



Let's wait and see first before throwing any dummies around.

Maupay is required. Hes sharp as they say, we require his movement in our front 3 quite badly. On top of that he knows where the net is.

Could be completely irrelevant but an odd tweet from the Brentford chairman

Not sure I agree with this. Maupay scored 25 with 8 assists in the league last season and would provide brilliant competition for Andone and Locadia (and the others for that matter).

He would be a great signing.

Neither do I, but thought it might help pass the time of day, whilst we wait.

Saying that, the bloke who broke it on there says he found out from his friend in the finance dept at BHA!
