…I’m still of a view that another striker might still be on the agenda. I have no issue waiting for Broja if there are positive vibes from Chelsea, but it‘s sheer folly not bringing in an effective striker ahead of the season.

Exactly the same with Gueye in the way of, have we lingered too much when we should have moved on earlier ? And how many points has it / will it cost us. All well and good if we succeed and get them but if we don't questions should be asked to our recruitment team.

Blues will love him.

Well yeah, obviously I discarded his Champions League and Super cup games.

This guy is 3rd or 4th down the pecking order at his current club.
He hasn't even played this season!
He would go for free next season as he would've been in the last year of his contract.
If reports are correct Everton will match what Brighton paid for him even though he has had a less than 1 in 4 goal rate.
Most of his appearances have been as a sub.

I'm skeptical about this signing just as I was with Mcneil. I guess as fans we can only hope Frank can get something more out of both of them as we so desperately need some goals.

I have a fond memory of not so long ago when Rodriguez was pinging Hollywood balls to Richy who would either score or pass/cross to Dom to finish. Just in that moment, I thought about how we looked dangerous again. I miss that, sigh!

Happy with this as PART of the striking options.

Fit, dependable, knows the league and has that bit of aggression about him I like.

We’re hardly in a position to find and afford a 25+ goal talisman

He does when a player's ready to be registered inside 2 and a half hours. It means everything is done.

There's no way - at all - this is getting done by noon.

He doesn't.

Guessing this'll be official by this afternoon.

Walks in on big bill with his little boy out on the medical bed and gets back in his car and drives straight back down to Brighton

There's surely something in the fact that Rondon played 90 mins on Tuesday. Did FL/KT know that Maupay was going to be available for Saturdays game?

1 in 4 strike rate. Look out premier league we are coming through. Proper panic mode signing this. Wonder what the next one will be.

SLAVEN BILIC · August 26, 2022

Here are his Prem stats compares to Richarlison.
Maupay 102 apps
Richarlison 175

The highlighted stats are the most important as they’re not skewed by the difference in appearances, they’re based on shooting and outcome.

In these terms it looks like we’ve replaced Richarlison for a quarter of the fee we received for him.

If a player is signed and only his registration needs to be submitted, he gets mentioned.

He didn't get mentioned, so he's not playing tomorrow.

I'd bet my house on it.
