Transfer Rumour Dwight McNeil

[jamesop]

He's a solid player from the few times I've watched him and only 21, but I have a hard time seeing Burnley, a team close to relegation battle, will let him leave unless there's a ridiculous offer. 25m seems off.

Couldn't really blame him for choosing to go to Villa

Same Villa who finished below us last season?

To be fair to Burnley and Dyche I wouldn't necessarily say that they've been flirting with relegation every season over the last few seasons like. He's made them into a solid mid(ish)table team really.

 

[maccavennie]

Just looking at his league stats and he averages a goal every 14 games and an assist every 6 games.

So for 25-30m would you be happy with a winger who offers around 3 goals a season and around 6 assists ?

In comparison, Townsend is around 3 goals a season and 3 assists and Gray is around the same stats wise.

Brands casts a wide net doesn't he.

 

[Hogwild]

Time to see what Brands is made of. If we want the player we can’t let Villa take him from us. Go get it done Marcel.

that is why i would like him only in a 3 man midfield (Allan right - Gbamin or Doucoure central and Mc Neill left) not as one of the attackers.

DCL
Richarlison
James

All goalscorers and the Echo reckons we still want a back up CF to DCL who can contribute.

Potentially add in someone like Coutinho on loan then there are goals to the team - Dumfries looked like he loves getting into the box as well.

Think, if any of those 3 have any sense, they'll be off to another club....sell to buy as no one wants our deadwood.

Stats on their own mean little mate.

Would he score/assist more in Man Citys team than Burnleys?

I remember when people were fuming signing Richarlison for £50 million off the back of a good half a season.

Trajectory. Look at who they are signing, look at who we are signing.

 

[neil999]

Whenever I have seen him play he has stood out, but that might cos he plays for burnley... Give him a go

Trajectory. Look at who they are signing, look at who we are signing.

They have signed a Buendia from Norwich and are likely losing Grealish who when he was out injured they fell off a cliff.

Seriously mate if you're that depressed with it all why not take a break? Life is hard enough in the midst of a global pandemic to be crying over what a football club is doing outside of the domestic season.

True, Dyche has done well but their team is starting to age a bit. I doubt they're letting a young talent like McNeil leave without a ridiculous offer.

Over the course of a few seasons stats show what a plater is or isn't capable of.


He isn't exactly joining a far superior side than Burnley, we are midtable so does he vastly improve the team and kick Everton on into the top 5-6?

Indeed. I'd be surprised if Burnley let him go for £25m even.
