Really hope this isn't the alternative to McBurnie.

Unless it's agent talk to try and force Swansea's hand?

 

[bladesfc]

Update as of today. Robinson bid accepted now talking personal terms but don’t see too many problems with that one. Osborn nearly tied up too. Henderson sorted. Maupay hitting the rocks, as I said before, not really Brentford paying games but his agent. The agent wants £800k fee just for himself on top of the money to Brentford and the player. Suppose that’s the way it is these days and worse at the top. Maupay could even end up going to Bournemouth. We’re having a look at few other options, one of them being Lys Mousset.

Looks like Maupay off then.

 

[DifferentClass]

Well, he's French.

20 odd goals last season McBurnie - priced out.
20 odd goals last season Maupay - Priced out.

3 goals in 57 games Mousset....sure.

 

[Ricky]

This is an alternative to Maupay if anything.

Pete O'Rourke is a reliable source.

This to me might confirm that Maupay is going elsewhere.

Cadette called it. He's one we've been interested in previously too. Interesting one, but definitely not convincing. Would be interested to know the fee.

 

[true99blade]

Now this would be the definition of uninspiring if it was to be true. Got to give the boy every chance though and I'll trust Wilder til the end.

 

[bladesfc]

£10 million

 

[Nade]

He's scored 3 goals in 58 appearances for Bournemouth.

Am I missing something about how he plays, or is just a shocking return for a forward? Am I right to wonder why we'd be going in for him? Not seen him play in fairness.

 

[Superblades]

Hoping this doesn’t happen, Wilder must see something in him tho.

 

[BLADES1988]

WEEEEEEERZ DICKY CADETTE NAAAAH

 

[Darthblade]

£10 million

£10 million !!!!!

UTB & FTP

 

[TCsLoveChild]

£10 million

That is a LOT for someone with his goal scoring record UTB

 

[Ricky]

As long as we get McBurnie as well I'd be happy.

He's another attacker with pace and potential. Him and Robinson would give our frontline a very different and refreshing look.

 

[Rodley]

It’s pace. The one thing we don’t have.

 

[LANOIS]

10 Million?!

And people were moaning about the supposed Charlie Austin interest.

Mousset has 55 appearances in the PL with 3 goals to his name.

 

[blademark]

Kinnell that's worrying, but what do I know?

 

[true99blade]

I'd be more than shocked if this was to be close to £10 million. It won't be.

 

[boss hog]

Never heard of him.

 

[BLADES1988]

Well he did get 1 in 2 for Le Harve, so he knows where the net is. Maybe Bournemouth didn't play to his strengths?

 

[SufcBilly]

Bournemouth have made a million pound a goal for him.

 

[flashinblade1889]

Well he did get 1 in 2 for Le Harve, so he knows where the net is. Maybe Bournemouth didn't play to his strengths?

I think a lot of his Bournemouth appearances were as a sub he may need some game time?

 

[Grappler]

It’s pace. The one thing we don’t have.

Apart from Robinson you mean, he looked very decent last night in terms of pace and trickery.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Oh dear, very much appears to be barrel scrapping, i hope he proves me wrong.

 

[McGrath]

It’s pace. The one thing we don’t have.

Adrian Littlejohn had pace though. Pace with ability is good, pace without ability is bad

 

[Ricky]

£10m is especially expensive if he has a year left on his contract, as looks to be the case.

Would Bournemouth even consider selling otherwise?

I hope it at least says a lot about his ability.

As for character, we seem to have good contacts at Bournemouth so I trust we've been able to do our homework there.

 

[Maidenhead]

10 Million?!

And people were moaning about the supposed Charlie Austin interest.

Mousset has 55 appearances in the PL with 3 goals to his name.

How many of those 55 appearances were for the last 10 minutes off the subs bench?

Not a trick question and I have no idea what the answer is but it could seriously skew the statistics.

 

[Ricky]

£10m though is still about half what we'd pay for Maupay.

So with that saving in mind, I think we'll definitely press ahead and get McBurnie, even if it means overpaying.

 

[LondonBlade89]

Bournemouth fans pretty much universally reckon there's a very talented player in there. Here's hoping Wilder can get it out of him.

As an aside, those "58 appearances" for Bournemouth are misleading. According to minutes played, he averaged about 20 minutes per game, which is the equivalent of 12/13 games. His goal record therefore works out about one in every four matches. Still not great, but I think we all know it can be tough getting goals when you're just picking up the odd 10 minutes as a sub here and there.

 

[hull-Blade]

Not very inspiring . However trust in Wilder , he must see the potential and something to work on . Time will tell I guess
