Player Valuation: £40m
The greatest footballer I've ever seen is an autistic left footed right winger. If you're telling me this lads the same but bigger then that's another tick in the box
We're ace at putting in offers aren't we.
Yes he's the same profile as Chris Rigg in terms of potential. Hopefully our own Harrison Armstrong and him combine well if we sign him.
I see him as moving from the RW to an ACM position in 2 seasons time -- others have posted Russell Martin saying similar.
Is that how you expect him to end up, as a 10?
Totally disagree on Rigg. I saw him play several games 2nd half of the season and he was at least as good as Dan Neil who is considered to be very good at that level.
But i do agree on their stages of development. Rigg of course is only 18, same as Armstrong.
Obviously we dont have a bottomless pit of cash but I would say that if we got Dibling and Rigg, along with having Armstrong that may well become an elite level central trio in 2 seasons time.
I’m glad you said that, nor have I.Never seen the lad kick a ball.
Well if he's on it the deal can't be happening.
I’m glad you said that, nor have I.
Yes, agreed. If the talent and background checks stack up though we could go up to £35m on a 7 year deal so amortised @ £5m per season which stacks up financially.Making allowances for his age he would need to be exceptionally good for this type of fee, particularly how significant that would be for us. We can't spend that type of money for someone to spend most of the season on the bench.
Surely there would have to be a decent chunk of it performance and appearance related.
Are we just call everyone who is shy and reserved autistic now?The greatest footballer I've ever seen is an autistic left footed right winger. If you're telling me this lads the same but bigger then that's another tick in the box
We say the same about Pickford.Just having little mooch on the Southampton forum and they think 35 million gets him,They're saying he definitely wants out.
Also some of them are arguing he's definitely undiagnosed Autistic....I thought it was mad on here![]()
Honestly if I was recruiting keepers for an academy I'd try and get my hands on a local clinic's 'recently diagnosed' list. Got to be one of the best possible attributes thereWe say the same about Pickford.![]()
