Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I think McNeil looks a potentially very good player.

Burnley supporting mate said about McNeil; 'Potentially good but needs encouragement to take players on'.

and a yard of pace.

He's not slow but as I mentioned yesterday, he's like a clumsy Jack Grealish, he doesn't have that real close control so everything looks exaggerated and slower than it should take.

Seems like people have watched a lot of Burnley the past few seasons.

I haven't, but if lots of people had it would hardly be a surprise. There hasn't been an awful lot else for people to do. I'd personally prefer to count the number of individual hairs in my stubble rather than watch them if they weren't playing us, but other people can be idiosyncratic.

Origi for less than £30m makes sense, but not more.

Half that maybe. He is what 5th choice for 3 places.

Can't we trade-off some fringe players to Burnley as part-ex? Not sure who our modern-day Ashley Westwood and Matt Lowton are...maybe one of Taylor/Elmohammady but they were both released today.

Surprised they haven't taken Hourihane off us in last 6 months...usually the sort Dyche likes of pick up. Nakamba could do alright there aswell.

If we were spending a fortune on McNeil (or another left winger), that would suggest Grealish will be playing the 10 position. Where would that leave Buendia in the first choice team?

Similarly, if we sign Buendia, then presumably Grealish will stay on the left in the first choice team. So where would that leave McNeil?

I can't see us spending £40-50m on a squad player and I don't think Traore will be given a lesser role so I don't think we will want both McNeil and Buendia. And from what I've seen Buendia looks the much better player. I like Jack on the left too, I think it suits him better. Unless the coaching staff think that playing the 10 role will reduce the amount of running he needs to do?

I watched an 1 minute video of McNeil on Youtube yesterday but then I'm a very good judge of a player.

Personally I want Jack in the middle anyway but I've never really thought of the 'less impact on the body' angle. Interesting. No idea if it holds up but you do just presume it's more effort chasing wingers and fullbacks.

Most people here seem to be of the opinion that we need a DM enforcer. So what's the list of possibles? I'm excluding Kante, Rodri, Jorginho and a few others as they wouldn't be getable for either money reasons or the player not wanting to swap CL/Europa league football for a chance at same the year after next.
So who does that leave? What does Lange and his band of analysts have up their sleeves?
Weigl languishing at Benfica? Paredes having had his nose put out of joint at PSG? Berge relegated with the Blades? Bissouma likewise at Fulham?
Any others worth considering?

Bissouma was at Brighton last season and is still therefore a Premier League player.

We should bring in Lesley Crowther if The Price Is Right.

Come on down Lesley.

What about the big Swansea Centre back Cubango? Only 20

both of the Swansea centre backs have had good seasons.

They impressed me against Barnsley the strategy to unsettle them and rough them up simply failed and they just got stronger over the two legs.
