[Albion] Neal Maupay...SIGNED FOR EVERTON.

[peterward]

Rather damning, l think Maupay a\lways works hard, does his best, (sometimes to no avail l'll grant you). That hardly spells "luxury player" to me. And he did after all score in his second home game.

I agree. different character, but similarly to CMS he would always run and put a shift in and give 100% even if quality was sometimes lacking.

hes not a bad player, decent squad player in half the PL.

With what we’ve seen (or, lack of) from Undav, I would prefer a sulking Maupay to still be here. With hindsight a new manager may have prompted a new contract, but regardless the fee was probably not worth leaving Brighton with with the current striker options to at least January.

Wasn’t it case of Maupay insisted on moving on, tired of bench warming?

Yep that's what we've been led to believe. Spent three seasons with us, scored a few notable goals last season, at Palarse, West Ham, Southampton and others, always put a shift in, did his best, what more can one ask?

In any case why keep an unhappy player? it normally backfires on you in the end.

He was sulking, yes. Opted to leave instead of fight for his place back. I don’t begrudge him that, it’s his short career and Everton was a good move.

When DCL is back for Everton he’ll be back on a bench though. Maupay’s start at Everton hasn’t been great either, so all parties have come worse off so far. I still think the fee wasn’t worth leaving Brighton with their current options, even if it meant having an unhappy Maupay (when was he happy?).

The thing is, £15m for a player who wanted to leave, wasn't getting any minutes (he didn't get on the pitch at all before he left) and was behind Welbeck, Trossard, Undav and possibly even Ferguson is still good business.

What use is keeping Maupay to sit on the bench and not get any game time? All you end up with is a player leaving on the cheap in Jan and still no viable striker to use.

Personally, I still liked Maupay and probably would have kept him but only if he was going to get used. If not, he's basically just reduced to a sulky guy in a permanent tracksuit.

Hey come on, one goal in his first four games isn't exactly a bad start. Everton aren't exactly a free scoring side. It was a move that Maupay wanted, so as long as he is happy with it then good luck to him.

4 games against tough opposition, two wins and one draw and a match winning goal... think they're quite happy with him.

A single goal and an awful touch, they think he’s bloody awful.

Neal who?

 

[brighton_tom]

Absolutely anonymous on the pitch today. Added nothing when he came on. Only DCL’s injuries are going to get him minutes.

Neal who?

Everton bought on Neal Maupay as a sub when chasing the game, we bought on Danny Welbeck, how times change

Brought.

I always liked him and think he’s got more to offer than Undav at present (very hard to tell of course) but he wanted game time. As my dad said to me this week - he’s gone there and done exactly what he did here. Know that sounds simple but I get it - no fireworks or anything - the odd goal I’m sure. The odd bad miss.

Willy Pope would be turning in his grave, but I have had a or two.

I know, no excuse

Their fans are not happy with his end product. Indeed, Everton look short of quality all over the park. Leicester bossed this match tonight, they will be OK now they have Faes at the back and Maddison in the form of his life. Meanwhile the Albion are scoring more goals without Maupay. Good business by Tony.

They started the league will, Maupay up front, getting wins and draws. Decided to bench Maupay and now they're shite.

God is punishing them for putting my Neal in a corner.

Google says,

Bought to obtain in exchange for payment.

Brought take or go with (someone or something) to a place.

Yes so in the context "Everton bought on Neal Maupay as a sub when chasing the game, we bought on Danny Welbeck, how times change", "bought" doesn't work at all while "brought" is your daddy.
