[Albion] Enock Mwepu (Retired 10/10/2022)

[vagabond]

I haven’t seen him play to be honest, but he’s a champions league midfielder. Good pedigree from a quality league, good age and re-sale value.

I’d like to think he’s insurance in case we do lose Biss last minute. But we need position in this area as we’ve lost Proper.

 

[Napper]

Was hoping AN would say no.

20m seems a lot so must be first team.

Hell of a risk when been playing in that noddy league.

Trust the club I guess

 

[Whitechapel]

A bissouma replacement?

He’s more box-to-box than Bissouma, obviously it’s a weaker league but he got 10 goals and 7 assists in 45 games last season. Think of him as a Yaya Toure compared to Biss being a Viera. They’d be incredible together, as things stand I’d assume (hope) we’d set up like this

Sanchez
Webster - Dunk - White
Lamptey - Bissouma - Mwepu - March
Groß
Maupay - Welbeck

Steele, Veltman, Moder, Caicedo, Trossard, AliJ, Zeqiri
​

Add James & a new striker to that and suddenly I’m very, very excited

The only concern would be when the ACON rolls around.

This must have some connection to getting Bernardo there if true.

 

[SeagullB]

Looks a good player, who has played champions league football so shouldn't be doubted. However, we can't be sure whether he is a bissouma replacement, as he appears to be more of an attacking midfielder. Maybe the club want to move him deeper like bissouma was himself?

 

[Mancgull]

From what I’ve seen of Caicedo so far, he looks a real talent, but I think would currently be found out at Premier League level. He’s only 19. This guy looks quicker and a more obvious Defensive midfielder.
Sell Yves for £40m, bring this guy in for £20m and get Caicedo first team ready for season 2022/23. Great succession planning whilst we make a nice profit.

 

[forumwayseagull]

That is now the SECOND player we have bid 20-25 million on this summer. Both in different positions as well which obviously means we have some cash to spend. The outgoings seem to have started well..Propper/Bernardo/Gyokeres/Malkar/Izquierdo and shortly it will be Ryan. Money obviously saved as well as 50 million that is coming in for White means we should be in decent place to get some quality additions in those key areas...

Someone was onto him back in January.


Who is Enock Mwepu? The Bissouma alternative who can be Thomas Partey's dream partner at Arsenal

This seems certain.

My guess is that the deals were agreed at the same time between the clubs but personal terms are taking longer for Enock.

Stop it, you are making me feel a bit excited/

What's Adam Lallana done to upset you then?

 

[casbom]

It could be one of those ones where it's so left field where you wonder what would the poster get out of it for posting some fake news? If your trying to get more followers surely he would have said he's signing for Arsenal as they have been looking at him? So maybe there is something in it and it's Bissouma's replacement. We'll find out in the next few days.

See, don't always write off a rumour from someone who only has a few followers. It's the complete randomness of it which intrigued me!

He's injured in his future reality

Out for 6 weeks with a terrible case of me forgetting he existed

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

I wonder what Alzate makes of all this.

Well the hope he is realises he needs to kick on.

Had lot of issues last season it seems and went backwards from the progress he made previously.

Only signed a 4 year deal last summer so plenty of time for him to force his way back.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I wonder what Alzate makes of all this.

I would like to think, he thinks it is the nature of the beast and either fights for his place or requests a transfer.
He is good and shows potential, but maybe his race is run here.

 

[Freddo]

I'm struggling to see the logic of literally giving Davy Propper away for free, only to break our transfer record on another central midfielder

 

[Live by the sea]

Andy Naylor now confirmed the interest . £20m seems quite steep .
