Have to sign the starting 10 first and it can’t be a kid.

Akliouche, Simons, Paz

But Dibling could easily find himself the 3rd 10 when Kulusevski gets back. Have a feeling Frank really likes Kulu.

He’s better off going to Everton

Dibling will definitely be behind Maddison and Kulusevski. Thats not even close. He doesn't get near our team but is another young squad player with huge potential.

Its the same as signing Archie Gray last summer. Diblin will need a year or two to get up to speed I imagine.

I would just feel sorry for the kid if we actually go through with it. Great potential but would be held up as a symbol of ENIC’s failure.

Unless he turns out to be prime Gareth Bale!

Hang on, isn't this pretty much the IDENTICAL scenario WE had with Madueke??

There might be different opinions as to his ability compared to Eze, but when you look at how everyone is wanking on about Eze returning to his spiritual home, and we didn't have a chance with him, well fine...

But flip that to Madueke....
WE had him in OUR academy, we let him go/he left to pursue regular football elsewhere, and flourished at other clubs. Fair enough.

But when it came to the crux of it, SURELY he (like Eze) wants to 'complete' the journey full circle by coming BACK HOME to Spurs...?

So how come HE'S at Woolwich TOO, with 'lifelong Gooner' Eze?

Can't have it both ways....
Though apparently you CAN!

Fuck this club!

Levy REALLY isn't helping in my recovery!

Did we want Madueke? I must have missed that

Do we need a 10. Liverpool won a league under Klopp without one. Just 3 hard working players. Just block the middle up, nobody gets at the defence. We score from set pieces and Kudus creates things.
Woolwich don’t play with a 10 as such. Eze will end up on the left wing.

I think Eze will end up struggling for as much game time as he'd have got here, but he's a boyhood fan so it was inevitable. He won't get gametime in the 10 which means he'll struggle to get in there for England as well.

He's not totally wrong, goons clearly just as in for him as we were, but the broader point stands: Where is our fucking 10?

And the point about not walking into a car showroom and paying the ticket price is redundant. WE'RE WALKING HOME!

Our enemies are driving past us and throwing cups of piss out the windows! We're the bus wanker!

GRAH, fuming again.

Maddison is done for the season and kulu half the season. And neither is a nailed on starter once they return.

Dibling may not be good enough yet but I wouldn’t worry about a 28 year old maddison coming off acl surgery and kulusevski blocking any sort of quality player.

Yeah I'm not being bitter when I say that Tottenham would have been a much safer move for Eze.

Eze will have Madueke and Martinelli taking plenty of minutes off him at left wing and imagine Arteta will still want to give Nwaneri gametime in the 10 so there won't be too many opportunities for him to play there.

Also the style Woolwich play is horrendous to watch while Eze is probably one of the flashiest players in the league. Arteta might try and turn him into a touchline winger which could end up similar to Grealish at City. Eze relishes being the main man and I don't think Arteta's system will allow for him being able to roam freely! I also imagine Arteta will train all the dark arts into him and have him pinching players at corners and stuff. It would be funny if Arteta just ruined him as an exciting player!

Mid table.

Injuries will see to us, with no proper quality in reserve.

That will be the story of this season.

"we couldn't have gotten Eze because scum's 4D chess!!"

haha, you believe that spun line if you want, folks.

Played in every way.

Either turn the stadium against that bald bastard, or it just goes on and on.

That's where we are.
 
Dibling is rubbish. A championship level player.

It'll be more wasted money signing him. Nowhere near good enough. He won't develop into a top level player either.

We're repeating the same transfer mistakes. No accountability for the money wasted.
