Why would he give up £2-3m per year? Because he would have insurance as well or he should have, he will have been given the option. It’s called career ending insurance and sometimes covered by the club but if not can be payable by the player. The player gets a lump sum and it’s tax free. If he hasn’t got insurance or any player hasn’t got insurance then he’s made a mistake. I think over the years when I’ve seen it being discussed in various places, the insurance cost varies but is about half a weeks wages per annum. The club will also separately have insurance for themselves to protect the value of the asset/player. Edited October 20, 2021 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but I don't think any insurer would agree to pay him up, technically he is still capable of kicking the ball, and played some minutes, even in Premier League, this season.

It will very much depend on his insurance and wording, then medical assessment of the impact to him. The main question is why isnt he playing for Brugge and not even in the squad. If it is a break down of injury he may have to retire and would likely for the basis of his claim if he was to make one. The claim doesnt have to be made as soon as the injury is incurred but can be substantial time afterwards and medically signed off that it is the case. All very unlikely I know but I'm intrigued to understand why he's not playing for Brugge, is it just not being picked or is it injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maupay is a humble hardworking man off the pitch, I have no issues with him being like he is on the pitch I wish we had more of that in our squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancvillan Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 If we'd have signed Maupay he'd have been in the bomb squad now. And do people forget how he played last year? 8 goals, 3 of which were pens. He wasn't exactly setting the world on fire. Wesley had the same number of goals from open play when he was injured half way through the season. Is a fit Maupay better than an injured Wesley? Sure. Hindsight is wonderful. But saying that Maupay was somehow a better choice at the time is revisionist at best, and willingly dishonest at worst. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Did Wes sign 4 or 5 year deal? Think mid ranking club from Spain or Portugal would probably take him but they aren't spending anything like 10m on him, probably 2-3m. Perhaps we'll release him early and let him go back to Brazil and he can rebuild his career and life back home. He won't play for us again, that's pretty certain.

Maupay is a decent footballer. Wouldn't be a PL player otherwise. You are making him sound like Scott Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not having that those two players are " garbage " to emphasise the point lol. They are both very decent/good players IMO. Also note, I haven't been following the back and forth behind the pages . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Maupay is garbage. Works hard, but hold up play non existent, not quick, technically really poor and not a great finisher. He's as one dimensional as it gets. He's Hogan with a bit of bite and bit more self confidence. He's a rat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fussed on Maupay mind you - think we were right to pass on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
