Confirmed Signing Neal Maupay

[AndyC]

Welcome to Everton Neal Maupay. Nothing less than a debut hat-trick will suffice.

A hat-trick at Leeds on Tuesday will send this place into a complete, joyous meltdown

 

[AndyC]

Not gonna lie and don't want to put pressure on the fella,

But I think he'll be the greatest player the world has ever seen and score about 45 goals this season.

That's it Mac, bed him in gently

That's it Mac, bed him in gently

Calling it now mate, he'll be MOTM tomorrow without even playing and be MOTM Tuesday and MOTM the game after and so on. Whatever games are left, just stick MOTM next to Maupays name.

Two months after Richarlison was sold.

What a club.

Let's hope he hits the ground running.

 

[Efctrueblue]

Just do this.




What a complete waste of money, I would rather play a traffic cone up top.

We’ve already got one of those….

And then have to accuse myself of vote rigging - no fear.
Are you some sort of anarchist

Just read on the Athletic that he got sent off for calling Jon Moss a "f****** joke".

Hes won me over.

Welcome Neal mate.

Told Yers. Vera is never wrong. She is now in the back of her VW Transporter serving up Coq au Van.

 

[Agent Blue]

He's likely to get a few reds too, short fuse...

So a bit of a loose Cannon then.

Talkshite reporting done deal

A warning for this really?, seen plenty of posts worse than this, Emir has been promoting an absolute tool on his posts

 

[roy vernon]

Good price for a good player. Is he a Richarlison or a Calvert Lewin? Of course not, but on the p!us side, he's not a Rondon or a Tosun. He will be an instant upgrade to our forward line against Leeds and when DCL is fit again he can either play off him in a front two, or, play the old Richarlison role playing on the left, but, drifting inside. Welcome Neal.

Was referring to the official team numbers mate

I know, I was joking. Keep up John xx

Eventually someone will sign for us and just score goals. I’d be amazed if he doesn’t score within his first 2/3 games. I don’t think he’s that crap.

Come on Nealo!

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the main striker. Everyone knows this. If Maupay gives us 8-10 a season well that's Richarlison level of goals so that'll do nicely.

I think it's more likely that it shakes out when healthy like this:

- DCL and McNeil lofting balls at DCL's noggin is Plan A
- Maupay and additional winger (loan?) looking for Maupay on the ground is Plan B

with us mostly playing three up top, probably with Gray on the other side adding a goal threat up that flank to keep the opposition honest, or Gordon if we keep.

Rotate starts as needed to keep players fresh, and to best attack whatever the opponent is giving us. If you don't like what you're getting, pull a double switch and execute alternate plan. If you think two up top is going to work today, start DCL and Maupay. If it doesn't, sub lesser performer today off and add appropriate winger.

Since we're going to be a grind-it-out team, it's even possible that Lampard will deliberately get it wrong at the start. He can then bring on what he thought will work best once the opposition tires. That plan is looking to limit the damage to 1, play from behind if necessary and hammer two in late on.

That's a pretty flexible toolkit. I would really like one more attacker for cover (foreign loan slot? no Gordon sale?), relieving Rondon of his number, but beggars can't be choosers.

 

[Agent Blue]

Ben Brereton?

I think he'd cost more than Maupay.

If that members criticism is Maupay's 8-10 goals a season isn't enough, then what are we expecting from Brereton?
we
Maupay scored more goals than Brereton in the Championship.

It's why Potter/Brighton paid £20m to sign him from Brentford.

Maupay is a very decent player, a pragmatic signing. He's not going to solve everything overnight but then who is? We need more after him.

Agree mate, I think Maupay will be a solid player for us and Addams the same if he comes.

REALLY relieved we have at last signed a striker. Hopefully more to come.

I mentioned Diaz as I'd seen reports of around 15 mil being his pricetag.
