Confirmed Signing Dwight McNeil

[Toffe3m4n]

How much did we pay for him?

Reports suggesting it's a deal worth up to £20m with add-ons. Unsure of what we've paid up front.

I think he's incredibly average personally but he does have good traits. He hardly ever misses games which you would normally take as a given but in this squad of slackers it is now very important. He gives us balance being left-footed, appears to have solid and consistent delivery so will hopefully make us better at set-pieces and he's a hard grafter (again, something you used to take for granted before the rot in this squad set in).

All in all, I don't think it's a bad deal for the price reported but I am concerned about shelling out some of our precious budget on this player who I'm not sure improves us a great deal.

Right now with the options available to us, I don't see any alternative but to play DCL and Dele upfront together as we simply don't have any other goal threats. I would personally go with 4-4-2 although it's vital we bring in at least one midfielder, I'd try my hardest to get Gallagher on loan from Chelsea as is the type of all action player who could make a midfield two work.

There's potential for some decent partnerships to be formed on the flanks although we'll have to wait and see.

It's still one injury (DCL) away from guaranteed relegation.

Plays on the left doesn't he?

 

[wainy]

22 year old prospect for a reasonable fee and he actually wanted to come here. What’s not too like? Good luck lad, hope you smash it for us.

It's the way you play McNeil,

You get us up on our feet now baby, woo,

People saying it is a bad deal / price? Did everyone think the same when we paid 45m for an almost 28 year old Sigurdsson?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Welcome Dwight

Hope you do well

Some of us did, yes

But we were shouted down

 

[irishgoose]

Taking No.7?

I like it. Tells me he is not short on confidence.

 

[Daytripper]

Can’t say I’m impressed in all honesty, good luck to the lad, it’s not as if I want them to do badly, I just can’t get enthused by our business so far.

Midfield needs sorting and there is a real lack of goals up front especially when you take DCL out of the side.

Absolutely

Absolutely no end product

It’s our tried and trusted formula of signing a relegated player every year. However, I’m optimistic about Tarks and McNeil. I try not to think about MK, it brings me out in a cold sweat.
