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
