2025/26 Tyler Dibling

Ndiaye has to play. Dibling already has PL experience. We will need him during Afcon, let him settle.

Settle comfortably into the bench so we can say "well he's clearly not ready" when he's clearly not ready because he hasn't played in half a year?

Dwight McNeil will be starting, don't worry.

Maybe he isn't ready - but he doesn't need to play.

He will come Afcon.

Makes sense, after all he did play about 40 games last year.

He doesn't need to play is a crazy shout though, gotta say.

I actually hope it was mate, I want to live in a world where we can spend 30 mill on a player and allow them time and space to find their feet and develop.

We don't have the time! We don't have the financial clout of the big boys for such a luxury. The big boys have a 2nd string on the bench that can compete against our 1st team. And THATS the luxury!

Admittedly it is weird to see McNeil ahead of him. But I guess I'm just not that bothered whilst Ndiaye is on form.

And we are trying to build towards that. Unless you want us to go down Moshiri mercenary route again.

Need to get Top 6 ( better if top 4 ) asap. That's where the money and the player pull power is. Even If it means signing short term experienced players like Xhaka / Vardy / Walker etc to get us there. Wouldnt call them Mercenaries. THEN - You can think about having young "luxury" players you can nurture.

Why don’t we have time?

Do you think we are winning the league this year?

Never mentioned this year! Got to get up the league places to top6 or close asap or we'll never compete for quality players. They just won't come! That's where the money and player pull factor is.

Trying to do it "asap" is how you pull a Moshiri and end up in a financial black hole.

That was pure narcissism and a total lack of a plan , lamb chop head Carragher was spot on about how bad we were run. As much as I don’t like him it took a ex red to point it out on national television.

if anything we should be looking to win the FA Cup, gets you into Europe and potential attract better players .

Well let's wait around another 10 years and take our time to improve. Let's do it proper!

If we were a team that was in that position that'd be fine,but our squad is so thin that any long-term injuries put us in a very precarious situation. I'd honestly preferred we'd spent 15m each on two players ready to hit the ground running or even better three at 10m each. It's the sort of business the top six clubs can do but too risky for us.
