I should indeed know that, having created him on FM 😁 Mistake due to me thinking about him being linked to Newcastle recently and mixing him with Dibling's cohort.

Saints haven't signed any players from other academies who block Dibling's pathway as an attacking midfielder. If he is going to Newcastle it is due to money, not blocked pathways.

No Tyler Dibling 😞

a) The season between Spring and Autumn. In the Northern Hemisphere from the Summer solstice to the Autumnal equinox. b) That makes no sense. What exactly are you talking about?

What questions do you think I haven't answered?

By 'this' you mean... ignore answering entirely relevant questions based on comparable players at similar sized clubs. Who would you rather Saints had at right back... Wan-Bissaka for £50m or Walker-Peters?

Pointing out that Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White is not 'nonsense', it is reality and is entirely relevant. Do you think Walker-Peters isn't as good as either of them? Or worth as much as them with 3 years left on his contract.

That is not an answer to either question. Give an answer a try!

1) Were you stunned by Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White? How do you think they managed to get £50m? 2) Do you think Walker-Peters isn't as good as either of them?

I'm guessing you were stunned when Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White? That is the transfer market we live in. Walker-Peters is better than both of them, and his value is aided by 3 years left on his contract.

Are you ruling out any owner investment? If so... why?

He very easily is! He has 3 years left of his contract, so his value remains high. We live in a world where Aaron Wan Bissaka and Ben White were both sold for £50m!

How does getting him on a loan with an option solve the problem of other clubs blowing Saints out of the water?

That is the morning! 😉😇

We had this last week...

I think Aribo will be viewed as one of the two number 10s in the 4222. - Romeu with Lavia as back up for the number 6 role - Ward-Prowse with Diallo as backup for the number 8 role - Aribo, S.Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Redmond, Tella for two number 10 roles

Some people in the media are claiming he flew to Germany with the rest of the team for a training camp.

Deserves his own thread now as the rumour is more substantial coming from The Athletic...
