I get what you mean however if it's a choice between Pino or Johnson, then for me it's Pino every day of the week. Yes a lot of what he tries doesn't quite come off but it's also never that far away from working. Plus in his first season with us a lot did also work out and he progressed as the season went on. Unfortunately every time Johnson has played he just looks completely lost and can barely touch the ball or complete a pass let alone provide any threat in the opponents final 3rd.
If Everton were willing to say McNeil plus 10m I think I'd snap theit hands off tbh. And not because I think McNeill is great, but mainly because if we don't get rid of Johnson before it's too late I think his value will plummet even further. McNeil although not amazing could be a useful squad member and could also provide some crosses for JSL (as it looks like that's the only real threat he carries, as for a big lad he's not a great target man and doesn't have much pace to get in behind).
It does feel a little bit like this summer window is more just an exercise in damage limitation from the madness in January.
