Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[sickbeggar]

If anyone pays 50m for McNeil after the last financial year, then I reckon Burnley will throw a party.

[Des Little]

You could buy the whole of Burnley for £50M, and still have change for a Holland’s pie

[danno]

Tammy is a bargain at £40 million, if these McNeil reports are accurate.

[mr underhill]

You could buy the whole of Burnley for £50m.

[Mister E]

Most of the stories I can find linking us to McNeil are talking £40-50m. He's an ok player but breaking our transfer record to that degree and landing a winger with 7 goals goals in nearly 100 league games would be disappointing. For that money we really should be looking for someone who comes in as one of the best players in the team, not someone that I wouldn't see as an automatic starter.

I've not really seen what it is that makes McNeil a £40m player; £20m, maybe.

[Toronto Villa]

What does £20m get you in the PL now? Not much, and he’s better than players in the not much shop.

This is why I can't see it. £20m is no use to Burnley, and we surely wouldn't pay £40m.

I couldn’t. I haven’t got £50m.

[olaftab]

Everton have been paying stupid money for the last few transfer windows so I wouldn’t be surprised if they bid £5.

Have they been bought by the ghost of Doug?

Why do zeros go missing when you need them most?

[pauliewalnuts]

Apparently Villa, Leicester, Everton and Wolves are all after Dwight McNeil and the fee could be as much as fifty million. Personally I doubt any of those clubs are in the market for fifty million pound players this summer.

He's not Portuguese, which rules out Wolves.

He's massively overpriced and underwhelming, which points to Everton.

I wonder what will happen with Maddison this summer.

[VILLA MOLE]

i don’t believe we will go after established premiership players  at that price

[Toronto Villa]

In the current climate he’s a £25-30m player tops. And that’s with the “he’s British innit tax”. He has the potential to offer a lot more. The question is will Burnley sell for that. Any club going to £40m plus would be bonkers.

[PaulWinch again]

I think McNeil looks a potentially very good player.

[LukeJames]

He looks alright, no better than what we already have out wide though. If we're paying that kind of money I'd want a big upgrade on El-Ghazi/Traore

[Steve67]

He’s a talent but if we stick to our usual purchasing criteria then we would be paying over the odds for a player who’s not quite cooked yet, as opposed to a finished article who we have a resale value on. Therefore, the quoted fee of 50 mill must be utter shite?  25 mill maybe.
