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

[the right footed denilson]

I feel a little uncomfortable saying this, but the truth is I am not sure how I feel about this transfer to be honest. I'm dreading another attacking player not being able to transfer their form from the previous season, in another league, into the PL. I suppose unless you are signing a current PL striker then that will always be the worry. We don't seem to have great luck with goal scorers, I can't really think of any who have really done the business for us beyond BZ and GM, and I can't think of any who aren't tall target men.

Still, if this is who we are going for, then I hope it happens and I hope he can hit the ground running in the PL.

Begs the question, where does Potter see him playing? Instead of Locadia makes the most sense, but he has done alright in pre-season and still doesn't tackle the problem of an ageing Murray.
Intriguing, just as the Webster transfer is.

Surely, another attacking player is on his way out.

Some Brentford gimp on twitter claiming deal fallen through as we couldn't agree personal terms......

If this isn't announced today got to assume it's dead I would imagine

I would have thought Murray, Andone and Maupay all to rotate/compete for the CF position. Locadia looks like he will be used in one of the wide positions of the front three.

Is there anyone 'In the know' who can update us

Brentford have signed forward Bryan Mbeumo from French Ligue 2 side Troyes AC for an undisclosed fee. So I suppose that now releases Maupay to sign for us?

I see Maupay in the Locadia role personally.

Hopefully he was correct with his initial tweet.

I hope he can hit the ground running in the PL.

I too hope he can win us a few penalties.

I don't consider you to be 'IN the KNOW'

Responding to Dingodan.........Peter Ward wasn’t a tall target man.
Seriously. 20 goal a season “guaranteed” strikers in the EPL are almost as rare as hen’s teeth. To survive and thrive you need goals from throughout the side.
The first worry is creating shooting opportunities. Second is being brave enough to try shooting rather than take that one extra pass which failed so often last season. That’s why I especially enjoyed what I saw from Trossard and Locadia in particular in pre-season

Could be completely irrelevant but an odd tweet from the Brentford chairman

You will fail to score from 100% of the shots that you don't take.
