Neal Maupay

[Champagneblade]

She`ll never drown.

No. But she might suffocate!

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Stop it !

I don't want to be reminded of the earlier incarnation of Jay McEveley thanks , I have enough problems dealing with my Chris Guthrie nightmares .

I nearly threw Terry Garbett in there as well, but technically he came from Watford, via Blackburn Rovers, to us.

Chris Guthrie eh? Southend United isn't it? £100k wasn't it? Oh how we longed for a "BIG" centre-forward. People always said that's all we were missing and used to criticise Billy Dearden for not being big enough (despite him being a phenomenal player and goalscorer). So we got Guthrie. A club record fee at the time. One of the biggest flops of all time. Viv Busby came after him I think? He weren't much cop either!

I’m a fan of the way Brentford go about things. Good luck to you. You’ve done what you’ve needed to do in the last 2 seasons in this window and bought a defence. I think you’ll enjoy Pinnock more than Pontus,.

What like closing their academy ? If all none premiership clubs go down that route it's not going to help our young lads develop.

So, as someone who's not really read much into this potential signing, what's happening (if anything)? Was it all media/agent talk and nothing else or have we actually enquired and are trying to work out a price?

We have enquires, or have we?
We have made a bid, or have we?
Brentford have accepted the bid, or have they?
Brentford have moved the goal posts, or have they?
We have agreed a deal with Maupays agent, or have we?

Hope that clears it up.

Sums up the few pages out of 120 odd I've flicked through, thanks.

Is it pronounced More-pay or More-pie? Asking for a friend.

Definitely MOPEY

 

[Scarebus]

It's pronounced "Sheffield Uniteds Record Signing for £14 million"

Mo-pay. The "au" in French is pronounced Oh (au pair, etc).
This will not stop half our fans, should we sign this player, pronouncing it "Morpay".
Poor Christian Nade (pronounced Nadd, but not by our fans) gave up in the end and started mispronouncing his own name as "Naday".
I blame the Brexiteers.

Christian Nadd! I think that is one of those occasions where we just have to accept that the wrong pronunciation is also the "right" pronunciation. See also: Phil Yag-yelka. I'm just not having it.

Is it just me , it could be that Maupay was a one season wonder, he scored more goals in the first half of the season when he was unknown than he did second half.
I'm not sure this seemingly escalating fee is worth it.

I agree with this. Was talking to a Villa mate a few weeks ago when they were first linked with him & said I thought £8M should be tops for him because it's such a gamble. Paying double that would be madness I think.

How was he an unknown.when he played for brentford the full season before?

 

[bongleblade]

Mo-pay

Gives it a deep south twang

Good job he wasn't an American footballer or the crowd would be shouting 'Go Nadd!!'

 

[Groucho Blade]

I always thought there was an acute accent on the e of Nade...which would make it Naday

I thought Nadé has an accented é, which would suggest that the Naa-day pronunciation was correct? Wiki seems to back me up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Nadé

Scored 12 in 42 the year before quite unremarkable really so he wouldn't have been singled out by defenders and managers.

What I'm saying is let's not be held to ransom .

That was after a few seasons plagued with a knee injury.

This is a player that was expected to be playing at the very top level when he was 16.

Hes 22, that's what you're paying for.

 

[Torrix1889]

Surely it's Moower-pay

 

[Snowman]

Where does one acquire a green confirmed sign please?

Well brentford hold all the cards as long as the players happy there ,we had this with waghorn last season,Maupay is untested especially mentally at the top level ,I think wilder will have a cutoff point and its getting near to it .At least anyone we're interested in knows Wilders staying which can only be good.

Pukka question pal.

 

[Chumpyblade2568]

Has he got sunstroke from playing golf yet?

Jostein Flu

The thing that did me with this was Motson calling Tore Andre ... Flo, but Jostein... Flu! Idiot! Haha
