Neal Maupay

[Antonb]

This is so stressful. Worse thing about it we need 2 strikers . So it goes on and on! Also some quality cover for fleck and Norwood. Which will also cost. Oh to have a board with ambition!

I reckon this will reach 175 pages by start of the season.

Villa are going to nick him aren't they.

And we thought the Villa hate on here had peaked.

Still waiting for the announcement people claim is coming monday

Probably will do they have money

 

[Kelso]

May understanding from a “source” is that terms have been agreed with Maupay’s agent, the hold up is down to Brentford changing the terms off what they want up front, a transfer fee was reached with a figure up front, at the last minute Brentford wanted a larger down payment. That is still being negotiated. Trust the source implicitly

Has a Villa bid been confirmed?

i have also heard this from multiple people, they want the final instalment upfront so the deal is all paid a season earlier than originally agreed, dont shoot the messenger

Ffsake I hope not

If May is involved no wonder it’s taking so long, probably trying to push the original deal through with Brentford

 

[knowsnowt]

Still no tiddies!

Don't know, but if it's him or Sturridge there has to be a big chance they jump straight in with £20m+ and blow us out of the water on wages. They don't give a fuck do they.

But to be honest, I wouldn't be too fussed. There are other ways to spend that money effectively.

Who are we dealing with Terry Tibbs?

Ah right.

I need a rest from this forum, really do.

 

[bromtom]

I've taken so many pinches of salt with all these ITKers I think I've got sodium poisoning.

We'll probably end up with Clayton Donaldson again.

Morning all.

Not a regular poster on here but a keen follower of this forum which i really enjoy.

Have followed the Blades for 59 years now since I used to get on a coach to BDBL from the Roland Arms at Aston. Have no knowledge whatsoever on the Maupay saga, or any idea of his true worth. What I do know is that I always promised myself that if we ever spent more than £10m on a player, then I would celebrate by opening my 1983 Pauillac wine and celebrating an incredible milestone in my United life.

I can feel that corkscrew twitching as I type....!

Like you I’m a long time reader without actually posting anything turns out it’s a shared love of music as well as all things blades that prompted me to start typing (username should give you a clue!!) I hope you are tasting that wine before too long!

Where from? Strikers cost money. Alot of money. And we need 2 strikers that can compete in the premier league. So who?

 

[blade67]

"we need Maupay".

No we don't. There must be 30 or 40 strikers globally we could get instead. If they aren't selling move on. He was shit at the lane in our 2-0 victory anyway

We still have Leon & Ched you know.

McBurnie, Robinson and Roofe/Marriott for example.

 

[Harry's Game]

Gut feeling, but I don’t think this one is happening now

I want to try, I want to be me
I want to get high, I want to see

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Morelos too big a of a risk? Was pondering this one earlier when Rangers were linked with Roofe.

 

[Antonb]

Roofe and Robinson? There would be question marks over them .wouldnt say they were out and out strikers. We will need goals .

Financially, I understand why we would want to string out the payment - but does it really matter if it’s paid now or a season down the line if the £ amounts are the same. It doesn’t change what we’re paying or what they receive

We can take out bank loans supported by the future tv revenue we will earn. Seems just a hard ball tactic by Brentford if this is the case but maybe there could be a breakthrough

 

[bigbirdblade]

Same as property auctions - start out a low price but when the auction gets going, sells for a price usually as high as the market rate

Shit going down surely?

 

[hull-Blade]

Someone on here yesterday claimed it was Tuesday morning (tomorrow)
We shall see eh

 

[Antonb]

Anyhow I'm getting too worked up again! Got to have a break!
