Confirmed Signing Neal Maupay

[emir]

Maupay, est mauvais? Ou bon?

Il est pas mal.

 

[davids]

Brighton would not be letting him go so easily if he was part of Potters plans. And he would not be coming here unless he was assured a starting place.

He averages 9 goals a season across the last 3 seasons, playing in a Brighton team that creates more chances and plays better Football than we do. The chances that he comes in and scores 10 or around that number are realistic, but is that going to be enough.

I understand that not everybody is going to be a superstar, but I think we should be targeting starting CFs who could produce better than 10 a season. Maupay is not that.

List your prospects?

Josh King's " thing " was to score around 10 goals a year before Everton.

 

[Death]

He plays tomorrow. On efc.com

He could also play outwide , centrally and was a " nuisance " to play against

 

[nsno-chris]

Tevez and Aguero are his role models

Quite impressive, very grounded and down to earth

 

[Agent Blue]

Heard that kid bangs and can really fire a ball.

Explosive and can hit the target.

Here’s what will happen as its hardly a non repeating pattern.

We sign him, you didn’t want him.

He will be a rare bright spark on his debut in a disappointing Everton result.

You will revere him on here.

Everton keep having disappointing results and player’s form dips.

You will revert to hating on him as your need to be proven right supersedes any positive atmosphere enabling the human to feel confident and perform for the team you claim to support.

He likes reading a book in the dressing room before games
I wonder which one he will read in ours...

Mate why not try and learn more about the situation before being so quick on the negative?

Just to answer each point there;

Brighton would not be letting him go so easily if he was part of Potters plans. And he would not be coming here unless he was assured a starting place.

Potter wants to keep him. Quote from when he was linked with a move last season;

When asked about the Frenchman, Potter told reporters: “He’s been important since he’s been here.

“It tells you by the amount of games he’s played for us, the amount of time he’s been on the pitch.

“He’s a player that’s developing all the time. He’s not perfect, but he has a lot of really good attributes and qualities that the team appreciates.

“We’re pleased for him that he scored two goals in his first two games. There’s a lot of work which goes on outside that which is important for us as a team.

“We’re pleased with the start he’s had and hopefully he can continue.

And last week he was asked for an update and he said Brighton aren't kicking him out the door.

Maupay won't stay.

Potter is then planning without Maupay.

Maupay can leave for free in January.

He's money in the bank, they wouldn't risk injury.

If he was receptive to staying, he'd sign a new deal, he'd be playing for them and we wouldn't be able to afford him. Basically the situation last season.

He averages 9 goals a season across the last 3 seasons, playing in a Brighton team that creates more chances and plays better Football than we do. The chances that he comes in and scores 10 or around that number are realistic, but is that going to be enough.

We've scored more goals than Brighton for each of the last 3 seasons on the bounce.

As for Maupay;

- League goals - 10 in 37, 8 in 33, 8 in 35. Their top goal scorer in those 3 seasons. Over those 3 years, he's contributed a third of their goals.
- Compare how he'd rank at 10, 8 and 8 in an Everton team the past 3 years.
- He's 25, he hit double figures (ok, 10 league goals) in his debut season as a 21/22 year old for Brighton.
- It sounds daft, but he tends to score goals that matter. It's not like he slots 3 in a 4-0 win to bump up his numbers - 'Take away the nine he netted in 2021-22 and Brighton’s record-breaking ninth place finish becomes 14th spot in the table. Maupay was single-handedly worth seven points last season.'

Some more context here;

I understand that not everybody is going to be a superstar, but I think we should be targeting starting CFs who could produce better than 10 a season. Maupay is not that.

Please name them.

Preferably for less than £15m, with potential resale value, who are relatively low risk who would come.

Probably was tbh but he never got on the pitch.
