I'm well aware of that, I used that as an example after I said ''that formula never ever works''.
You used an unproven player and compared his transfer fee to that of someone who'd been regularly playing international football, the comparison didn't make sense in that respect.
Most of us are comparing McNeil to other players in a similar position to him, whilst taking into account the length of his contract etc.
He's definitely worth more than the paltry and stupid £15 million, it's closer to £30 million as a minimum when you factor in his contract.
Part of the issue is small minded thinking by some fans who still aren't used to the club getting very good prices for players in demand.
We got very good money for Keane and even for Andre Gray we did quite well.
Mind you we have some fans on here who've valued Wood at less than what we paid for him
I agree the Mears comments were amusing.
Sancho is being chased by top clubs because he's a better player than McNeil quite simply, McNeil isn't ready to become a first team starter for Utd, Sancho is.
McNeil has to take another step first to somewhere like Everton.
