You were asking for the same amout weve just paid for McBurnie thicko

If NM was your "No.1 target" (per RC), then OMcB must have been your No.2 target.

And if we were asking the same price as you were subsequently prepared to pay for McBurnie, then why wouldn't we have accepted your money?

Oh yeah, because the player wasn't willing to accept the only PL offer open to him, preferring instead to stay in the Championship with fucking Brentford.

That must be it

 

[Mouth of the South]

God, I hope Maupay goes somewhere soon just so this thread can be closed.

Any chance the Admin could give the visiting Bees their own thread as they did with Pasta Man to allow them to give updates on the number of bids received and explain their business model whenever they want without impacting everyone else's reading pleasure?

He wants to go home to France. Said club don't want to pay asking price and it will go down before the deadline.

For the record, do you think if he knew the only two options this season was to play for us or you, do you really think he would choose you? Not because we are the Blades but I am guessing he would prefer to go up a level.

Goodbye and good luck (again)

 

[NewBee]

We couldn’t agree terms with him or his agent unless Brentford gave the agent permission to agree a fee otherwise how do we agree the Agents fee

BFC agree a transfer fee with SU (or don't, as it happens).

The Agent's cut, even though dependant upon the two clubs agreeing, is negotiated by him separately, with whoever he's representing (player and/or club).

 

[Brownieblade]

CW clearly thought he could do a job in the PL.

I thought that

CW clearly thought he could do a job in the PL.

Big difference between thinking and knowing and let’s all be honest here we thought he is worth the risk because we are in a certain budget

If we had the money Villa had to splash around maybe the target list changes, maybe in that scenario Chris thinks like many of the other managers out there

Just because a fee is agreed, it doesn't mean we have to submit an official transfer offer. It's just not how it works.

But to get a cut he has to have an agreed fee surely otherwise it’s a pointless exercise

 

[NewBee]

But not enough to make a bid?

CW thought he could do a job, but wasn't prepared to pay the price BFC were asking. So there was no point in bidding.

After all, if he was prepared to pay it, then it would have been to his (and BFC's) benefit to make the bid and announce it, since it would at least flush out any counter-bidders, so he would know what he was up against sooner rather than later.

Wilder has made a habit of putting in bids for players lower than the asking price. He did it with McBurnie and he's done it many times before with countless different teams, all of which I'm sure are just as resolute as Brentford. I see no reason why he wouldn't have put in any bid at all for Maupay just because the asking price was a little high. I buy RC's line that ultimately Maupay was holding out for somewhere better. RC has given us solid information for 18 months on countless signings. I don't believe this single line of insight from BFC fans which is "we've had no bids".

 

[Large Mendonca]

This is all incredibly pointless. NeeBee has "Banana" who's their ITK, and we have Richard Cadette. We're probably not going to find out who was right, and in the end does it really matter ??

Time to move on surely

 

[NewBee]

He wants to go home to France. Said club don't want to pay asking price and it will go down before the deadline.

Which French club is that? (Genuine question).

For the record, do you think if he knew the only two options this season was to play for us or you, do you really think he would choose you? Not because we are the Blades but I am guessing he would prefer to go up a level.

He'd choose SU every time. Anyone would.

Goodbye and good luck (again)

Thank you.

[CaptainMorgans]

Every time we sign a player, it is in the hope that we can help him develop into a better one.
And if/when he does, we know that he's going to want to move to bigger and better things (usually the PL, though sometimes a bigger wage in the Championship will do it). So Maupay wanting to leave is absolutely no surprise at all. If anything, it is a testament to our recruitment and coaching etc.

Of course, if a player's dream move fails to materialise, he's bound to be pissed off. But here's the thing: we're not going to ease his disappointment by substituting it with our own (i.e. reducing our fee).

So that while he's still under contract to us, which he is, then he's got to realise the best way of getting a new move to the PL is by settling down and continuing to do the job we pay him to do.

Except we didn't. For if SU were happy, we were happy, and his agent was happy (as Richard Cadette claimed), then the only person who can have prevented the move going through would have been the player himself.

And why would he do that without another better deal on the table (or incoming)?

Being as objective as possible, I'd have thought a move to SU would be close to ideal: a progressive club clearly on-the-up, who can offer him regular PL games ("No.1 target", remember), on two or three times his present wages.

Jesus mate, you're like a broken record. Everything was agreed, Maupay & agent decided to hold out to see if a better offer would materialise. It didn't and now he's back to see if our offer is still on the table. Why are you so keen to enforce that we didn't agree a fee for him.

We're about to pay close to £20m for McBurnie, the fee for Maupay would have been no problem for us. He was our Number 1 target and at the time of agreeing the fee for him we hadn't spent much money (Robinson, Mousset, Osborn etc all agreed since then). Brentford sell their best players when the price is right, it's your business model, why do you think it is any different in this case?

I don't understand why you're so keen to push your theory. RC is quite clearly very well connected to the inner circles in our club. His record is very close to 100%. Why would you choose just to ignore all of that? It's gone beyond weird.

 

[Brian Deane]

I mean, this is all just lovely, but you're looking at starting the season with a striker who has very very publicly been pushing for a move. He even needed some days off to get his head straight. You accepted a figure for him (NO BIDS!) and wanted him to go. But, he was holding out for the really big move... which sadly for Maups just hasn't come.

Just how focused will he be while he's thinking of other clubs and the homeland?

It's basically the same as being in a relationship with the love of your life. Sadly, Steve up the M1 flashed his cock at her and really got her attention. This lovely lengthy girth was nice enough for you to say "You know what, that cock is bigger than mine. I'm hold my hands up and end the relationship." Steve didn't even make a pass at her, but they flirted and that was enough to let her know that he wanted her. Alas Sharon thought she could get a real humdinger of a French veiny bangstick and decided to stick with you for the time being. She even went to Magaluf with the girls and had all manner of blokes grinding their groins against her. Oh she loved it, but it just wasn't right. Despite her coming home stinking of Isay Miyake and Bacardi Breezers, you welcomed her back into your bed and gave her 15 minutes of mediocre sex; her eyes vacant, she's clearly not really with you. She's just in same bed.

And the relationship continues. Neither of you happy. Both wanting out. Going through the motions. Dying a little inside every day. Both longing for another man to come along and end the sadness. And you wish Steve would come back too, but he's moved on. He's with Olivia. She's fucking magnificent... massive hairy muff, but magnificent.

Have a nice season mate xx

Kin ell...... Steve (whoever he is) managed to shag her 5 times in 15 mins......gerrim signed up

[FriethBlade]

As it stands, I think McBurnie is a far better fit for us right now because he offers us more in his all round play than Maupay and is more of a physical presence. Hopefully Sharp will step up to the mark again, he’s the closest striker we’ve got to Maupay, although he hasn’t quite got the pace he had when he was the same age he makes up for it in experience. If not and you’ve still got him in January we might come a calling again. Good luck for the season.

Sharp is more than the closest weve got to Maupay. Sharp has done it season after season. At present Maupay is a one season wonder and if he doesn't repeat the feat this season he becomes worth half as much as Brentford.currently think hes worth.

 

[Antonb]

well i think wilder wanted both Mcburnie and maupay, for about 12 to 15 mill each. But it hasnt worked out that way. So we have paid top end to at least bag one of them.

 

[Antonb]

I dont want maupay now anyway, he would have come weeks ago if thats what he would have wanted.

 

[Jan Age]

Genuine question.......how many players (and who) have we let go/sold that we wanted to/should have kept? I assume most would have kept Brooks but as he funded other incoming players, it wasn't too much of a loss was it?
[

I would say under CW Adams - no one wanted to lose Brooks at the time but it did help improve the overall balance of the squad.

Keeping it recent I would say we shouldn't have let go of:

Murphy
Maguire
Calvert Lewin

 

[wizadry]

He knows fuck all mate. Of course the deal was alive, Wilder has said so for a start, plus someone who knows even more than Wilder has also said so, Dickie Cadette.

 

[flashinblade1889]

You are assuming that the deal never materialised because of NM and his Agent being BTC's.

Yet according to Richard Cadette, the Agent at least was eventually satisfied.

Now maybe NM on his own decided that he could get better elsewhere, and so turned you down?

But here's a more plausible explanation. The Agent started touting NM around some time back and realised SU were in the market for a striker. He spoke to you, saw you were v.interested, briefly overplayed his own hand (commission), but backed off so as not to scupper the deal. Terms were agreed between SU, player and agent.

SU then spoke to BFC, who were asking more than you were hoping/expecting/prepared to pay. In the end, CW would not go over his limit, as is his usual modus operandi, BFC would not go below it, as is ours, and so SU declined to lodge a bid (no point).

Which was the real reason NM's head wasn't in the right place: his best (only?) chance of getting his move to the PL this window now looked like foundering, because neither BFC or SU would budge.

"C'est la vie", comme disent les Français...

Move along,move along there’s nothing to see here..............

 

[Nick Jansky]

Thank you. He might be on the bench, but who knows, he might even start, since even though he's not been playing psf's, he has still been training.

In any case, I'm led to believe yesterday evening was when "our own window closed" i.e. the time to consider bids for our players had passed, we needed to concentrate on the weekend to the exclusion of all else.

Oh and good luck to SU for next season, too.

I also wish you good luck for the season. Proper club is Brentford and I’ve had some enjoyable chats with your fans over the years.

It seems CW was prepared to agree a fee potentially rising to £20m for McB but not for NM. And he never claimed that NM was his number 1 target. I actually think he wanted them both, but NM hasn’t shown the credentials needed to become one of our players under our current management team.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

RC: "Maupay and his agent now touting themselves around again as the higher end interest never materialised but think we’ve moved on"

What, that you don't look to be signing your "No.1 Target" for this transfer window?

Strange cause for satisfaction, I'd have thought.

Still, if we can manage to keep him until the window shuts, which is looking increasingly likely, then that will be our "No.1 Target" achieved.

Which would be satisfying indeed.

Bruh. No.

 

[Harrisblade]

If NM was your "No.1 target" (per RC), then OMcB must have been your No.2 target.

And if we were asking the same price as you were subsequently prepared to pay for McBurnie, then why wouldn't we have accepted your money?

Oh yeah, because the player wasn't willing to accept the only PL offer open to him, preferring instead to stay in the Championship with fucking Brentford.

That must be it

NM probably lost his no.1 target status as soon as he showed reluctance to 'come on board' and so CW moved on to his alternate no. 1 target
That's more probably it
