As you may know I love a good whoscored stat comparison, and can confirm Ollie Watkins is a better player overall than Maupay (statistically) . However Maupay's goal ratio is reasonably solid (10 in 30 last season). I think Watkins should at least be able to match that though.

troon_villan Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I wasn't suggesting otherwise @Kiwivillan, almost agreeing actually. My point is that why would we be struggling to pay 20m for this type of player when they go for more than this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Kosovan Journo reporting that Rashica pranged his knee in their international game tonight. Not thought to be too bad. Lad needs to be careful though if he wants to make a late move to B6 before the window shuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd tend to listen to them. They have a far greater knowledge of maupay/Watkins. Maupay have done it in the Premier League though. I just really like the player. I like that he can be an a**hole at times on the pitch. We lack a bit of nastiness. We are too soft at times.

I think he be a better pick up than Benrahma Yeah that’s true actually, I remember them saying that now and he’d come back quickly and lacked energy.

Villain-from-Texas Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 1 hour ago, troon_villan said: Here's the thing though, the type of player that Benrahma is - a tricky, creative winger - will cost you. Teams were paying £20m for these types 10 years ago. So either the figure they want is much much higher or we aren't actually that interested and/or he's our plan b, c or d. Bums off seats players will cost us 20m - 30m unless you manage to unearth a gem. I mean, do we want him or not? Not convinced we do. I think we agree?
