Doesn’t matter when he worked there he worked with those two helmets and was involved in the whole headlock gate.
He’s a rat and a club lackey.

We have been calling for a change to the business model for years, we need to identify young talent develop with a view to huge profits. Buy talent on the way up as opposed to expensive players, ageing and on the way down.
People seem to thing he has to be at 100 the day he lands, he needs to contribute and progress and we as a club can do the same.
This is exactly the kind of player we should be signing more of, blended with experience to build a strong team.
And the Dibling thread reaches Godwin's Law heights. What a time to be alive.

Happy enough if we pull this off.
Can’t help but feel we need someone ready to produce though before we speculate on players like this.
Potential/Promise doesn’t always = Production.
We’re desperate for more production off that right hand side.
Example I would use here is, if you gave McNeil for instance the same amount of minutes as Dibling last year at Southampton would he have better or worse numbers?
Better for me. That’s not to say Dibling doesn’t look massively more talented and his ceiling could be ridiculous. It just means I’d rather we had a Kubo/Fofana who look more likely to contribute in place before we add wonderkids who might still go either way.
All things aside, he’s better than what we usually come up with transfer wise

I may be being overly woke but I’m not sure using holocaust perpetrators as a point of reference in relation to some trivial footballing matter is completely appropriate.
This might be controversial but I think one or two players like Dibling are perfect for us over the next couple windows precisely because we actually don't really have legit needs now. Assuming our remaining squad holes get filled well, we're going to finish somewhere around 14th-9th. Getting a project player now in one or two positions won't stop us from reaching any goals this season assuming their floor right now is being good enough to contribute to a team finishing around mid-table. The goal at the club should be to get Europe consistently from in about two seasons time onwards.
Long way of saying - players that don't have a floor that make us *worse* now, but do have a ceiling that could make us a lot *better* in a couple seasons, are great targets in a couple of positions.

Haha same! Of course that'd be ace and stranger things have happened. But in terms of planning, the club should be thinking long term how do we get back to the top table and stay there. With limited resources, that means sacrificing immediate success to some degree - just got to get that degree right.

But what fun watching 3 players in the same team running forward with the ball for a change and not going backward and sidewaysHappy enough if we pull this off.

This is not to say you're wrong, but McNeil's numbers were terrible the season before we signed him. To the point where many didn't want us to spend (just) £15m on him. Soon as he made the (at the time) small jump to us from Burnley though, his numbers and increased and - without checking - seem to have got better every year.
And his ceiling was always midtable Premier League player.
If Hammond doesn’t do something quick Dibling will no longer be a teenager and @Zatara will lose all interest in signing him
