Re: What price Dwight ?
Exactly, £30m wouldn't get us two first team starters, and probably wouldn't get us a player as good as McNeil whose wages we could afford.cricketfieldclarets wrote:Gibson and Vydra.

Re: What price Dwight ?
Seeing that also United are interested. They paid £60m for Fred, that seems like a good place to start the bidding.

He won't be under 24 when his contract runs out (assuming we take up the 12 month option in 2023).cricketfieldclarets wrote:Not under 24 he won’t

Re: What price Dwight ?
Not sure Dwight will want to stay long term unless we help him out by signing some better footballers. Must be pretty frustrating for him at times.

Re: What price Dwight ?
Talented but young and inexperienced,can beat a man but not lightning quick by any means , this far he’s not exactly set the world alight . His new agent is securing his asset value and he’s probs a solid 30m at today’s nonsensical values

Something and nothing if I recall,Dixon did go for nowt though,I wonder what kind of carreer he had when Bond give him away?what ever we got for Laws it was poor business as they were to excellent full backs.Hapag Lloyd wrote:We got a fee for Laws.

Astronomical fee required for McNeil, he carries us going forward we literally have nothing else other than a hoof without him.

Burnley fans always love to sell a player.

Tbf to Dixon, he wasn't a success for other clubs after he left us, before he finally joined Arsenal and became a great right back for them.Steve1956 wrote:It might be a bit longer than 20 years,but Dixon & Laws went for nowt I think I always thought that was a terrible piece of business

Did Bond get rid of both fullbacks together? Out of interest does anyone remember who he replaced them with?Spijed wrote:Tbf to Dixon, he wasn't a success for other clubs after he left us, before he finally joined Arsenal and became a great right back for them.

But that will mean we will have had a so called 50m player for 4 years. Id take that.Tall Paul wrote:He won't be under 24 when his contract runs out (assuming we take up the 12 month option in 2023).

Claims that United are interested in him in the tabloids today.

Re: What price Dwight ?
With the current situation with our midfield there should be no sale at any price, without strengthening in that section. The strengthening should be in quality not numbers. If our last transfer windows are anything to go by the powers that be we will fail to improve our midfield and still sell McNeil especially if an offer exceeding £25M is made.
Re: What price Dwight ?
If we were to sell McNeil we'd likely end up replacing him with yet another steady, do a job type of player. As our only shred of creativity I'd say he's priceless to us at the moment.

Agreed! McNeil is priceless to us. If United want him back then prepare to go full Pogba on him.

Re: What price Dwight ?
Worth more to us than anybody would offer at the moment.
If he keeps improving through this season, he may get to the sort of purchase price that we could be tempted by but quite a bit of water to pass under the bridge until then.
