A great assist vs us last season and 2 of his goals are from him cutting in off the right. Let's hope so. But let's also not write him off too soon either, just in case. We might be in for a pleasant surprise.
SecretPro Posted 10 September 2020 Posted 10 September 2020 I think people need to get a grip. We will be playing games every 4 days, with multiple different formations depending on the games and competition. We should have 2 good quality players for every position. It's logical to sign someone like McNeil as an alternative to Barnes. He's only 20, he's done pretty well in a poor footballing side. Sure he's not AMAZING, he doesn't have a foreign name and the price looks high but in reality that's the going rate for a player like McNeil. This is a sensible signing for improving squad depth and an actually useful bench for a change. We will still be looking for an out-and-out right winger. Chill. 2
Ric Flair Posted 10 September 2020 Posted 10 September 2020 I'm suspicious that if Burnley want £50m for a soon to 28 year old centre half with less than 2 years left on his deal, what on earth have we agreed to pay for a 20 year old winger who recently signed a new 5 year deal with them? This is going to sting. 1

Scotch Posted 10 September 2020 Posted 10 September 2020 I find it interesting that when we are linked to a player who is generally not liked by the fans of his current team, folk on here put a large amount of significance in it. HOWEVER... When we are linked to a player who's current fans rate highly, it doesn't mean a thing to those exact same people. It's almost as if people will bend and contort information to fit their opinion rather than use the information to form a more informed opinion.
Deeg67 Posted 10 September 2020 Posted 10 September 2020 The same experts assuring the board McNeil can't play on the right are the ones who said Castagne can't play on the left.

I absolutely would not disagree with any of this af all if I had faith we were going to make multiple decent signings. I'll be absolutely stunned if we do. Please don't be particularly offended that I don't exactly trust your confidence that we are because of whatever source you allegedly may have. 1

I'm not offended - I think if this was the 'be all and end all signing' I'd be a bit deflated to. But I think/hope there is more to come. 1

The_77 Posted 10 September 2020 Posted 10 September 2020 Just now, Finnegan said: He's literally only just recovered and played a handful of games without match fitness!?!?!? Easy with those punctuation marks. He played in 9 matches last season, starting six of them, since coming back.

They are not going to keep Perez, Barnes, Albrighton, McNeil, Gray and another happy. Gray could go I'll grant you but they are highly unlikely to be chucking £30m+ at McNeil to rotate with Barnes. As for the player himself, he is one of the leading left footers in the PL for key passes and general creativity, his output would surely improve in a more attacking style. Burnley scored 43 last season and he was directly involved in 8 of those - if you extrapolate that to our 67 scored he'd be involved in roughly 12 goals which is more than Perez got.
