Confirmed Signing Dwight McNeil

Sick of this “1 assist” shout. That stat is reliant on another person to finish the job. He created 47 chances for his team mates last year, 42 were open play crosses.

Let’s flip the narrative and say his attackers failed to convert his attacking play on 46 occasions (98% of the time).

Remember Townsend’s goal against Burnley? Well Doucoure got an assist for that by passing the ball 2 yards just outside of the centre circle. The assists stat is truly pointless.

His goals stat also doesn’t concern me. It goes back to my point about his attacking options; he had none. When he came inside there were no runners breaking the lines, his only option was to shoot from distance. His average shot distance for last season was around 21yds because of this.

I don’t think he’ll have any problem being a productive player for us. Let’s give him a chance at least.
 

Smacks a bit of desperation to me ... "we'd better announce someone this week... or better still, two or three... that'll get em' off our backs."

Can't say he's a player I really noticed last year but he's here now and can only wish him well. Let's hope he's not getting relegated again.

I dont think there is any disputing he never had a good season last year. But thats also possibly a reason we've got him. I've no issue with that. The potential in the player before that is what we have hopefully tapped into. New club. New manager encouraging him to express himself.
This is much more where i'd like to see Everton going in the transfer market.

I doubt the club care about 20 fans doing laps around the ground with their bedsheets.
 

Let's see how he gets on. At least he's young and I liked his interview. He seems to enjoy playing football and he wants to improve which is important. You have to give a player a clean slate and shelve any preconceptions. Welcome to Everton Football Club.
