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

[Jim D]

Not sure I believe it a Brentford groundsman I know reckons he’s on his way to us.

Did you know him when he was a Brighton groundsman?

Odds shortened this morning to 10-11

Nope. He has that pest-like nature, but he likes to stay in goal scoring areas and is much more of a poacher, rather than Andone who is used to stretch defences. Bit of a big comparison,but I consider Maupay to be more of an Aguero-type player. Or more of a Chicharito, for a bottom half comparison

Having seen his 2018-19 goals video, he's very much Aguero-style.

I like the way he twats them in too. Those Amex nets will create a beautiful ripple.

 

[b.w.2.]

I really hope this one happens. Would finally be taking a risk on a Championship star instead of our usual gamble. Does this show a change of strategy?

Oh what the hell - West Ham now have a reported interest and as we're always coupled with them (and I'm bored) let's do this.

Start the clock NOW

He'd be a steal at £12m.

Where we not linked with him before he signed for Brentford? I`m sure i read on HITC on some other dodgy site that he turned us down as he wasn`t guaranteed first team and may even have ended up in the U23s.

Yeah, the OP has mentioned it.

Ha ha, went through a few pages but hadn`t seen it.

I can't see this happening, I really want to see this happen but I don't. I think Andone could be our 'Aguero-style' striker, but given he likes a bit of red makes me wonder if he'll be 100% reliable. Or maybe it was frustration that he was getting game time and may make more of an appearance under Potter.

Having watched the highlights it's a definite no from me.

I counted 1 goal from outside the 6 yard box.
Imagine him playing for us last season, he'd either have been offside all game, or receiving the ball and shooting from the centre circle.

Can't get past the chairmen being Arch Enemies.

Unless this deal is a peace offering of some sort.

Negotiations wouldn’t be chairman to chairman, they would be club to club. If the player wanted to come and we met their valuation then a deal could happen. They are business men at the end of the day and very successful at that.

I've got family who are Brentford season ticket holders and they think he is s**t.

26 goals (incl FA Cup), 8 assists. I'm glad they don't sit next to me.

Having received your first wry smile inducing reply, you've gotta admit this in joke can be quite enjoyable.


I'm hanging up my 'think he's shitehouse' hat, having gone full circle to the Knocky thread, but I'd hate to see this Dwayneism die out completely.

Oh without a doubt, the one on the Knockaert thread was absoloute genius, and missed by most.

I was looking for us to be linked to some more exotic clubs than Brentford though for it to really land......Guangzhou Evergrande or something

I recently attended a talk by Rasmus Ankersen, Director of Football at Brentford and Chairman at FC Midtjylland (also owned by Benham).

When it got to the Q&A section it took every sinew of my willpower not to ask him whether Neal Maupay was leaving this summer...

 

[macbeth]

West Ham have agreed a 45M fee for some french bloke called Haller as of this morning, so I think that's them out the running for now

Doh you didn't mean it. It's hard to tell on here!

Haller is a brilliant signing for them. West Ham have got their shit together transfer wise this summer - signing him and Fornals and binning Arnie/Carroll etc. Think they’re in for a very good season.
