Confirmed Signing Neal Maupay

[phil_t98]

Like the rest of the signings (Onana aside) he is a mid table at best player. Lampard and KT are setting the bar very low

mid table a step up from where we are. lets build and climb the table and as we climb the table we will attract better players

 

[BlueStevie35]

Ever the optimist, aren't you?

Nah he was a red

 

[Nymzee]

His English accent is mad.

 

[bluematty84]

Have we determined if his available to play today?

 

[tom_b1807]

Between him and another forward signing we should have, at minimum, replaced Richys goal contributions

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

He’s French so we’re talking ‘Farting in ones general Direction’ level snide

Worse he has requested to play for Argentina.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He's an average, underwhelming prem league player, probably our standard at this moment in time.

 

[Nymzee]

Ever the optimist, aren't you?

No, but he is someone else.

 

[tom_b1807]

Would love to have seen an attack of him Richy and Gordon. Opposition heads falling off everywhere with the combined antics of those three

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I think our financial situation and the fact that, at best, we've been a mid table team over the last few years are actually setting the bar

 

[witchdoc187]

Is he injured yet?

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

8 goals in the Prem was T-28 last season and T-36 the season before for goal tally. If you look at the players above him on the scoring charts, you'll find that they either:

a) were on massive wages at a Sky 6 club
b) would command a hefty transfer fee
c) are older than God

I think any DoF (well, maybe not Woodward) that perused this forum would walk away shaking their heads and muttering, "Pearls before swine."

Everything is about context.

Scuffing/deflecting a handful of important goals to almost single handedly drag one of Englands biggest and historic teams to PL safety makes you a club legend.

Neatly slotting a similar number of goals for a “nice” south coast team to finish mid-table makes you crap and underwhelming.

His all round impact on the club and the fans will surely never match Richy’s, but whilst some goals are worth way more than others, they all need putting in the net. There is some evidence that he is capable of doing this. ?

Maupay and Richarlison don't have massively different goal stats.

he's not

Better than the not a Premier League player standard of Rondon!
