Loads on here, apparently. Seems they're content with some crap 'backup' as our only addition to the striker department. Never mind remembering we're just lost our best player who happens to be our best attacker too, let's just get in somebody who is not at all good enough to start games for us and hope DCL can remain fit for 90 minutes of every single game this season, and that our assist-shy midfielders can turn in the seasons of their lives as well!
A lot of reading between the lines going on there, mate.
With DCL’s injury problems, a “backup” isn’t the Rondon-esque benchwarmer you seem to assume most people are after, but someone who could well split playing time with Dom in the region of 50/50 and be expected to weigh in with a significant number of goals.
McNeil looks like he’s earmarked to play the mirror image of Richy, cutting inside onto his stronger foot (remember Richy’s debut vs Wolves?!) so we may find his output a pleasant surprise just as we did when we signed Richy on the back of a 5-goal season where he didn’t bag at all post-Christmas.
