2022/23 Dwight McNeil

[grandjoeblue]

People are being a bit harsh. He's scored 2 already and based on his previous seasons that's already a brilliant season for him.

He was never going to be brilliant but if he scores another goal or two it's his best ever season.

Do something today you useless kumquat

 

[4737carlin]

Good to see him start

Patience.

Like your sense of humour.

 

[nsno-chris]

Patience.

I’ve seen him play in various games over the last 3 years and never once have I ever been impressed with him.

He’s slow, weak, doesn’t impose himself and is easily forced off the ball

He’s an English Gylfi Siggurdson with less goal scoring output

 

[navidson]

He'll be the signing that will eventually get Lampard sacked

Which is, in a nutshell the problem.

If Lampard gets the axe it wont be because a bang average player from Burnley continues to be bang average for us. It'll be because -yet again- some turnip has failed to hit the target from five foot out, a-la Gray clearing the roof v Spurs or Davies hitting an aeroplane v Bournemouth or DCL hitting the keeper v Leics etc etc.

Yes it's clear our wingers aren't good enough. Gray is the only one who is premier league quality on a fairly regular basis. Gordon is shocking and is having a dreadful season and McNeil is never going to do a lot.

I dont see it with Gray at all. He has 1 league goal this year I think. Gordon has 7.

The summer transfer window had to be absolute perfect for us because of the glaring deficiencies in the squad - paired with being hamstrung with finances

Most of the signings made sense. The Dwight McNeil transfer makes absolutely zero sense - and should not have been endorsed by anybody at the club.

Angry, frustrated fans will continue to flag up this particular transfer - because it looks like a Richarlison replacement and we've bought completely the wrong player to accomplish that role

If you're counting in two's you are almost correct.

I don't disagree, but we have a DOF whose job is to do the transfers. McNeil was brought in because he was availble for a small upfront fee, whereas Cornet wasn't. Maybe it was FL's call to do it, maybe it was KT's. Bit unfair to lump the summer business solely at FL's door.

I completely agree - and I'm certainly not squaring the blame directly at Frank

We all know who takes the bullet though
