I don’t see Burnley paying that. 

A googling shows he was in something like 5700 there and tied for being their lowest paid player. Probably just whatever his initial contract was. This move will make him 10x on his last wages at least so I’d expect him to be quite the happy fella on arrival.

Welcome to Everton

I’m quite pleased the type of player we are signing. 
I can see us playing some lovely football next season 

I’ll probably get lambasted for saying that but it’s just my opinion

I'm pretty optimistic about him myself. Remains to be seen of course.

His last PL goal came against us so at least his next one can't come against us.

I've just jinxed him to score an own goal on his debut now, haven't I? Sorry.

Or he scores against us for his next team after skying sitters for 3 years

You add McNeil to the likes of Patterson, Gordon, Godfrey and Mykolenko (20-24) and even alongside Holgate, DCL, Alli, Grey, Iwobi (25-26) - average age of our squad is beginning to come right down. 

You add defensive midfielder to this lot and we could put out a very reasonable team of outfield players 26 or younger. 

OK, first game of the season you would swap out one or two for more senior players, However, this is a squad you can develop and build on over the next 2-3 years.

Very happy with this signing, really excited to see what he can do.

[Palfy]

Hate signings that are just to make the numbers up and this is one of those, he’s no better than what we have so can’t see how he is going to improve the team.

It looks like he’s keeping his nose out of transfers and let’s hope it stays that way.

To late now mate his past 6 years of indiscipline and fuck ups have led us to where we are now, where Vinagre and McNeil are the best we can afford.  Real game changing accusations.

"McNeil was second in the Premier League for the most successful dribbles (90) last season and third in the list for the most crosses (199)"

Let's hope the quality is there and DCL will be happy.

[Matt]

All means shit if the coach tells them to play the ball rather than cross it.

There are some surprisingly good names in that list!

I just did the you tube high lights real thing. To be fair to the lad his assist where low last year due to absolutely horrendous finishing on Burnley's part. A lot would have been easier to score than miss, but they managed miss.

I remember him coming on late in a game, might have been against Norwich but dont quote me on that, and he played two great balls, one of which should have been a tap in assist for Cornet but he missed!

A left-footed set piece specialist was one of the key focuses this summer - something we’ve been desperate for and in McNeil, I think we’ll see a lot more quality from deadball situations.

Couldn't agree more.

Yep cornet missed a sitter. McNeil changed the game and they probably would have survived if they got him on sooner.

 love that kanchelskis lad is a big blue.

He can get decent crosses in, makes chances, delivery from set pecies is better than what we have. He more than holds his own defensively, even better than Richy in that department.

Put it this way he can do a job offensively in game we will hope to dominate the ball. Equally, when we play the top 6 teams and will get dominated ourselves he will defend from the front and do it very well. 

He is better that what we have, and at 22 is by no means at his full potential.

Jesus your a bundle of fun aren't you our signings so far are quite good.

[Shukes]

Strange signing for me.

Weve been crying out for a player that can cross a ball for Dom, and he seems more than able. 
Seems to be a hard worker as well. 
Can take a player on!

Why have we signed him? Why haven’t we gone after another left back?

[footywithuti]

Good evening everyone, I've just done a video breaking down everything you can expect to see from Dwight McNeil and why (IMO) he's going to be a terrific signing for Everton. Don't be fooled by his subpar end product last season, there's a plethora of reasons as to why that was the case and I fully expect him to get back to his previous level under Lampard. I'd love to hear your thoughts and am happy to answer any questions you may have in mind, cheers and have a great weekend!

Fuck it, he’s going to be a brilliant signing for us.

I haven’t been drinking or smoking anything.

Very good player 22 years old. Decent signing for me

Hope he gets a few goal involvements early in the season and then who knows!

With so many "let's all laugh at Everton" comments especially on BBC HYS - I'd love for this lad to have a worldie and shut everyone up. 

 

So many people look at stats to justify a player's worth it's ridiculous. How many assists would Son have got for Burnley last year, I can't imagine it'd be much more!

I was reading that garbage last night, there's always more obsessed RS cunts on any Everton related BBC HYS than Everton fans, Fucking whoppers. I hope that's enough swearing to satisfy Romey.
