Confirmed Signing Neal Maupay

[Petit]

Happy with this if true. He is a 1 in 3 slotter with a better career record than Calvert-Lewin and is 1 year older. He has also bagged 25 goals in a season before now.

In fact genuine question. What in people's eyes makes Calvert Lewin better than him?

A 1 in 4 striker actually. 10 goals if plays every match, probably. Not great, not terrible,

 

[The Binman]

Harsh on him that.

He looks from his career at St Etienne, Bradford and Brighton to be an average 10/11 goal a season player.

That could just be enough to get us safe.

Presume you mean Brentford rather than Bradford

Everton in advanced talks to sign Neal Maupay with Brighton forward out of favour at Amex Stadium

Everton target Neal Maupay has not played for Brighton all season; Frenchman scored 26 goals across three seasons for Seagulls after £20m move from Brentford in 2019; Toffees also interested in Southamptons Che Adams

Overheads, penalties, both feet finishes and a fantastic knee slide.

Proven Prem player, 1 in 4 striker and he’ll only start until Dom is back, then he’ll be a good option off the bench. £15m is a decent deal to be fair.

Might have something a bit novel, a striker partnership,
Dom and Rich really didn't seem to play off each other at times.

Diaz is not a target man, he's more a second striker of off the left, yes he's big but he's also pretty rubbish in the air or with his back to goal.

Was one of Adams, Maupay or Diaz imo and we went for the best of them.

I could see Maupay and DCL playing well together in a front 2.

If FL is insistent on 5 at the back I hope he plays 532

They didn’t at all. I cant actually remember our last forward partnership. Ferguson and Jeffers?

Mate if other fans read this forum they would place our players under 24/7 security

Well, one did end up in a safe house.

He’s a very solid signing mate, in fact all of our signings are, I can’t see us loaning any of them out in 6 months or a year as we have seen with Alli & Gbamin.

We’re going to be an absolute face ache to play against, if we keep Gordon. DCL, Gordon, Maupay, that’s a tough day at the office.

Maupay and DCL is a very interesting combo, very different but complitimrntory attributes, both could be n excellent foil for the other. Maupays best goalscoring seasons came playing with another.

We’l love Maupay here he leaves it all on the pitch, battle his heart out and play at a really high tempo from the front.

How dare you besmirch Dame Judy’s name

You saying it's not the real Dame Dench?

I'm speechless.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Don't rate him mate?

No. Having said that I didn’t realise his goal scoring record was quite as good as it appears. He is an absolute snide (which may be a positive at times) but he isn’t a grafter and he needs service.
Between him and Adams he is very much second best. I accept that he is better than Rondon but he is no target man.
I hope he works out for you, even though he is a snidey ex vermin.

Lukaku and Naismith

 

[Brownie]

Not a huge fan personally, but he's a decent all-rounder and should score at least a few goals, which is more than most of our forwards. With the position we're in, at this stage of the window, I can understand it.

 

[Nymzee]

Lukaku and Naismith

I mean we played DCL and Richy up too together many times.

 

[Eagle Eye]

A 1 in 4 striker actually. 10 goals if plays every match, probably. Not great, not terrible,

91 goals in 310 career apps according to transfermarkt, so definitely not terrible....

 

[blulouie]

Can he play on Saturday if he's done tonight or tomorrow?

Yes...by midday tomorrow
