2025/26 David Moyes

[Delargeinho]

Forwards were a big blind spot for Thelwell. I think he did well in most other areas of the pitch under difficult circumstances but Broja, Chermiti, Maupay and even Beto were pretty weak signings. I do acknowledge, however, that there is a premium on forwards that makes it difficult to do well on a budget, not impossible though.

Yeah, forwards are hard to get for us, but expensive in the market.

25-30m for the likes of Beto and Barry is a normal price these days.

I expected more from Maupay, he had double diggits at Brighton and cost around 12m.
