Confirmed Signing Dwight McNeil

[Eagle Eye]

Was he mate?

Like, literally?

Yep. If you looked closely enough you could see the tip of the sting protruding through the corner of his mouth..

Some quotes from Burnley supporters

Can you imagine Man City fans must have thought coming on this forum in 2016 and seeing half the forum celebrating that we'd got Ashley Williams in for John Stones

So that would 9 more goals and the same assists and you're saying McNeil is better????

Cornet fits the Richarlison replacement mold more for me

He does. Which is why we're in for Cornet.

McNeil isn't a Richarlison replacement.

He does.

McNeil isn't a Richarlison replacement.

Which is what excites me - Gordon isn't ready for a guaranteed starting spot next season when he's blowing for tugs at 60 minutes.

I am outraged at the club spending 15M on Dwight McNeil when they could have bought him for double that last season!

I thought short term gain, long term loss. Wasn’t even close positive

Why have we signed him?

Anyone remember that cross he put in in our home game against Burnley last season? Whipped it in from deep right on the money. Fortunately the big dinner that is Chris Wood couldn't finish it.

He's a good player mate, always the best player I've seen in a very defensive side.
His stats are hardly top tier but he's 22 with a lot of scope to improve.
I'm quietly happy with this one.

He does have a wicked left foot, one that could have relegated us had Cornet not missed an absolute sitter McNeil put on a plate for him.

We should be realistic really. In reality Cornet is 5x the player that McNeil is. He scored more goals in about 25 games than McNeil has scored in his career.


If McNeil gets 3 assists and 2 goals that's a great season for him.

If only we had a predator like Lukaku in the box.

Reality is DCL 4/5 times would probably balls that chance up like Wood.

I'm sure we have a plan for McNeil involving him getting lots of crosses in and Calvert Lewin narrowly missing them.

In all seriousness though, if that combo clicks it could be deadly.

Other bonus is his defensive skills. Will offer the full back much more protection..

That's funny because I've been seeing Burnley fans delighted they got what we paid and saying he's been crap for 18 months and Cornet was much, much better.

Mate, we had fans who were happy we sold Richarlison, fans as a whole are mental. Especially, when one of their players leave the club.
