[Albion] Neal Maupay *** SIGNED from Brentford - 4 year deal - undisclosed fee ***

[dwayne]

What are people's thoughts on him.

Very early days but apart from his well taken goal at Watford I think he's been pretty poor. Genuinely can't think of anything decent he's done. Barely touched it today.

Will give him at least 10 games but slightly concerned regarding his form

He’ll do fine. Give the player a chance.

Hopefully he can find some form, needs more game time. Today looked like CMS mk2.

This, looks the most promising of our recent offensive signings....

Plus Trossard, I think he could become one of our greats. He’s only going to get better, as he improves his decision making in a ‘top league’.

Loco?? His cameo appearance was pathetic

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Don’t think he had much pre season with Brentford as there was all the transfer talk. I think we need to give him time.

 

[Rugrat]

Big step up for him ... needs to get some experience of dealing with Prem defenders. He'll be OK

 

[Megazone]

It's hard to judge him when our midfielders seem incapable of playing a through ball.

That might be a little harsh, but - Propper had a shot when NM had made a great little run and could have had a tap in. Still it's early days, I'm really looking forward to seeing how things develop once the players have more experience playing together and have a better understanding.

I found one of his closing down runs very endearing in the second half. Locadia was much closer but didn’t seem bothered but Maupassant, who had been on the pitch for an hour + sprinted to close the defender down. I appreciated that.

I think once the team gels and Potter can work out his best eleven, we're going to see chances taken and attacking moves looking much more fluid.

I think eventually we're going to see Mooy replace Stephens. Not sure what's going to happen to Bissouma in relation to where he fits in once back from injury but it does seem that once the midfield starts clicking better, we'll start looking a lot more clinical. I thought both Propper and Stephens looked far more positive against West Ham than they did today. Stephens went back to his crab styled passing and Propper just didn't have that influence on the game which when he does, can set us apart from the opposition. Both midfielders looked poor going forward. Didn't they both have shots on goal very badly struck? It was our big weakness last season not having any command in midfield. Hopefully Mooy might be the difference?

Funny how people see things differently. Although Propper had a couple of shots which should have been better I thought generally they were both pretty dominant and very good today.

 

[Albion Dan]

Hard to tell when he’s been played as a wide player yet scored almost all his goals for Brentford as a central striker?

I wouldn't say they played badly, I just would like to see them play a bit more forward. There were a few times in the first half where Maupay made some decent runs but the through ball never came. Everything just went wide to either Wingback. Maybe the lack of telepathy between the new strikers and the midfielders could be the issues which you expect with all new signings so it's early doors but I won't lie, I'm very excited about Mooy and the influence he may have once he gets his chance.]

The downside of Maupay as far as I can see is that he is very lightweight and easily brushed off the ball.

 

[Stat Brother]

8 more players to go and he's got the full set.

Early days and getting used to the speed of thought that PL players generally have...first game he’s started ...unfortunately you don’t have the luxury of loads of time to get used to things
