Confirmed Signing Dwight McNeil

[Zatara]

….he’ll become a full England international within the next 2 seasons.

Quite possibly and the 3 at the back could help with thaf being the current England setup.

Gordon and McNeil are going to be very effective.

Cornet scored 9 under the same manager playing in the opposite flank. So it’s not entirely Dyche fault that he can’t scored, it’s something else.

Of all the positions he played...he was mostly at CF.

Cornet played as a striker/front 3 player. He didnt create as he's not that type of player.

Spoke to my Burnley supporting mate who said Cornet was ‘100 times better’. And McNeil is inconsistent and anonymous too often.

Not expecting huge things tbh.

9 goals. 1 assist. Stood up top and waited for the ball. Nowhere near the amount of touches, passes, and creative play than McNeil.View attachment 175202

Cornet (like Dennis) was mainly up top. Very different to McNeil and nowhere close to as good a player.

In France hes not considered to be a 'top' player by any stretch. Average at best.

Im more inclined to believe Burnley fans who say McNeil is one of their best ever players and Cornet was found out 2nd half of the season.

Baines and especially Jags were pretty sought after if my memory serves



God I hate Sky. What the hell is a "goal involvement"?!

The lad never missed a game and was a key forward for them - so to me him being involved in only 15% is pretty poor.

That said I think this one will actually turn out to be our best transfer for manys a year...

Well, goal involvement means goals and assists.

In an ultra defensive side, where they have only scored just over 1 goal a game…for such a young player to take 15% of that total, to me is pretty decent.

And he was never a forward…more a left midfielder like Pienaar was for us….what did his stats look like??!!

I'm pretty happy about this one. Young English lad, loads of premier League matches under his belt. Can put a good cross in. DCL better stay fit.

Had worker tackles back. Hopefully him and Mykolenko can build a partnership like Blaine's and Pienarr.

 

[malfosse]

Haha only just realised we have signed him.
Welcome to Everton.
Now go out and do the business.
COYB.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

It also sounds like when we signed Bolasie, Tosun, Niasse, Klaasen, McGeady, etc etc.
Let's all hope that he is a success here..

They hadn’t been relegated , but yes, let’s wait before writing off

Pienaar average about 1 goal or assist every 3-4 games.

Nope, it means an assist or a goal.

Involvement does not mean goal or assist, goal or assist means goal or assist

Wow this is bold.

 

[ProZ]

Cant wait for the club interview bingo....

"Massive club"
"Historic"
"Manager is a legend"
"Everton fans demand hard work"

You forgot the ambition of the club after it's signing of two relegated players thus far

 

[kenada_blue]

He's looking good...

 

[kenada_blue]

Make sense. Hardworking, good ball winner, able to hold the ball without constantly worrying about outpacing fullbacks on the flanks, likes long shot, enjoys Hollywood pass, able to dribble in tight spaces around the edge of the box.

I simply can’t see that many cutting edge if we play him as a winger, good crossing and that’s about it.

Lamps has a thing for playing "between the lines" which I think will suit him.

Just think there's more to his game than adding him into the pile of wingers we have (Iwobi, Gray, Gordon, Townsend)

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Confirmed signing?

Do the business for us Dwight.

 

[moyeslovechild]

Actually have very good feelings about this

 

[Pabbers]

Involvement does not mean goal or assist, goal or assist means goal or assist

Well it was me adding up his assists and goals together and calling it goal involvements and nothing to do with sky.
