[Albion] Is it right to sell Neal Maupay?

[brighton_tom]

Everton will want rid of him in the summer, they've already realised the mistake in signing him, but Neal will be in no rush. It will all depend what offers come in, and if any excite him. If not sit back and collect your money. Wonder if he's at all thinking he should have pushed to stay with us and fight for his place/new contract. Probably not.

I thought from his very brief introduction last night he got Everton back up the pitch and should have been on before Gray who did absolutely nothing.
Would have offered more that Undav Saturday who is painfully shite.

 

[Monkey Man]

Poor guy is really on the scrapheap by PL standards, no idea where he goes from here.

Can see him doing reasonably well in the Championship (which might mean Everton), or perhaps the French league, if any clubs can meet his salary demands. But I'd be surprised if we see him in the Prem next year.

Incredibly harsh on Undav. There is a player in there, I think he will come good. If not for us, then for somebody else.

To slow for the PL, he has come good although it was in a league way below PL level.

I saw someone in one of the threads compare Undav with Baldock. At the moment, I think that looks right.

Neither good enough for us whilst they were at the club.

 

[Pavilionaire]

If Everton go down I think they will sell DCL and go with Simms, McNeil and Maupay in a Brentford- style BMW strike force.

Baldrick was a really good Championship player for us.

From what I've seen so far of Undav, he's that level too.

"Painfully shite" is a ludicrous assessment. How long have you been following this club? In fact, it doesn't even need to be that long to remember some of the crap we've been served up. Undav is worth 20 Locadias, who cost 4 times as much!

 

[Originunknown]

Bit harsh. I think you will find they were just signing off their post.

The snide comments about Everton being a step up sat well with you too?

As per post 56 on this thread I was quite pragmatic and knew it would open the path for Evan, but since Neal has left and he's no longer our snide wanker I don't wish him well.

Couldn’t disagree more.

Rewriting history. Baldock was excellent in our promotion season.

Quite, and because we switched to one up front, I don’t think Baldock got a fair opportunity after promotion….

Let me put it another way the signing was not an improvement on what we already had so why sign him? The past is the past.

He was indeed.

Undav was certainly doing his best to match Neal's misses against Bournemouth but still think there is more to come from him.

A footballer joins a new team after being pretty much forced out of his old team and he says nice things about his new team. Does this upset me? Not in the least, I'm not that sensitive and far more grateful for all the good times he gave us.

He wasn't able to get in the team towards the end of his time here so him leaving was good for all concerned. Calling him a wanker is disgracefully ungrateful and stupid. Such words should be used for the real tossers in this world like Cucu.

He lacked respect for me and couldn't resist a bit of a dig, so it's easy to pay him the same. He also highlighted our finishing 16th in the previous season, without the self awareness to realise he may have had something to do with this.. his glaring misses being a primary factor.

He's history and thankfully so.

Do you still not understand how this club does its business?

He cost £4m, we loaned him to USG where he scored loads. He's come back in, he's not quite been up to the step up, but the jury is still out that he might yet come good. But he absolutely is not "painfully shite". I'll continue to back the club over this sort of signing because some of them DO come good. You might note that we have at least 2 world class midfielders, neither of whom were particularly expensive.

No we didn’t he was signed by Union we signed for £8m you are thinking of Mitoma

€7m, so around £6m then: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brighton-amp-hove-albion/transferrekorde/verein/1237

Still, that's a lot less than some pretty disappointing players we've signed.
