No my point (and the OPs point) is that you just don't know. Currently he's probably good enough for a team that's staying up every year, I think if we want top 10 or thereabouts this season we need to invest for sure. But I think to say that maupay has reached his potential in the PL and that...

I'd like to ask how does maupay differ from the other examples that the OP listed meaning he won't get to the level that they did?

Not arguing the legitimacy of this particular piece of info, but 'trust the argus above all other news sources' doesn't really equate to 'if it's not in the argus, it's not true'.

Knows a move is imminent and is trying to preserve his fitness OBVIOUSLY!

why? a player being injured has never stopped us before

That's your view I guess, and a very reasonable one at that. I saw a post on here earlier about how strikers are generally overvalued and this is why TB won't spend on one because he wants to stick to his moneyball philosophy, but the thing is, none of us are actually privy to all the...

however many he gets. I just think EXPECTING him to get X amount of goals when he hasn't really done in previous seasons and has a very dodgy injury record isn't wise. I don't think he's someone who can be a reliable goalscorer week in week out for us, and I'd say only Maupay and perhaps...

yes to both of these but heralding him as someone who is going to be able to get 8 or 9 goals for us in a season or be our main source of goals altogether, as opposed to just a very good squad option, is (imo) misguided to say the least

Come on, that was 10 years ago and happened once in an 18 year career.

maybe i need to lighten up but this just seems a bit classist to me :shrug:

This is pretty much where I'm at. We CAN (and would be well within our rights to) go with what we have again. But if we truly have that objective, then the current bunch just don't cut it I'm afraid. They're not s***, we don't need to sell them all to Crawley, it's just that currently, they...

If he's injured till September, he won't be around the first team till end of October/early November (building up match fitness etc.) So he won't be starting regularly till Christmas time really. We'd need to bear that in mind before the inevitable flop accusations would start flowing in. Should...

And waiting until they pick up an injury to make our move...

Well yes exactly. If the club want to push on into the top 10, which they have repeatedly said they do, I think we'll need a new striker. If not, that's fine, as I *think* we've proven enough times that we have what it takes to stay up regardless, but all it takes is a few injuries and results...

Hmmmm? Nobody is telling tony how to spend his money here. It's just a reasonable assumption that if we fail to address the one position that we're clearly lacking in, we can't really expect to do any better than we have in previous seasons up until now, can we?

I would like to make a very very left field suggestion here too.... michaela coel. Was fantastic in I may destroy you and in that black mirror episode uss callister

Richard Ayoade pleaaaaseeeeee...

Well yes, it's not great, but I just feel lucky that I'm not sat in bed feeling like someone has **** in my head and I can still do work/admin. And yes, glad I'll most probably be recovered by the time the Albion are back, and I'll hopefully get to watch Cucurella/our new striker in person!

Thanks. Other than taste and smell I have no symptoms, so frustratingly I'm stuck inside despite feeling fine. Hence why I'm posting even more speculative transfer updates on here than usual!
