Bainesy's Left Peg
Player Valuation: £1m
One (somewhat thin) line on Townsend is that he 100% puts a shift in, feel like that’s something we’ve lacked in recent times
10th. If we're lucky.I think it's pretty clear that we're going to look to just bomb balls at DCL's head. And while I do see the wisdom in that I also question a little bit exactly how far that can carry us. But hey, at least it's a plan! That's something!
We went backwards with Allan and Rodriguez though.From James Rodriguez and Allan to Townsend and Gray. Talking about going backwards.
People will complain that he isn't giving enough when he's just playing bad still thoughOne (somewhat thin) line on Townsend is that he 100% puts a shift in, feel like that’s something we’ve lacked in recent times
The problems when both startGoing to be funny when we all fine that Townsend starts over Iwobi. Embarrassing this.
When you divide by minutes played McNeil's advantage disappearsJust posted in the Mcneill thread, Townsend and Gray on average in the league score around 3 goals a season and around 3 assists a season.
Mcneiil scores around 3 goals a season and averages around 6 assists a season
He's playing in a very poor team and is only 21. I've seen him play a lot, he's a good player. I'm not sure he's what we need but he's a good player.When you divide by minutes played McNeil's advantage disappears

I agree. Just pointing out that comparatively these are all about the same level. McNeil just plays every week.tbf mate I wouldn't even say 6 assists a season is a ringing endorsement to sign someone.
Would be nice to find a winger who chips in with 8-9 goals and similar assists
Suppose the big difference is that McNeill is a 21 year old playing for Burnley. Gotta imagine, given what we've see so far from him in the Prem, the ceiling is high.Just posted in the Mcneill thread, Townsend and Gray on average in the league score around 3 goals a season and around 3 assists a season.
