He is obviously good I agree, but im just saying that id rather not take the risk in that position. It makes or breaks teams who get promoted.

Still drunk from Monday Still, rather we go for proven striker. its the one position in the team that makes and breaks teams that go up. Its why they cost so much money relative to other positions. Thats a fair point mate but when you say proven, what are you judging that against? Top quality strikers are at a premium and guys that gaurentee 20 goals a season want champions league football, the rest of us are buying guys that you hope can step up. I know you didn't mean to put Drogba but whilst on the subject Chelsea did spend big on a player from a mid table ligue 1 team because they thought he could step up, and it paid off.

Think he's an absolute clearing in the woods but would like him in my football team. Good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Brentford wanted 20m for maupay didn't they? Would rather pay the bit extra and get Tammy in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted May 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2019 I have a feeling Chelsea will be very reluctant to sell Tammy given their embargo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Tammy has already made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to leave Chelsea unless he has too. He's Chelsea's Grealish, he's been at the club since he was 7 years old. Chelsea will likely be reluctant to sell, but Tammy will also be reluctant to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 20m for Maupay is steep. No thanks, we can do better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2019 If we've got £20 mill for a striker then I'd want the very best we can get for the money - and not sure that's Maupay. I think Suso knows where to shop... (other than WH Smiths for his magazines). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just bought Rod Stewart's house in Essex, so I doubt he would want to relocate just now. Anyone else wonder why he would buy a house that comes with a football pitch, when he's never fit to start a game for whatever club he happens to be with? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to think if we’re gonna drop that kind of money on a player we can do better than an untested mid table championship striker. He may come good and I appreciate we have to somewhat take a gamble, but you can get better value for money abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Kodija and Hogan cost us 12m a piece. 20+ goals a season. What makes Maupay £8m more? Edited May 29, 2019 by Lord Willard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason we farmed Grealish out to lesser teams at around Tammys age. He's only 21. Plus regardless of his quality it's harder to get into Chelsea's side because they keep signing players they can't sustainably afford. Plus when I said "Chelsea's Grealish".. I was more meaning that he's a childhood Chelsea fan, that has played for Chelsea since he was 7 years old. If we don't expect Grealish to leave under similar circumstances, then why would we expect Tammy to do the same. If he does sign for us then neat, but I'm not expecting him to in the slightest.

I think Grealish went out on loan once, when he was really young like 5+ years ago to Notts County, since then we've done everything possible to not only integrate him into the team but to make him the focal point of it. Has Abraham made a single league appearance for Chelsea yet? Young English players don't get a look in at Chelsea, haven't done for years and won't change under Sarri, assuming he stays.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Why are people talking as if Smith was in charge of transfers at Brentford? My understanding of their system is that he had virtually no input whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
