Transfer Rumour Dwight McNeil

[bcblue1878]

£10m was the deal talked about with Burnley, it was too much for Burnley hence why we loaned him to Celtic. By all accounts they might still be keen so offering him and cash for McNeill would be good for all parties

If Burnley are daft enough to “pay” £10m for JJK we should snatch their hands off immediately , and I suspect there’d be a queue of people on here offering to drive him there themselves!

I'd get the boat over and drive him

Always been impressed with him and said we should sign him. However, now we are linked with him I think he’s too slow.

Comments on a message board don’t effect a player’s value in the market. The RS may get an RS premium, but they aren’t able to sell players that struggle at Celtic to PL clubs.

Time will tell, but I don’t see JJK getting a contract at a premier league club. If he does, I don’t see him succeeding at prem level. This is just based on my opinion of JJK as a football player.

I’d be happy to be proven wrong as it would probably mean a good deal for Everton, and I’d like to see JJK have a good footballing career.

Brewster - 13 goals in 4 seasons at U23 level, 11 at Swansea somehow got him valued at £20-25m at Sheffield United where he couldn’t hit a barnyard door

Solanke - 1 senior goal got him a £20m move to Bournemouth, only started to come good last season

I'm a bit confused by so many people saying he's slow. Granted he's not rapid but I'd wager he's quicker than most of our squad, he's skillful and has a great left foot.

Ever since people started thinking video games were realistic we’ve had people on here thinking pace is everything because it makes it easy to play FIFA.
Load of people saying we need to get rid of James because he hasn’t got any pace too!
Dread to think how many would’ve turned their nose up at Grealish or David Silva or Ibrahmovic or Cavani (in fact I remember people genuinely turning their nose up at this one last summer when we were linked) or John Terry or Modric or Schweinsteiger or Puyol or Pirlo or Kante or Figo or Kevin Sheedy.
If you’re good enough you don’t have to be rapid, please stop this narrative.

He's a good little player. But McNeil, Townsend, Gray and Iwobi as wingers is absolutely mid-table.

At best.

What about Richarlison, James, McNeil with Townsend, Gray and Iwobi as back up?
We’re also lower mid table if we take Digne, Godfrey and Pickford out of our defence lol

 

[Nymzee]

If Richarlison could play RW then it'd be a nice front 3 (with zero depth) but he can't so it's a pointless signing.

We were mid table with all those players last season.

James is going. Richi will miss the start of the season. We were 10th with the others anyway - of course we look like a mid table team.

Lol very good but I did say lower mid table and one of our biggest problems last season was having no cover or option off the bench on the wings

Has Richy gone as well?

 

[Efcjake]

This is a very stupid deal for us to make.

He will not be going for less than 30 from Burnley. We shouldn't pay that at all.

Hes alright but spending 30 million on "alright" or "potential" is how you end up with players like Kean and Iwobi that nobody wants to give us a return on.

 

[davids]

Think he'll choose us over Villa if we can afford him considering he only lives down the road and can stay around family etc.

Probably knows he'll land more balls onto DCL's ed than Watkins.

Lives down the road. Make him sound like our new manager. lol
