Transfer Rumour Dwight McNeil

[TheBigIguana]

Have you even watched this lad???

Yeah he stands out wide and hammers crosses in. It's fine if that's what you want to do. But until he leaves Burnley and shows he can do something else I'm not really convinced he's got much more to offer. Honestly at this point he feels like one of those guys who ends up at fullback in time.

I understand the supposed talent that he has but I'm just someone who wants to see the signs of it in actual matches.

Good potential signing, but strange one to go for if we are short of cash and Burnley can and will over-value him.

It's harder to scout a continental equivalent, but cheaper if you can do it.

Unless it's for the likes of Townsend on a free, we are not in a position to ask Burnley to effectively name their price for one of their few cash cows.

Just for the record Southgate invited him to train with England team 2 years ago before his breakout season.

He clearly is on the radar and will get an England cap soon.

just for the record he did the same with Tom Davies.

Maybe your opinion would be higher if peps scouting of him turned into a concrete bid. Obviously he's not gonna get past foden in the ranks but pep has scouted him.

Yep when Davies was already on the training pitches with the under 18s and half the usual squad were not there.

Let's be clear ..... If it's £25m we should be all over it

Feel free to say he's not worth that if you like but he absolutely is.

Did you see what he did against Everton?

I don't know how to say this nicely but that really doesn't mean anything. Pep probably watches tons of players. Bidding or something would be different.

Yes.

Let's be clear .... He would get in the United side ahead of martial and rashford on last season's form. If he was playing for them he would be picked for England.

Perfect profile player for us.

He’s nowhere near as good as Rashford man. Or Martial. If he gets in the Man Utd team then they would be signing him.

He was around the middle of the pitch when he hit the screamer vs us so has it in his locker, would obviously need to do it more.

 

[allen]

Yes.

Then why say “he stands out wide and hammers crosses in,” or that you’ve yet to see his talent?

Because Gareth Barry scored a screamer once too but I wouldn't make him a winger in my team because of it

 

[Groucho]

Iwobi plus cash?

I mean I like McNeil but that feels a bit statement mate. What is the basis for it?
