McNeil is a strange link.
Makes sense if the plan is to put in balls to DCL.
Doesnt make sense as were crying out for pace.
If hes on the left in front of Digne we could put alot of balls in from there, but thinking about it i wonder if Digne would be able to overlap with a left footer...
If he was played on the right in front of Aarons then we'd have the pace and McNeil could cut inside on his left as James does.
If we got both and it 'clicked' then were sorted on the right for a long long time.
Very, very wind.
Spot on
I like McNeill maybe not as much as the club and I’m not sure we’re good at developing young players like him. Personally id have a limit on how far Id would go bid wise and be lower I’d expect to what Burnley would like.
The perfect player for us would be Harvey Barnes, but we’re not getting him, super player. Funny his emergence more then likely ended Grays career at Leicester.
Elsewise for the profile your talking and maybe a cutting your cloth deal could be a loan for Dan James, he’s a fair bit down the pecking at Utd and someone we know we had a strong interest in before. Doesn’t strike me as a player you’d expect to see in a functional Benitez system though.
