Re: Dwight McNeil
Hope that they were watching him yesterday at Crewe - hardly beat a man, hardly had a run down the wing and ended the game playing somewhere right side of midfield! Very poor.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Just goes to show, but for injuries and him grasping his chance, he could have been playing for Cheltenham.
People forget we tried
Hendrick, Taylor and Barnes out wide before McNeil.
He literally was the last resort, yet some will have you believe it was a masterstroke.
I seem to be in the minority that think he's just ok. I certainly cannot believe some people think he's worth 40 and 50m.

Interesting that Clyne looks like he’s going to Palace. I think Dwight will be looking forward to that game.

Aston Villa wanted £30m - £40m for Jack Grealish, who managed a paltry 6 goals in the Championship last season.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Hi MACCA,
Like us all you're fully entitled to your opinion. I agree with you that the "reported" (I don't believe these stories TBH) fees are ridiculous.
"I seem to be in the minority that think he's just ok. "
However, with all due respect, I wish all our players were "just ok" if that's what Dwight is.

Re: Dwight McNeil
The club says we don't need to sell. Lets see if they mean it. Keeping him and Tarks would be fantastic and the price of both will only continue to go up. Be sad to see Tom go, if he does, but that is an easier role to fill-particularly if he wont sign a new contract

So you're not saying he's not played wide left for s few years anymore?AndyClaret wrote:Is that the best you can do, an FA Cup game from 2 years ago when McNeil hadn't even made his debut, good grief.
I never knew there were stipulations as to when, where or who against.
I just told you he had, you said he hasn't for s few years.
Ps 2018 wasnt 2 years ago ( the clue is we're only in 2019 now ) but suppose you need something to grasp on to.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Doesn't make sense: why would Newcastle think they could poach the best youth prospect of a league rival with a lowball offer? It's not as though he's unlikely to get games. Odd movement from the Magpies, if true.

I said Taylor was tried before McNeil, that is true.
I said Hendrick was tried before McNeil, that is true.
Regardless of competition, when or how often, the fact remains what I said was correct.
You either didn't know, or forgot, and that's fine, but you can't say it didn't happen.
You can put all these stipulations in about it was x competition, it was x time, it was only x amount of times, however the fact remains it happened, just accept it.

Just a simple yes or no should suffice, on the things I've said...
Has Barnes played out wide?
Has Taylor played out wide?
Has Hendrick played out wide?
Was McNeil possibly last scenario?
Is 18 months a few years?
If it happened in the Europa league or FA cup it doesn't count?

It doesn't really have anything to do with Dwight McNeil really.
The few games that Barnes played in that position came 6 months before Dwight made his first team debut. Throwing a lad into first team action in top flight football or against a opponent like City mid-season isn't going to work out for anyone. He was brought into the fray last season and given a first team preseason, it was done in the best way for both parties. It's also worth noting that Jon Walters was on the bench at City that day, he has played on the wing for the bulk of his career. As for the Europa League, I attended the game in Athens and that was no place to hand an 18-year-old lad his first taste of action. The antics from both the crowd and opposition would of been too much for him.

As if it's not enough having all the left v right stuff on anything vaguely political (or managed to be turned political); we have a thread here about possible interest in one of our players that's turned into a squabble about whether or not Barnes ever played left wing.

But he has played left wing so no need to squabble, theres nothing to squabble about it's either true or not.
Although a squabble usually happens when one person cant admit they got it wrong. I even said ge could have forgotten, but still he couldn't accept it.
