2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[Kevsleftpeg]

Barkley was the next scholes , gerrard , lampard

I remember a few saying Jelavic was better than Suarez.

Not gonna lie, I wanted him straight in the side when we were playing Charly out wide because Charly for all his talent is definitely not a winger.

Ndiaye and Grealish look great together so he can earn his way into the side now.

Afcon will be a big opportunity for the likes of Dibling and Rohl to show what they've got with Gana and NDiaye not being available. Could also give Alcaraz, Iro and McNeil more game time with rotation during a busy period.

Something something Harrison Armstrong...

(not that I'm down on him, just think people need to pump the brakes a bit on assuming he'll be the solution to our midfield from next season etc)

I am 100% in agreement. People are going way over the top on him based on can't evidence.

As a human being he absolutely was and still is.

Barkley destroyed his own career with very bad decisions and probably putting his own hype before actual progression in his game..

Dunno about that, won an FA Cup, Europa League and CWC as well as played abroad and plenty of Champ League games.
His career has been far more successful than if he had stayed here, and he’s earned and absolute heap of money to boot.
His local reputation maybe, but career wise it’s had to justified he destroyed it.

I'm not looking at it as local reputation, yes he has trophy's to his name to his name, but how imput did he really have in those achievements.. his time abroad and other clubs were brief moves that didnt lead to big contracts.

He has earned a lot of money, so fair play, but will he really be remembered as a household name in years to come.

Gerrard - lamps and scholes certainly will..

It’s highly debatable he would have reached those heights with us tbf, that injury probably put paid to that regardless of whom he played for, IF he was ever really able to reach those levels.
Personally, I’m unconvinced he had the footballing intelligence to be on the same perch regardless of his injuries.
But to the wider point, how else to judge his career success or failure other than trophy’s and wealth, both of which are greater than had he stayed put

All I’m saying is I don’t think he was ever reaching that bracket of player, but he certainly didn’t destroy his careeer imo.

Bringing it back to Dibling, the little I’ve seen of him he looks to have a bit more about him than Barkley did. Even if possibly not as good from an outright technical point of view, he appears to have a better appreciation of what do in a team than outright individual brilliance.

Barkley is playing in the premier league, wading in money. Calling his career destroyed is wild. Had we sold him, and he was loaned out to some lower league which he never left, sure, but thats not what happened.

I mean they also won just about everything, that probably helps a bit I'd say.

the year was 2012, the olympics were coming, and it was essentially about a year or so left of being optimistic about life

of course people got carried away

 

[Tel001]

Find me a single post by someone who isn’t Catcher declaring DCL was better than Kane.

No

Can’t argue with that

All comes down to a difference of opinions on certain aspects a persons end goal in sport..

Nothing wrong with different opinions, a forum wouldn't work if everyone sang from the same hymn sheet all the time..
