Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[VaguelyBrown]

Id be surprised if he plays in this cup game tbh, think they will want him training with the others for a few days first.

He might come on for the last 10/20 mins, I’d be very surprised if he got more than that.

I’d love to see him start against Wolves, but I think that might be too soon for him. It’ll be exciting to find out though!

In my opinion, this is our best signing since Lukaku.

I don’t know how fast we’ll throw him in. He missed pre-season with an injury and only just come back hasn’t he?

I read this as you don't know how fast his throw ins were. A stat I feel isn't looked into enough

 

[VaguelyBrown]

A mostly irrelevant but interesting point about our current squad is the number of English players we have in our best eleven.

I’d say our best starting lineup as it stands (ignoring injuries) would have Grealish, KDH, Dibling, Branthwaite, Tarkowski and Pickford in it. Fully half of the starters being English sounds like a rarity for a prem team?

Full disclosure I’ve done literally no research on the subject as players nationality has never seemed massively relevant to me, but it certainly strikes me as a standout these days

 

[VaguelyBrown]

In fact if we play Garner LB and Keane RB (which would be rubbish but possible) and Armstrong in DM then we’d only be a striker away from a full English eleven.

To stress the point - not brexiteer nonsense here , not suggesting this is anything other than interesting! But I can’t think of a time the squad has looked this way for many years

Edit: My maths is clearly off as that’s 9 players and we’re still missing a striker. Whoops. Anyway, the point still stands that we’ve got a very English squad

The brief clips I’ve seen of him, he rolls players like prime Gascoigne.

We might not win anything with this side, but at least we have some players to enjoy.

I’m going to be charitable and say that he sounds like a 19 year old kid who isn’t very comfortable with media at the moment. Rooney used to be very much the same. He’ll grow into it I’m sure.

Noticed this with the team on Sunday. Didn’t see other teams with near as many English in the starting 11

Yeah. Dude is a baby. He will be in the spotlight now so he might get a bit more experience talking to the press. Being quiet doesn't necessarily make you dim either.

 

[Swartzy]

What people don't understand is that it'lll be a four-year contract with a clause to allow us to extend it to five.

It has to be, 4yrs is just total nonsense, especially with the 20% sell on clause..

For clarity sake, as it feels like a GOT homepage peice for a budding stats writer, do you mean the time it takes to take the throw in or the speed the ball is released at?

He is being asked the dullest of questions. I don't blame him for responding how he did. Just enjoy your football rather than monologuing about 'what the gaffer means to him as a highly sought after prospect'.

Tbh he may be better writing than speaking ...

 

[VaguelyBrown]

He was definitely briefed to say the word ‘exciting’ as often as possible today, bless him
