It was an utter panic buy, we needed another striker and the only one with any Prem experience that we could get on the never never was Maupay. I dont think anyone really wanted him at the club but the thinking was that he would probably be good for 8 or 9 goals that season and then hopefully we could move him on for about what we brought him for.
I see the logic there, when you bring in someone from abroad there is no guarantee that they will be any good. Of course the bit of Logic that everyone seemed to ignore was the fact that he was unable to play in the role that we needed. I honestly thing they would have been better off bringing in some Grock for the lower divisions who could have at least held the ball up, but put a shift in, like the Straq did.
