Confirmed Signing Neal Maupay

The lads got to be on a windup tbf. I’m just bored.

I'm not saying sign him. I was asked to provide a proven Premier League striker that we could afford and would come to us.

Pukki has scored nearly 40% more than Maupay over their last two PL seasons and would be much cheaper.

There are better options than Maupay.
 
How many times does it need to be said that he’s refused a new contract and can walk away free in 6 months?
February is a strange time for his contract to be up. Don't you mean he's in the final year of his contract and can sign a contract with a foreign club in January when he's just six months left to run on his deal to join them upon his contract expiring in June?

He can't walk away for free in 6 months. He can walk away for free at the end of the season. They are choosing £15m now over losing him for free but they are not devastated at losing an easily replaced player.
 

People keep saying this like it's a guarantee. Brighton don't want him but apparently he's boss. Properly Naismith, this signing is.

They offered him a new deal, he didn't want it so is leaving. They're selling him so they don't loose him for free next summer.

Isak is 22 and has 57 goals in 121 games, not far off 1 in 2 since he was 18. He will be a very good signing for Newcastle.

For roughly what they'll pay for him, we've spent on Onana and McNeill.

Maupay scored more than Isak last season in a far superior league and is costing £45m less.
 

Will be interesting to see who scores more this season.

Certainly. There's a feeling with Maupay that we know what we're going to get. A player that knows how to score in the league, is competitive and works hard for his team.

Isak has been very hot and cold for Sociedad, there's a big element of risk for that price. Could end up another Sandro for all we know. We don't have the luxury of being able to take expensive gambles at the moment.
