[Albion] Neal Maupay...SIGNED FOR EVERTON.

[b.w.2.]

The one we should of signed, a premier league performer for the same money we spend on a punt.

Agreed but it would have been another punt when we said no to Toney

And should have scored at least another 6-10 easily , needs to have loads of chances to score 1 - not clinical enough

Well we have nobody who has as good a record

Welbeck is miles better than both.

Not in terms of scoring. But I agree he is a quality player

Football is a funny old game. Amazing how a player who is talented enough to do that, is bad enough to do this

Yep, agree, it can happen to the best

Ok La Liga blocked, basically Messi misses open goals.

Well if he is going, I'll be sad to see him go. Don't get me wrong he has frustrated the hell out of me at times by missing sitters but he has also saved our arses quite a few times, see above for the most memorable. His on field antics of being a WUM has been great as has his off field stuff such as Arsenal being told they should 'learn humility'. He took a stand against online abuse & never did I ever imagine rooting for a player playing an online Fifa game during lockdown with my son. In my opinion he works his nuts off & he has been great for our team. Yes I'm his agent and you can all claim £5.

Never rated him, he only managed to score 91 goals in 2012.

91 in 2012? What a load of over-rated rubbish then - one goal in every twenty two. We'll keep Maupay, thanks!

Totaly agree. He would have needed a season on loan to the championship. Much better option than Zeqiri or Sima

Question marks over his attitude though

 

[Weststander]

Don’t think it was as much as £20m. Only Webster cost that much I believe.
From AN in The Athletic- The Athletic understands from Italian sauce that the offer is worth around £15 million (€17.6m).

That would represent a small profit on Maupay, who was bought from Brentford three years ago for £14 million.

Ragù alla Bolognese?

 

[Weststander]

Good point, well made.

My understanding was that he wasn’t within our budget constraints. This from an Albion related podcast I heard a while back when somebody gave the same lament.

Even when he was at Peterborough ? I’m not convinced he’s ‘that’ good anyway

I think the conversation (from an imperfect memory) was more along the lines of someone feeling “we went to Brentford and came back with the wrong striker” which seemed a bit disrespectful to me, but I heard this a long time ago and may be misremembering.

I’m really hoping Maupay stays. It’s always frustrating to see your strikers miss, but he works hard and scores as many as anyone else in our team. I’d really miss him.

If we get to Jan and he’s not needed then take a lower fee, but we’ve not had our new arrivals tested in anger yet, there’s only 30 players who scored more than Maups in the PL last season, and I’m not sure any of them are available for £15 million or less.

Wise words many on here need a rethink

The question is does the manager see Maupay in his long term plans, I would say not.

 

[Icy Gull]

I would understand Maupay wanting new pastures. He was benched at the end of the season when we went on our amazing run. We have brought in what looks like a similar player, Welbeck looks like he’s fixed (fingers crossed) and Neal has gone from being the main man to third or fourth choice.

Makes sense, but I’ll miss him when he goes. Best shitehousery of anyone in the squad and fantastic memories of his Worldy goals to instigate the shitehousery.

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

but I’ll miss him when he goes. B.

I won't

Scorer of some great goals I know, but when he has time he fluffs his lines more often than not, or will snatch at chances or shoot when he should pass because he is desperate to score

Hand on heart, how many on here would be confident of him scoring if put through with time to run onto goal? I reckon less than 50%........and that is just not good enough at the level he is playing at in my humble opinion

Sell.

Can’t get a pen on target these days.

Which strikers score more than 50% of their chances just out of interest ?

Interestingly in the Premier League ‘Big Chances Missed’ stats - Neal Maupay is 41st.
