Why? He’s never been prolific.
He’ll be injured every couple of games anyway. Welbeck is not the answer or the future IMO.

Not replacing Murray is just criminal. We need someone with the instinct to finish first time. That goal Vs Man Utd in the 3-2, deft first time flick or any number of poachers finishes in the box. We just don't have that anywhere in the side. Maupay I think does add value to the attacking line, holds the ball relatively well. But cannot finish instinctively and neither can any of the rest of them. Tall and bulky or not, we need a finisher. We just don't have it and it's so glaringly obvious that it's a concern that the recruitment team haven't filled this gap in the last 3 years.

Ibrahima Niane could be a good signing., asuming he's recovers ok from a knee injury which he suffered earlier in the season....

I’m thinking this season. For next year, if Bloom wants to invest, hopefully two new strikers, with a couple of our current strikers. I have no clue who to bring in though
Absolutely bang on

i wouldnt bother - maupay looked like he handballed it in the build up so would have been ruled out by VAR anyway

Andy Carrol sounds like your ideal striker . How can we prise him away from Newcastle after he's done so much this season?
Don't buy big....Buy good.

Indeed; Connolly suffers from not being up to this level - he’d be prolific in league 1, nearly double figs in a championship team. Maupay is neither a #9 or a10 at this level - he’s too frantic and a confidence player ermmmm oh dear. Welbeck is a time warp player, good ten years back, alas he’s remained there whilst the PL has left him way, way behind - not sharp enough nor good enough anymore.
In short, we’re not short of height - moreover guile and (yes absolutely) quality.
Andone right now, is our Obi Wan ... our only hope.
Cripes!

Andi Zeqiri.
Raw, but can win a header, puts himself about, gives us another option and is clearly eager for a chance.
We can't persist with Maupay, surely even Potter sees that now.
Wellbeck carries himself like a court jester. He was a desperation signing who nobody else wanted, who we only got after missing all our targets.
We need to be trusting in youth now. Moder, Karbownik, Zeqiri
