Neal Maupay

[Nick Jansky]

My only issue with this is that RC is providing very detailed ITK info, he’s again putting his head on the block

No he’s not. I doubt he gives a fuck whether people believe it or not. He’s sharing info he has when he can, that’s all, up to the rest of us how we deal with it.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Absolutely. Maupay and McBurnie are just diversionary tactics to take the media attention off his real targets.

Genuinely see this happening, he’ll go for someone left field for about 5 mil and he’ll end up getting 25 goals

 

[LongLostBee]

I'd love it if he signed for us. Only because I can imagine Banana would still be posting "no bids have been made" while Maupay is stood with a united shirt on being interviewed at the side of the pitch

With Bananas contacts at the club that’s just not going to happen.

Yes madine will be snapped up soon.

Wilder must feel

I don't think the question of being able to afford him is legitimate - you're a Premier League side and could well afford him. The question is whether you want to be able to.

With the inferior Che Adams going for £15m - fewer goals, fewer assists, poorer fitness/gets subbed frequently, less development potential, etc. - I imagine the Brentford DoFs have noted a market has been made for them and they're able to price Maupay accordingly. We're in a much stronger position than BCFC.

After him heading home from pre-season yesterday I can't see him staying with us - he's off. The question is do you want to compete with the other clubs interested in him? And given the competition for his signature, is his fee really going to be at £12m? There's no point quoting "up front fees" as virtually every multi-million pound transfer is comprised of an up front fee and then additional guaranteed instalments plus potential add-ons... no one quotes Pogba's transfer as £45m... plus £15m... plus £15m, etc. They just quote the whole transfer fee.

He's made good career choices in the past - choosing a lower wage and division to sign for us instead of BHA initially - but you're up against Villa and they have the massive advantage that Maupay has already spent 18 months playing for Deam Smith. The more clubs interested, the higher the fee will be. No doubt about that. That said, we have previous with WHU pissing about but Villa stepped up and paid the fee required for Konsa and that transfer went through quickly and without a hitch.

Strange that this one keeps on dragging on seeing as you've been so close to signing him for a couple of weeks. If you wanted it to happen, we wanted it to happen and the player did too then this would have been done ages ago. Something isn't adding up here and I doubt an agent's fee of £800k is the issue... as that isn't a big agent fee for £20m Premier League transfers. In fact it's quite modest.

Wilder must think it's still on or we would have moved on
he doesn't usually hang about if it's a long shot ,he will have other irons in the fire.
Its imperative we get at least one more striker in .Bettis and Wilder are tough cookies to deal with as they have both said " we have a valuation and will not go beyond that".
Villa are spending mega bucks but so far not seen any game changers coming in .

His contacts being what exactly- always suggested never confirmed and yes the same is true of RC

Here's what I think, and it's total tinfoil hat stuff

Banana may have contacts at the club, but I believe Cadette IS the club, not one person. United's backroom staff definitely monitor this forum, and use the cadette persona to leak information to us, with approval from the higher ups. Dark web, MI6 shit.

McCabe....M? Nuff said

You could be right... but to what advantage? Unless they leak itk info as a form of mis-information to take people off the scent, or for another purpose we can’t work out??

...

let’s consider this so far:

...

Jags - no cadette info released (until last day)

Freeman - some cadette info (but it was common knowledge anyway?)

Robinson - no cadette info released (until last day once it’d be leaked by pne itk’ers)

The interesting this is - i am by no means itk, but even my links with the club (who are much more detached) knew jags was signing about 4 weeks before he did.

How did cadette not know this if he is so close to the club? Is he controlling the flow of info coming out (ie - is ‘He’ the club???)

 

[Akinbiyi]

My only issue with this is that RC is providing very detailed ITK info, he’s again putting his head on the block
and as we know he has an impressive track record of nearly always being accurate, hence he’s earned the trust and respect.

I’m not seeing any detail ITK knowledge from anyone else apart from Blade789 saying a deal has been agreed by all parties and Maupay will be announced as our signing Monday or Tuesday next week, now that is putting your head on the block. Then there’s JLX saying the deal is now off and we’re looking elsewhere, could be true buts it could also be a calculated 50/50 punt and trying to regain their I`TK reputation.

According to Banana, he still insists no bids have been received from any club, which maybe true but (unlike RC) he seems to be in the dark regards negotiations or the latest situation regards Maupay, in fact Banana predicts that Maupay will to be back training at Brentford on Tuesday.

Of course ITK can’t reveal their sources but Banana isn’t actually providing much info, he’s just denying reports and rumours from others.
The worse type of “know it all” is someone who goes around saying “you’re wrong”, “that’s wrong”. It comes across as smug and arrogant.

Banana would receive more support if he informed us of movement in negotiations, interested clubs, timescales etc instead of denying reports and rumours as made up.

JL is about as in-itk as it gets

I also get the impression that it's with the club's approval.

Fair play to them for having the taste to post it on here, and not fucking Twitter.

 

[Scarebus]

You could be right... but to what advantage? Unlesd they leak itk info as a form of mis information or for another purpose i dont know?? ... but let’s consider this so far:

Jags - no cadette info (until last day)
freeman - some cadette info (but it was common knowledge anyway?)
Robinson - no cadette info

The interesting this is - i am by no means itk, but even my links with the club (who are much more detached) knew jags was signing about 4 weeks before he did.

How did cadette not know this if he is so close to the club? Is he controlling the flow of info coming out (ie - is ‘He’ the club???)

It's not about leaking all the info, it's about leaking the right information (or even misinformation) at the right time.

 

[bongleblade]

I also get the impression that it's with the club's approval.

Agreed. If there was a leak in the inner circle this prolific without approval, the club would investigate and swiftly sack whoever was found out - the amount and level at which leaked info could impact upon our finances and club stature would be immense

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Madine is a definitely not coming back to us then.

That was the unfortunate incident where Madine attempted to shoot his gun the wrong way round, leaving us a man down early on in an entirely avoidable incident.

To make our new Brentford friends feel welcome, and to cheer ourselves up, here’s a little commemorative plate I issued to celebrate the time their wonderfully recruited, supremely talented, hugely valuable team failed to score against the ten men of questionable ability and limited value we’d randomly cobbled together...

I see Madine copped for it at the front there.

With due respect. Let’s just say Banana sups at the very top table. Your RC gave himself a lot of outs in his last statement on wages, location etc didn’t he so nothing definite there. It’s been said by a few of us he may well sign for you, and if he does. Good luck to him and if he can perform for you you’ll have a great player. But you will be paying the price the club want. If he stays and performs as well this season we are all pretty sure he would go in the next transfer window anyway.

Ffs we get it. Whoever gets Maupay will be bowing down to you and paying what you want. You are superior negotiators, tough and strong. Backing down to no one. And not just that. Banana might as well be the manager and owner wrapped into one he’s so tapped in. RC knows nothing, he just gives himself outs in case he’s wrong. The banana is all-knowing.

Christ. Broken f*cking record. Our lad was making a post speculating who RC actually is and then off you pop playing Brentford bingo.

 

[Mojo]

Doesn't matter if official bids have been made. Maupays heads been turned and he wants to play in the premier league. Something that won't be happening at Brentford any time soon. Don't know why thats something to be smug about?
