SUPERTOON Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Just now, KaKa said: Man, I am going to back Howe's judgement with whoever he brings in. Think a lot of you are setting yourselves up to be disappointed, if you think we are now above signing the likes of McNeil as a young backup option. I think if we manage to move on the likes of Almiron and Murphy we will look at bringing in a back up player in that position along with the first teamers we are already looking at there. Going to be an interesting summer. I think you may be disappointed if you think we would spend big on McNeil to be back up, we haven’t got a squad for that to be the case.

Who said anything about spending big? They've just been relegated. Besides as I said he's one I would only see coming in if we move on the likes of Almiron and Murphy, who are the current backups.

They will want at least 20 million for him, young English tax and all that. My point is we aren’t in a position where we will spend that on a backup player, and if he signs I think it would be as a starter and for me he isn’t the answer.

Avoid them at all costs. 7 hours ago, xLiaaamx said: Aye. Imagine looking at Hendrick and Wood and thinking "I'm sure 38 games 0 goals Dwight McNeil will work out this time!" Get as far away from Burnley players as we can. McNeil has worse numbers than the players we're trying to move on. This is an incredibly simple way of analysing a player because he happens to have played in the same team man. My goodness But you're entitled to view it this way I guess. I'm looking forward to him moving to another club, and seeing what happens. Edited June 17, 2022 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergenMagpie Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Wouldnt mind Cornet. Been impressed with him every time Ive seen Burnley this season and he looked even better in France. Sounds like he has a release clause at 17.5m so its a low risk signing. They should probably include an IQ test for his potential medical though considering the unveiling picture where he was pointing on the Umbro logo + the rumour(?) that he thought he was only loaned out to Burnley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 My preference is to avoid those players from teams who got relegated. I’d hope we are shopping at better places rather than being bottom feeders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything we can get them on a cheap deal if they have relegation clauses. Sarr at Watford looks very handy for a right wing/forward. Main thing is players doing well, on the up as an individual and having the right attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphinha and Phillips would be excellent signings on that basis. Dwight McNeil is nowhere near that level. Ward-Prowse is more like a top 10 level player, ditto Pope. Think we need to calm down. Phillips is likely going to Man City and Raphinha could be going to Spurs. We just aren’t at that level yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) We can be ambitious without challenging for top 6 next season. Top 10 is a worthy (and realistic) goal. Edited June 17, 2022 by Tomato Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even the end of June the bulldozers have moved into the training ground, we have a director of football, signed a left back for 15 million and 2 promising youngsters.

Unbelievable how impatient and thick some of our supporters are. Regardless of our, ultimate, owner's morality etc etc you've got to admire the way the 3 front of house conduct themselves. Ok Jamie's a tory cunt and shouldn't be anywhere near a foodbank for plaudits but other than that seems happily legit. Amanda is just a dream. You get the sense she's just utterly and emotionally tied into the club. Then there's Mehrdad bothering his arse replying to balloons on twitter. Daft cunts tagging them into spurious twitter threads and/or asking ridiculous questions. No better than Exile, some of them.

We would absolutely would be signing him as a starter, think it’s clear we are working very hard to stretch the budget as much as possible due to FFP. He would cost minimum 20 million, we aren’t in a position to spend this on him then more on a another winger to start and then more on a striker.

We just aren’t at that level yet Phillips was supposedly very interested in joining before Man City got involved so it isn’t that mad to suggest him. Maybe we aren’t at a level to attract Raphinia yet, but that doesn’t mean the next best level we can target is the likes of McNeil either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
