[Football] Maupay

[Justice]

Well aren't you a little ray of sunshine this morning? With this "mission" you say we appear to be on, other than getting £50m for BW and AC's latest hair style what evidence do you have for this doom mongering?

Maupay’s injury last week the bench had very little in attacking options and can you honestly see that changing before Tuesday? The £50m covers losses, I would be surprised if it went on attacking talent considering we seem to be struggling to get the Spanish wing back lad through the door.

I'm sure not many would argue that we have strengthened significantly in this window with just Mwepu added to the first team so far, but that is a very different thing to a "mission to actively weaken the squad". These aren't the Archer days of asset stripping nor is any first teamer transfer listed. Bissouma isn't on Ebay, Barber isn't walking the streets of London with Maupay in tow singing "Boy for Sale". We just haven't bought the couple of players that we hoped to have yet, but cheer up, as a wise person recently said; "The window hasn’t closed yet."

What a bizarre post.

What a bizarre post.

Well it is weaker than last season maybe actively was a bit tongue in cheek still think we need 2-3 in by Tuesday.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Even if we could double our money , I can see no realistic scenario where selling Maupay in this window is a good idea.
He will stay.

Is it weaker than last season?
There’s an argument for saying that even without White the defence is not demonstrably weaker.
Midfield is much as it was in terms of skill and balance.
Regrettably the same is true of the front line.
There’s an argument that trimming squad numbers reinforces efficiency.

Really not sure we are any weaker

IF Everton are actually interested, they might have a bit of money to spend as Richarlison is being touted as a replacement for Mbappe at PSG, and Moise Kean might replace Ronaldo at Juve...

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Due to decent start to season, agent perhaps thinking - MAUPAY = MOREPAY

We are in the new world of Potterball, you have to think more Wenger in Potters ability to improve and develop young players.

We have 10 players out on loan all set up for possible 1st team action next season, Ositgard, Mitoma, Van Hecke to name a few. From this and last years transfer windows we have the following who must be knocking on the door (plus Richards £2.5 million and Roberts club developed, now making the bench)

Karbownik (about £5 million)

Caicedo (About £4.5 million)

Zequiri (About £4 million)

Scherpen (About £4.5 million)

Sarmiento 19 possibly the most exciting of them all from Benfica, he has chosen us because of the pathway to first team football, cannot find anything to indicate the price we may have paid for him.

I think Potterball and the club is not about big (panic) buys, if a better player becomes available at the right price and they fit the plan all the better, but we are about building, developing players and making a profit to pay for that system.

So looking in any signing is a bonus but may even stop one of the younger development players getting into the match day squad

Maupay for £35 million and sign Nunez and Cucurella,keep Bissouma……I would take that .

I wouldn’t and neither will Tony.

My guess :
Maupay stays
Bissouma stays (new contract)
Cucurella arrives
Nuñez……..

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

I'd agree with that.

Real Madrids 180m bid for Mbappe accepted and now looks increasingly likely PSG will move for Richarlison, the domino effect being Everton having money to spend and identifying Maupay as their number one target. Wouldn't accept anything less than the fee we got off Arsenal for White.

Real Madrids 180m bid for Benzema accepted and now looks increasingly likely PSG will move for Richarlison, the domino effect being Everton having money to spend and identifying Maupay as their number one target. Wouldn't accept anything less than the fee we got off Arsenal for White.

Sounds like a bit of questionable business.

The squad is stronger than it ended last season thanks to the return of Solly March. If Duffy continues to perform to a level that makes us not miss White and if Lamptey returns then we are significantly stronger.

Where is Sarmiento? He keeps being mentioned in posts but not in match day squads

Isn't he loaned to USG

 

[The Fits]

I doubt anyone can afford Maupay right now- he is almost priceless to us currently.

U23 signing. Injured I guess.

Yes, we've got rid of Jahanbakhsh, Tau and hop-along Izquierdo - going to hell in a handcart (via the Championship). Nailed on ...........

Well it is weaker than last season

Let's stick to facts, eh? It isn't.

Yes one for @AZ, perhaps he has been involved in internationals. I keep waiting for him to appear in the U23 squad
