Neal Maupay signs for the Weed

[PeterK]

25 goals for Brentford last year and a player that could make the step up to the Premier League,
Some of his play and finishing is Dougie-esque.
We really need a creative player like this to give us a different option upfront aside from Wickham and Benteke who are both too similar and one dimensional.

[Billy Rhino]

His wages are too low and he doesn't get injured often enough. Simply wouldn't fit in.

[AJ]

Brentford probably want 20m or more, yet people on here would sell Townsend for 14m and Benteke for 15m.

Christian Benteke is on £120k a week and has scored 4 league goals in 2 seasons.

Bite their hands off for that Benteke offer. Get this lad in on half the Benteke wages, only 22 as well.

Likely destination Aston Villa.

You know we still have Sorloth. Can you be sure he is better than that?

[EagleSE24]

£30m for Maupay and Watson?

Do you think Sorloth would score 25 goals in the championship? I certainly don’t think so.

[Optimistic Kev]

£30m for Maupay and Watkins doesn’t seem too bad value wise.

Then again, it’s not my money!

Absolutely

[ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay-o]

I'd have them both but would only if the fee is reduced by a third .

[Nostrils]

I like the look of Maupay, he scores all sorts of goals, links up well, and at his age, should hopefully get better.

If we brought in Watkins as well, not only would we be a lot stronger, we'd have two players that would settle easier and already have an understanding of each other's game. The fact they probably wouldn't need to move works in our favour too.

[IronMaidenCPFC]

I would take them for £25m but not upto me, hopefully if it is legit and we officially go in for them the rest can be add ons but could be good business i wonder if that means a striker will be sold this summer (Wickham likely to go on loan, maybe loan deal to brentford for the season?)

[aj4england]

Don't think we can afford two gambles, maybe one and I doubt that maupay is up to it

£20M with add ons for the pair would be a fair deal for both parties id say. We lack quality in the final third, having these two would most certainly help.

28 goals last season suggests otherwise.

I see that Southampton appear to have been rebuffed in a low ball offer for Che Adams, perhaps that be worth keeping an eye on

8m or so wasn't it?
