Neal Maupay

I've never pretended to "offer" anything personally. But 'Banana' has (No bid) and I trust him on this one, since he is not just any old Bees fan, but one who is in a position to know.
Somebody who chooses to use the name of a curved fruit (and all its connotations), is not a person I would find easy to take serious.

My own feelings are that your valuation of the player has exceeded our assessment of ours and the player's potential. And that we feel if we are going to pay more, we are better off looking at better players.

Plenty of people suggested that, but not RC (at least that I've seen).
So it would help if he elaborated on exactly what he meant.

We'll see.

Meanwhile, re your "much cheaper" in Jan etc.

If BFC don't receive an acceptable offer, then he stays, under contract until 2021. What's he going to do then? Sulk until Xmas? What's that going to do for his saleability come January? Do you think clubs are going to line up to buy someone with a severe attitude problem, even on the cheap?

Alternatively, he could knuckle down and repeat last season's form, where he'd scored 15 goals before January. Which would make him much more attractive to suitors.

And a lot dearer...


I’m not trying to be argumentative here but if Banana or someone else has offered anything other than just your opinion then I doubt we have a 100 pages discussing it

That’s why this thread has derailed, it’s a lot of posts by yourself and Banana and others all saying this person knows no bids are in and nothing more than that, I mean it’s the football version of you and others coming on and saying Brentford have bought Messi and when asked all you offer is well our guy knows so take it for what it is etc

I mean you may all be right of course but none of you have remotely offered anything to make me think otherwise

As for keeping Maupay I think the horse has already bolted, you already have given him two periods off due to him not being fully focused and frankly if he is happy to stay and not looking to leave etc then you have just written the book on how to handle pre season badly

So of course he will play and play well and if you don’t let him leave then he will walk for free and you have lost out unless you get lucky and get up
 
Gerrim signed up already!

----------- Sharp/Maupay -------- McBurnie/McGoldrick/Mousett



Osborn can play in a number of positions


Me bloody likes the look of that !
Yep ..... you could be the new CW - 100% agree and I like it. We will get McBurnie .......... could do with x1 more CM option and CH - but I may be being greedy. I LOVE the look of Robinson / Morrison and Freeman in the number 10..... sadly we can only play one and this makes a sad departure for one of our own 'Duffy.'

This is almost like a comedy sketch.
Banana has just been reading the London Evening News and quoted them, their reports have consistently said “no bid from any club”.
Banana doesn’t even seem to know why NM has been allowed to leave training and what’s his or the clubs intentions are.
Has NM or his agent kicked up a fuss? Do Brentford have a replacement lined up?
However of course it can be very dangerous to the club when real ITK knowledge is shared in advance to other parties.
So Banana can simply sit back smirking saying he knows the full situation about NM’s plans but he can’t tell anyone about them.

My theory is that a fairly local club like Brighton, Palace or Bournmouth have spoke to his agent, provisionally suggested a really attractive deal
But they’ve asked him to hold on until they sell their player, then once sold they’ll come in for Maupay.

You don't even know who 'Richard Cadette' is, so you have even less knowledge of 'Banana's' true identity. Bees fans do. And we know what he's had to say on those other things elsewhere.
Of course if he chooses to stay undercover on this forum, that's his prerogative but I think I can say this: you shouldn't need to be Sherlock Holmes with a Supercomputer to find out who he is, and from there, how he comes to be ITK on this one.
Oh and btw, there is no publication called the London Evening News.

Possibly, possibly not.
 
What would it take to get the Brentford fans to stop posting here? Genuine question. I’ll even make a Kickstarter page and chuck in the first fiver.
 
This thread is slipping down the page and losing traction. So I thought I'd better help to bump it up, because there's an awful left to discuss yet about Neil Maupay
Not much longer to wait before we all know. Us 'idiots' haven't been wrong yet, we said it would be like this. I think you're more an outside bet now but who knows.
I don't think we will get quite what we asked for. That's how negotiations go I guess.

Would be amazed if he's a Bee this time in two weeks.

He’ll be a wazabee In two weeks time.

Introducing Bots for Bees.

£5 a month helps create and run an A.I. controlled twitter bot to fully engage a Brentford fan in conversation for a full afternoon, saving the rest of us from having to listen to them. For just £3 extra, you will help run a messageboard where state of the art algorithms automatically create topics about bid existence, business models and ITK legitimacy every few minutes and so doing, will occupy countless Brentford supporters (well a dozen or so) for hours at a time.

Please. Think of everyone else. Pledge today.
 
You have to factor in the agent in all of this.

It's potassium based fruit. It you can't understand that then I can't assist you any further. :)

If it's potassium based fruit you were targeting then you would get 'more bang for your buck', with avocados, guavas, or kiwifruit.
A bent and slippery banana is as bad a choice as us signing NP at the price you're asking. ;)
 
If BFC don't receive an acceptable offer, then he stays, under contract until 2021.

This is where your “buzzness model” parts company with reality. There is absolutely no possibility of you retaining a talented ambitious young footballer for two years against his wishes. Neither he nor his leech will stand for it. He’ll develop a niggling and persistent injury. He’ll get flu, measles, mumps, bi-polar, life-threatening sunburn from playing golf without applying factor 50. Anything.

The unpalatable fact is that your immutable, immovable policy will quickly give way. What is not an acceptable offer now, will quickly become one before it depreciates to nothing. That’s how it works. ‘Twas ever thus.

With due respect (and that’s none whatsoever, I’m afraid) you are not Tottenham, not Arsenal. You are Brentford. Fucking Brentford.

When I pointed out that he's still under contract until 2021, I meant that we do not have to sell him this window. Indeed, we won't have to sell him in January. Come next summer, however, when he will only have 1 year left, then we will have to sell him. (Unless we got promoted, that is)

Of course, "having to" is different from "choosing to". I still think it most likely that s.o. will make an acceptable bid before this present window shuts, and we will choose to sell.

But the longer it goes on, the less likely it is going to be Sheff U, not least because you have yet to make an actual bid...

And yes, I am quite aware we are "fucking Brentford": it's what WHU called us when we told them where to go after they put in a laughable bid for one of our players.
 
Sheffield United have already had bid accepted for Maupay.
According to you.

According to people who should know at GP, there has been no bid.

And he's still at Brentford, with no sign he's ever been near Sheffield.

Never known a rival fan sign up to our forum as we’re linked to one of their players...

Another level of sad 🤣
