Neal Maupay

[Harry's Game]

This will run and run.

Unlike Brentford’s play off challenge last season...

 

[Blade58]

Is it not obvious?

Wasn't

Is now

Photoshiting aint my forte as you can well tell

 

[Maidenhead]

I didn't actually.

Past Master of Chelsea Lodge ( the entertainers Lodge)

Ask him about it. I'm sure he'll be happy to talk about it

 

[Maidenhead]

This quote tonight from the Brentford forum..

“Egan had two years here to show he could play in our style and he couldn't. Despite what they'll tell you Sheffield United are still comparatively direct in how they move through the defensive third. They don't require the same technical levels in their CBs.”

ROFLMAO

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Fair point. I'll go but leave you with;

He might want to leave.
Nobody's made any offers from what I can gather
He's going to cost someone more than £16m plus (because he's better than Adams).
There are plenty of clubs in the Premiership that are monitoring his situation so he is not going to accept the first offer that comes along. This will run and run.

Les, we've had a bit of fun with you in good spirits today. But accept he's a Blade in waiting now.

Brentford are my 2nd club by the way.

You didn’t answer the ballsacks question

I'm not here to talk bollocks.

Well you’re making a good job of it pal

 

[Bladesman]

Maybe he has 3 ballsacks?

 

[SUFC Guy]

Do think we are the only club in for him and it is going to happen soon. There is no gossip on any other forum about their club being interested in him.

There is simply too much smoke for there to be no fire. Do we ever announce new signings over weekends?

 

[Lightsoot]

I think Les makes good points, and as others have reasoned, we’d be mightily irritated too if it was our player. The whispers suggest it’s a question of when, not if. If we do pull it off it would be a fantastic signing and Maupay would tick more boxes than Watkins.

 

[Guesty]

Fuck you, Kevin Gage.

 

[SB_90]

we could sign him but it will be 10m 12m max i worked it out / refreshed my stats. we have spent 61m in last 32yrs. the chances of us spending a third or half of that 1 player is extremely unlikely

Tbh, I’m not surprised about the difference in opinion. Truth be told, his position is the least technical of the 3 centre-backs, but it’s as important as each of the other two. Stick him at RCB and we’re asking for him to do a job less well suited to him. We tried that exactly at QPR and though we won Egan never looked comfortable in the role, and once he displaced Stearman he’s not looked back. Similarly, neither Basham or JOC would look as effective in the middle of the 3. Our style and approach maximises the strengths he has. If Brentford want to think he’s not for them, so be it.

We’ve done nothing wrong that I can see. Nobody in our set-up has so much as hinted he’s on our radar.

My point Loughborough related to some posters mocking Les on this forum, not referring to United’s conduct which I agree seems very considered.

Just like a stuck record just like a stuck record just like a stuck record just like a stuck record just like a...

Aside from Kevin Gage, who is a club employee technically.

Is he? Thought he was a publican or whatever who worked for Radio Sheffield on the side.

Is he an ambassador or summat?

I mean Wilder’s set-up. I’m not sure Wilder’s domain extends to the Match Hosts & Comperes!

 

[Tunstall Fred]

I mean where have the rumours of a medical come from?

From a Doctor

 

[Blade58]

My lad has messaged me saying that one of the young players has had to give up his place to Portugal to make way for another player and it's not Jags

 

[Andy67]

How many people do you know with a flat head like that?

Or an elbow that touches his knee!

 

[Pinchy]

Fuck you, Kevin Gage.

To the extent that he is a Little Englander and a Tory lapdog, absolutely fuck him and fuck Half as well.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing...

 

[s4-blade]

This is poor. We can spend £12m on a player but not an extra £60 on another seat on the plane

 

[Pinchy]

If only there had been a massive change in circumstances, eh?

Have you considered twitter? You might feel at home there...

Could be just bollox

The lad could have gone in the luggage bay but its full of crates of Peroni.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

The way I understand it, there has to actually be an offer before it can be renegotiated.

Have you actually said how you know there hasn’t been?

From a Doctor

On a slightly related point, surely Dr Baz and the physios will be in Portugal with the squad, so who’s going to do the medical

It's a good stat, but I would guess that this seasons income could well excede the previous 32 years in total, maybe even all time?
I'm sure some statos could tell us.
