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

[Live by the sea]

Quite a big claim. Outsiders always underestimate how much of a step up it is into the PL. I’ll take with a pinch of salt I think.

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

the logic being Proper wasnt up to it and Potter knew that

I’d love a bit of strength in depth.

Please keep Biss I love him

Same original source now saying it's done too [tweet] 1412047336704991234 [/tweet]

No idea why he's put the Leeds hashtag. Maybe we need to ask them first before we sign him?

He probably meant to tag Leicester but got it a bit wrong. Who can blame him, who keeps track really?

 

[Dunk&Disorderly]

Yep, expect this to be announced in the next couple of days.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

How many Kwacha will he cost?

 

[The Fits]

He is meant to be very, very good. The Leicester Zamvian credits him with the bulk of his goals a la Murray and Gross.

 

[elwheelio]

Apparently he's known as the "Zambian Kemy Agustein".

1/3 or what we get for Biss is my guess.

Surely we are not paying £20m plus for a player with only Austrian league experience

He also has Champions League experience. His team mate, Patson Daka, cost Leicester City £23m.

Why not?

Salzburg have an excellent record for developing talent.

Sadio Mane
Erling Haaland
Naby Keita
Dayot Upamecano

Let's hope Mwepu turns out to be half as good as any of them.

So did Nzuzi Toko, and half the Celtic squad. Doesn't make them worth £20m.

Guess we'll have to trust those qualified professionals that have been watching him for months (if not years) and the man writing the cheque, not a load of old men on the internet who had never heard of him until a couple of days ago then

Very good post this.

Salzburg is a centre of excellence for the development of top and world class talent.

Surprised that none of these ITK Twitterers have taken advantage of the fact an anagram of Enock Mwepu is… Coup Me Knew

And we’re not trying to buy them.

True, but Haaland, Upamecano, Konate, Werner etc. cost more from RB Salzburg and they are worth a lot more now. Well Haaland's fee was under 20m (19.5m..) due to his relase clause.
