Transfer Rumour Tyler Dibling


It amazes me how many people in this thread have not noticed that in the year 2025 more teams use a right footer on the left and a leftie on the right than the 70/80s left on left, right on right. This is because more goals and assists come from cutting in and shooting/linking up than old fashioned crosses on the run. We have tall strikers but they are both more effective running in behind than as old school 9s. Given time to adjust McNeil absolutely can provide at least functional depth on the right IMO.

It definitely isn’t as basic and simple as that though is it? Defenders aren’t just going to let left footers waltz in from the right and have as many pot shots as they want.

To create that space and open up the pitch you need to be able to shift and change direction quickly, drop a shoulder, have a burst of pace to get away, and occasionally go on the outside and stand one up with your weak foot to make it less predictable what you’re going to do. Have you ever seen McNeil show any of these attributes? You haven’t, because he can’t play on the right.

Dibling is a player that does display these attributes, and that’s why he is a left footer that plays on the right.

I’m sure this signing would all be thanks to the prolonged and violent bedwetting of GOT members during a late night preseason friendly. Good job by all of you.

I agree on the overall point here, but


Obviously a fantastic player but it worked for him about 5000 times so :lol:

Totally agree. McNeil does not have the ability to beat a man or put a cross in with his weaker foot.
