unless city drop the asking for grealish by about 80% then we arent signing him in the summer, meaning Dibling is/ was a key part of the puzzle, as Iliman moves back to the left and Dibling plays on the right (assuming you believe hes going to be good)
And thats without even mentioning AFCON, which (obvs) the club knew to be happening, and which will mean iliman isnt available.
4 months ago everyone was screaming for another right winger. It was always pretty unlikely whoever we got was going to displace Iliman, so buying for the future does/ did make sense.
It is annoying we didnt get more FBs in, but we did spend 9m on Aznou, so presumably we thought he was up to scratch, and maybe thats just a mistake, but you cant claim we didnt strenghten there because of the Dibling signing
So in the end youre left with us not signing a RB, which was a [Poor language removed] up, but again I dont think we didnt get one cos we signed Tyler
Just wish DM would give him more game time ahead of the AFCON, 30 mins here and there rather than 3
