Ed1 what's our thoughts for dwight mcneil of burnley would he be a good option for us for midfield and as a cover for robo cuz our fb already play like wingers i think he has one of the best delivery after trent and de bruyne
And can you do a player profile for him.

{Ed001's Note - added him to the list but I wouldn't look at him personally. Not unless he could show defensive ability he has never shown before. He is certainly not good enough as a winger, no skill, just a decent delivery and good striking technique.}

Would be like signing Stewart Downing all over again.

Ed, I watched an interview where John Walters (formerly at Stoke and later at Burnley) said that Dwight McNiel is actually a CM, not a wide player. Could that be why he is not that good out wide in your opinion?

{Ed001's Note - Trent was a CM but he does alright in wide areas. McNeil just isn't that special. He is decent but that is all. He could be a useful player, but he is not going to be someone who does any more than act as cover imo.}

Thanks for the reply, Ed. I fully agree that McNeil would not be anything more than cover due to his limited ability. Let's face it as well, you really can't improve ability-wise, playing under a dinosaur like the forever-whining-moaning-bitching Sean Dyche.

{Ed001's Note - I don't think Dyche is that bad, he doesn't have much choice but to play the way he does with the players he has.}

ed001 I think Dyche does a great job with the resources he has had a bit of trouble at the start of last season because of Europe. But I never look forward to playing them unlike Bournemouth and everybody raves about eddie howe and he spends a lot more money.

{Ed001's Note - Howe has no idea how to organise a defence, he has been getting away with it for a while, but this season it is catching up to him.}

I think Dyche would be a great shout for the Everton Job and he deserves the chance to manage the next level up.
