Dan Neil

Meph's had a very good season.

Jobe's had a very good season.

O'Nien's had a very good season.

Cirkin's had a good season.

Hume's had good season.

Wilson's had a good season.


It's one thing opining that Dan Neil's your player of the season, but to suggest there's no argument against him is just absurd.

We will see who has been opining correctly when the results are in.

Rigg looks like a pile of f***ing crap if you trust those ratings...and we want 38 million?

I mean... Rigg hasn't exactly been putting in many good performances, has he? He's a talent, to be sure, but he's not pulling up any trees at the minute outside of 1 or 2 performances at the start of the season. If he goes for big money that'll be people banking on his potential, not his form.

People voted for the Nazi party, Brexit and Donald Trump. It doesn't make them right.

I rate Dan Neil, just a shame he hasnt got better this season. The suggestion that he should win poty has me perplexed.

People were pretty unanimous before Christmas that he'd been a bit crap - himself included. That's a big chunk of the season for a so called player of the year to not be very good.

I'm not convinced he's been any better. He looks the same. And again, pre-Christmas, all the talk was about how much Jobe (and to a lesser extent Rigg) had kicked on since the summer and were leaving him behind.

If you could argue one difference, it's that he's maybe grown into this season as time's gone on, rather than starting well and fading badly as in previous seasons. But that said, he's been poor again the last few weeks.

Im really surprised he's in contention, I had no idea the consensus was that he has had a good season, as like you say, all I saw was people whinging about him prior to Christmas.

Not slating the lad other than his Coventry performance, but there's a good group of players he is well behind, imo there.

So was Brexit but it's been a right carry on.

He’s had a few more bad games than one. If 15 million is up for grabs for Neil it is extremely good business.


All three won’t go. We are building not selling the lot.

Neil is worth more imo but as he’s coming into the last year of his contract I can’t see us getting his true value if he leaves. Having said that, I don’t think he will
 
Sell our current midfield 3 for £100m? Yes please, I wanna see Alan Browne destroy the Championship with Milan Aleksic and Mads Frojkaer next season.

He started poorly but, making a few high profile errors and generally looking out of sorts but he has had a decent season overall. He was excellent from November to February really.

Hume or Onein would be my pick for POTY though.

Im not saying he's had a bad season, just average and not improved when nearly everyone around him has. I think the initial point of the thread was that he was one especially that I had assumed would improve.

Mine would be Hume or Mundle had he not gotten injured. A very close third in Jobe, who had his form not dropped off a cliff in January to that of an average level, should have walked it. Then you have a group of players all in front of Dan IMO, Mepham, Wilson, maybe 09, Mayenda had he started more.

He's a good championship player this season, whose form has fluctuated. I thought he'd be past that point by now, certainly the standard shown at Cov.
 
If only the professional scouts were as clueless as some of our fans. We'd be able to help a hold of our best players.
 
Will find himself in same position as Jack Clarke if he goes. If he wants to chase the money then let him, he was public enemy number one August - October on here! His ceiling as a player isn’t that high.

I tend not to click Dan Neil threads because they depress me. Many of our fans haven't got a single Scooby when it comes to understanding a game of football. For the record, IMO he is our most important player and we should give him what his ability warrants before we lose him on the cheap.

I'm not sure where you have done your survay mind. He was out of form to for the first third, handful of outstanding performances over winter and then Coventry.

First third is a stretch.

You continue to mention Coventry yet every last player on the pitch wasn’t at it.

As for my ‘survay’ every fan with eyes agrees he’s been our best player, I don’t include the bob dylan avatar poster in this as he is clearly a virgin who was bullied at school and never kicked a ball in his life.

Not sure if it’s a lot of people or a few people who post a lot
