This thread has got very weird
It’s hard to think of 2 players less similar than McNeil and Sissoko.....
....it’s up there with comparing Ronnie Jepson and Lionel Messi - as any Burnley fan would know that you would choose Jeppo every time to close out a game.

Not really, I'm at work, so this can carry on without my input.
I've made my point and I'm done for now.

we might as well keep him this season then Man Utd can re-sign another one of their players they let go for nothing for 100 million !!

Can’t be that rare, we’ve got three of them!

Maybe that's why they're rare.

I was meaning genuine top class. Apart from Ryan Giggs I can't think of any other British one's in the last 20 years or so, probably back to John Barnes.

You missed a bit.

And some say Dwight McNeil will struggle because he can't use his right foot!

Giggs rarely did and it didn't really affect his career.

Chris Waddle
Tbf there seems to less out and out quality left wingers across all the big football nations...especially with the way many teams now set up with overlapping full backs etc...it’s much easier to list the world class left backs in the last 20 years than left wingers.

I love watching a good left winger though - they just seem to have better balance and more natural technique. It’s one of the best things about watching Dwight McNeil play - when he’s in full flow it’s great to see.

Very true. Very elegant are left wingers/footers. Right wingers look like they’re running down a 3 mile wide tight rope with doc martins, whereas left wingers a 3mm wide tight rope with ballerina shoes.

Pires was a joy to watch. Both footed If I remember correctly.

If a gash Southampton left back is £17m with add ons, whatever must Dwight be worth, when he skins England full backs for fun?

Although Peter Barnes furrowed his left wing brow over 20 years ago, his playing career on wiki is worth a read. Redefines the term 'journeyman'

Just before they signed Clarke and loaning him back to Leeds. I wonder if they suggested the same thing for us but we turned them down.

PL rules stop clubs signing players then loaning them to another PL club within the same window.
