Re: Dwight McNeil
Moyes won't let him go unless he gets others in. For those younger than me, can you explain why we don't play Grealish in the 10, keep the Stork on the left and use Ndiaye or Dibbling right. Obviously if McNeil goes, Ndiaye goes back on the left. Can't see how Moyes doesn't see Grealish as way more effective central. Thanks in advance
Re: Dwight McNeil
I was calling for it earlier in the season too... Not sure how well he can press though, certainly would give us a lot more in the 10 imo from an offensive perspective though as defenders wouldn't be able to double up on him constantly.Paddockoldie wrote: ↑Mon Dec 22, 2025 3:20 pm Moyes won't let him go unless he gets others in.

Re: Dwight McNeil
That's my thinking. He's a class act, but wide left with 2 defenders on him, with no players running for him, he's predictable now. In the middle, he can go left, right or thread through balls for our striker. Barry isn't a trad CF who loves heading it. He needs balls in front so he can use his feet to effect.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Rumours of Dyche wanting to take him to Forest which Moyes addresed in his press conference. We've got to take that deal if it happens to be the case, regardless of the lack of options we have at the moment.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Squad player. But we can’t let him go until we have a replacement signed up - our squad is too small

Re: Dwight McNeil
Think hes worth at least that. You dont get a good championship player for that. Certainly wouldn't take less
Re: Dwight McNeil
I really doubt anyone would pay more tbh, I was originally thinking £20m given his age and goal involvements for us before this season... But I think given his form this year and lack of pace there's very few teams would be interested and so valuation would be fairly low.777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Thu Dec 25, 2025 4:11 pm Think hes worth at least that.

I've got a soft spot for Dwight because I do feel he's done well for us and had some really key goal involvements, but he seems levels below his best this year and it's hard to believe he's got the ability to get back to those previously shown.
