Mazzy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 10 minutes ago, HawK said: Have only just seen that Mbuemo is 25. We should spend our whole pot and mortgage our ground to get him imo I'm sure you've seen it mentioned before but the fact he's bald, people believe has a huge impact on how fans/media view him. Thinking he's 28/29 for one thing changed how you saw him as a potential transfer and I think alot of fans would think the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very weird, very superficial, but quite frequently (sadly) very true !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Is Dibling that good? Had a look at his FBRef stats and they're pretty poor, though probably massively affected by being in a struggling team. Did a quick Dennis Wise scout and he looks pretty fast, dribbly and two-footed, but a lot of the clips were youth/reserve football and was largely just him being faster in a straight line than others in his age group. Is he actually a top prospect or is he get getting overhyped cause he's a winger whose name sounds like 'dribbling'?

Dokko Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 1 hour ago, SteV said: He doesn’t need to be in the ‘shop window’, especially not in a team getting howked every week. Any MLS or South American teams know who he is already. Aye, not playing is really getting the offers in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis H Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 As expensive as he’d be, Mbuemo would pay for himself over time. He personally could be the difference between Champions League and Europa League this year. Dibling would be a wait and see for a presumably not too dissimilar fee.

HawK Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Mbuemo does not look 25, hair or no. Full beard and seems to have been around for years as well. 25yr old Mbuemo for 50m, yes please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 He's called Bryan as well, which adds half a century to his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think finances are such that to get Mbuemo in you would have to sell one of your big hitters therefore weakening 1 area to increase another. Got to hope Mitchell finds a player out there capable of becoming Mbuemo before the 50/60m+ price tag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Dibling looks kinda like a left footed Anthony Gordon in his highlights, though they mostly consist of reserve matches. Anyone would struggle to look good in this Southampton team. They might be the worst of all time. Edited January 5 by Skeletor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would solve our FFP issues and Brentford are so well run it probably doesn’t make too much difference whether they receive the money in this PSR window or the next.

Shak Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The time to buy Mbuemo was a year or two ago. This is the whole point of bringing in Mitchell and building around him. He's supposed to find these players before they cost huge money. Have to back him to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Like Guehi, the time to sign Mbuemo isn't now. His stock feels really high right now and he's in great form. The summer would have been more realistic. Regards Dibling, I remember being impressed by him early in the season, but now that we have been linked I feel like everytime I've seen him he's been poor and his shooting in particular feels very erratic.

The Prophet Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 This is how Arsenal fans sound when they're thirsting after Isak. He guarantees double digit goals and is heading into his prime years. He's got two and a half years left on his deal, I'd wager he'll end up going to a club like Liverpool for circa £70 million to £80 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Just now, Dokko said: Why? Because he’s a known entity. He’s played in the PL and internationally for years. If an interested club have a value of him now, that won’t increase because he plays a few games for Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
