At least he's not going around punching his missus and teenage girls like one of your ex centre forwards, or punching horses like your fans.

It's weird because Mcneil and Maupay feel like squad players but when you bring nobody else in it leaves you badly exposed. I presumed Mcneil was brought in because we couldn't afford Cornet bad reason to buy a player it's weird he has regressed a few years ago he looked a pretty good player at least he's 22 we can sell him on if it doesn't work. What I do question is why we don't ever look at other leagues for players? Yes it's a risk but the reward is greater. Moffi and a winger from the French league would have been preferable to premier league averageness. I knew we were short when the window shut but the inability of FL to set up the team and the predictable Dominic Calvert-Lewin injuries mean we are bereft going forward. For me we need three players in this next window and try and boot out some of the dross like Keane, Davies, Rondon et Al. We need a creative midfielder a wide forward and a striker who can play as a number nine. Two loans and a buy.

Have you seen Cornet or Dennis play (or even their stats) this season?

Or any other season ignoring 2-3 months of purple patch last year?

So many posted wanted to sign those two in the summer and they would have been even worse signings than McNeil and Maupay.

We should get our money back on the two we signed.

What makes you think we’ll get anywhere near our money back? Seriously, who is going to buy those two? It’s like when you said we could get £100m for Keane, Mina, Gomes, Davies, Doucoure and Allan, absolute delusion. They’ll be loaned out til the end of their contracts in true Everton style.

2 experienced premier league players who can fit other clubs systems better.

Look at Michael Keane being linked to West Ham...other clubs like Forest / Geordies making weird signings.

There’s being linked and then there’s the transfer actually happening, Keane will not be joining West Ham on anything other than a loan. Nobody will be touching Dwight McNeil I can guarantee you that.

I imagine that somewhere there is a four legged creature that remains unpunched. Perhaps your time could be spent elsewhere rectifying that situation?

They were more the profile in that they have pace and threat something we lack. Yes at least Mcneil is 22 but we aren't getting much from Maupay and he wasn't what we needed. Anyway my main point is we need to look beyond "EPL proven" and to other leagues or the Championship we need hunger.

More Onanas and Garners
 
The inability or lack awareness to find a suitable richarlison replacement was criminal. Also hes been mediocre since hes arrived I don't think maupay is a bad player he's not an outright striker who can play on his own which makes it odd they chose him as a backup striker. The Gana was daft too, bringing back a player you sold 4 years ago because you lack any control in midfield doesn't look reflect well on recruitment. Coady and tarks solid, I think garner will be quality eventually but neglecting the attacking side of our was a major blunder especially when we've been shedding creative players for the last couple seasons. At least with Scandinavian roman Polanski he offered some clever moments it wasn't enough but we don't have anyone beyond iwobi creating anything

There is no way we're getting our money back on McNeil Zat, he's an atrocious footballer. That Burnley board must have been pissing themselves with laughter when we handed over what we did for him.

I have the sneaking suspicion most of the fee was to stop their pursuit of a lawsuit against us at the end of last season. The fee doesn't make sense otherwise.
