Currently we will be lucky if anybody wanted to take him for free, just so we don't have to pay his wages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Wouldn’t surprise me if he retired. Looks miles off playing at any decent level imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has an attitude problem too. Wouldn't surprise me that is the reason why he is not included in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he retired, assumed it would be classed as through injury, would we get compensation from insurance does anybody know? Would it be of any decent value?

Big Salad Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I feel sorry for Wesley, he was exceptional at Brugge the first time around and obviously that is why we bought him. However, has never really been the same since. I hope for his sake and everyone's sake really, that he can get it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Regardless of the injury, I never thought he looked a premier league player. It was a crazy decision to spend that money and have him as our only real forward. I feel bad for the guy, but it will be an absolute miracle if he plays for us again.

Spoony Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Feel bad for him on a personal level, but even prior to injury an awful player, extremely sulky attitude and just horrible to watch. Shouldn’t be anywhere near the PL. Really bad signing all round. Hope things work out for him, but I don’t think that opportunity can be given to him here.

Plenty of EFL players we could have signed for a fraction of the cost who would have done more for us on the pitch. Would love to know the agencies that got paid from the deal. And how much of a stake Suso had in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were glimpses of a player there prior to the injury, which has most likely prevented us from seeing the finished article. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Villa really wanted to buy Maupay I suspect we would have been able to.
