Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Noisy noise annoys]

Can't see us coughing up for him to be honest.

So good

Fellows and mcneil are wingers for a start. Ndiaye plays left wing and plenty of clips of mcatee down the right wing as well.
If you have the iverlapping full backs, our wide men arent very wide anyway. Ndiaye often plays several yards in from the wing.

Its me, generally wondering about money, potential and numbers that we need to get in.

Personally id like that Chris Rigg out wide but hed cost around 30 million

We need to move away from McNeil. If Moyes could convert him to a left back or maybe a deep lying inside midfielder then maybe but as a winger he’s just far too slow.

He’s good at what we bought him for, a solid player who will work defensively and deliver enough good set pieces to keep a team up.

He’s not good enough to spearhead a team’s attack that wants European football.

I'm not convinced that Moyes is 100% on McNeil tbh, mainly for many of the reasons you have listed above. He has only ever put him on the right so far (not his preferred side) If an offer came in for him it wouldn't surprise me if we take it tbh, like you said if we really want to climb the table then he just doesn't offer enough.

….remember him covering for part of a game at LB and he might as well have been sitting in the stand with me. It didn’t last very long. Sheedy was slower than McNeil.

Different era.

Pace required in the modern game, problem with McNeil he as a sweet left leg and that’s it.

Nothing wrong with McNeil, other areas need addressing before him.

Depends on fee and wages, I doubt TFG /Kinnear agree to a big fee and wages on a 3yr deal for a 30yr old

i await to be wrong

 

[Blue Alert]

McNeil is one of our best players. Is it just because of that left foot? Yes. But for now that’s enough. That’s the situation. If you think he needs to be moved on this summer, then your expectations need addressing.

The team evolves by keeping its best players and jettisoning its worst. For now, Dwight is one of our best. In a few years I hope he won’t be. But for now he’s as solid a keep as anyone.

 

[matty1878]

Some reports saying he's not keen on leaving London matty

he’s signing mate i have huge huge inkling

 

[matty1878]

You know what, if he was fit, on an ok wage, and playing every week in his best position, he’d be an asset no doubt as I think he’d be motivated to get back in the England team.

I just can’t see us shelling out for his wages or him wanting to come here. Got Villa or Spurs written all over him.

this

 

[ForeverEverton]

He's in bloody Dusseldorf there ha!

He's fluttering his eyelashes at Moyesy there.

But he is still officially on loan at Everton with his wages being paid as per the loan agreement...

 

[IrishBlue2022]

he’s signing mate i have huge huge boner

Sake Matty, calm down.

Issue is and I don’t think he’s one of our best players he’s a average prem player, mid table at best, the longer we keep these players and keep buying similar, the longer it will take us to challenge. Also his best position is on the left, and he’s 2nd choice behind Ndiaye, yes he’s a decent back up for now, but we can’t have him on the right, we need a lot better. I’d happily sell him , but maybe that’s next summer
