A very good article on Dwight McNeil.

Yes a fair assessment of both McNeil and his club, he looked the real deal on Saturday, no telling where his career might end up.

True and fair.

Dwight could be an outsider for a Euros place. His corner and crossing ability is stand out.

Talking about corner kicks have we ever had 2 better corner takers playing at the same time than Dwight McNeil and Ashley Westwood?

I hope not though. We want to keep him as long as possible but if he went to the Euros and had a fair tournament we wouldn't stand a chance of keeping him. The longer our players stay under the radar the better. It would be great for him but I'm thinking along the 'selfish' lines.

Dave Thomas could whip 'em in a bit.

For sure, we need to keep him. The national manager often takes a young 'different' player, both with a view to the future and for particular qualities.

Dwight is an example of a good candidate.
