It's difficult enough to get good value from even Championship clubs these days. I'd imagine trying to take any Premier League teams top players to he doubly as difficult and expensive. Personally, I think much better value can be had as well. I have never heard anyone from the club say they will largely be looking for bargains via the scouting setup. Nothing they have done in the transfer market suggests this is the narrative either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 McNeil is an interesting one really, no doubt got talent and still very young. He’s shown what he can do in a very defensive set up under Dyche at Burnley. Maybe our scouts think he would perform even better in a more attack minded team? For me, this is about the fee. We could easily over pay for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think McNeil is v decent. Not his best season but him and Bunedia would be quality. Suspect it won't be both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely control even when the ball is seemingly outside of his sphere of influence, which is great for a quick counter punch team like us. I'm aware that it's a youtube highlight reel, but if that is the player we would get week in and week out, i'm very much on board. Looks like he operates in the centre quite a bit. maybe we could get some cross over between him and Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 He's a decent crosser of the ball and gives us a more direct down the line type option. I think we'd get a few goals from crosses coming in at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Admittedly I don't watch many Burnley games and when I do it's against top teams where they are pretty much trying to survive. But can honestly say I don't remember noticing him much if at all. I recognize the name of course and it might be the way they play that is why I don't notice him much. He's supposedly good with the cross, left footed and plays on the left for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing they have done in the transfer market suggests this is the narrative either. I mean, the majority of our signings are either players undervalued at their old clubs or came from outside the top 5 leagues. If that's not mainly looking for bargains, then I don't know what is.

Knutserov13 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I always thought he stood out when we played against Burnley. I'm all for it. Would probably have to pay up to 30 m for him. I think it'll be worth it. Hewould thrive at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I would jizz my pants if we signed McNeil - really, really rate him ever since he tore us up last season at Villa Park. Anybody who impresses in Dyche's system has to be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me like we're really pushing the academy to be our source of 'bargains' vs. taking a punt on someone from Ligue 2 (Kante, Mahrez) for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) As we are ascending season on season....players with consistency will be the requirement, to push on. The odd you tube compilation, can be misleading.....I have no idea, if Dwight is Consistent, but if he is anything like his namesake, he will be ok. Most players we will be looking at, will have undoubted talent, you only have to look at Traore, who can have moments of pure magic, but consistency is what eludes him....He can score worldies and skin a rabbit, with his sublime skills....but can he do it on a regular basis? I have no idea, who we will end up with, I just hope they are not Hit and Miss.....More like Emi and Ollie and I will be pleased, their consistency is what we want.

The_Steve Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 McNeil, Buendia, Rashica would give us big rotation/quality options. I don't see why we couldn't integrate all three or two of those names given the injuries to Jack and Trez last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
