There is no way we are buying anybody called Bellotti however good this one might be.

Fwiw he's only scored 1 goal in 2022.
Yup defo getting relegated again
bw2 is a decent lad but his bedwetting and pantie shitting over singing a new striker left me with no choice....
I hope he's well.

I guess we ignore the goals he scored in 2021 then.

So we played much better without him in the side, the argument for keeping him isn’t very strong tbh. Trouble with Maupay is he doesn’t improve he’s always a fans favourite next season he will do better. Never does though I would even say he declined last season.

He scored 8 league goals all season, has a year left on his contract and was dropped for the run in. His time is up.
The club has obviously decided to let him go, hence them being unusually candid about details of the offer from Italy. No doubt trying to flush out counter offers to secure the best deal possible.

Personally I like Maupay. He harries and presses and gets in peoples heads. Needs to cool his temper a bit but it’s who he is. If he does go, we still have Trossard, Undav, Welbz, Ferguson, Sarmiento, Mwepu, MacAlister, Kozlowski, Enciso, Mitoma, March, Caicedo who can all potentially chip in with goals. Not unreasonable to think they’d cover Maupay’s 8 between them.
Andone is still our player too. Although I doubt he’s in consideration really.

Yes, he was our top scorer.
As per my original point, Maupay is younger than Undav who many are saying is Maupay's replacement, which may well be the case.
But it's a bit odd to want to get rid of our most proven PL scorer who is still incredibly young for a striker.

Not odd if he doesn’t want to extend his contract or we have no interest in offering him one. Not saying that is the case.

Not when the team plays better without him, gets better results, as they did when he was dropped towards the end of last season.

How many games did he start to the tail end of the season ?
That to me tells you the story.
Take the money and go again

Somebody's just offered £15M to take him to Serie A.

If we haven't offered him a new contract (or he has stated he won't sign one if offered) then he is in the last year of his contract. Fee now, smaller fee in January, or SFA next summer. I think he cost us £20M or so, so we're unlikely to recoup that. As an opening offer, £15M ain't bad. Could maybe try and push for 1 or 2 million more, but for a lower level Serie A team they're probably stretching their resources pretty hard to raise £15M.
No way am I clamouring for him to go, but all in all, in the last year of his contract, with apparantly £15M on the table ...................... well, it makes sense. With Potterball, it's never going to be about getting like-for-like replacements anyway.
