For me, this has to be the window where we ship all lingering dead wood and really start to shape a better quality squad/team… Gana may go, Tim may go, McNeill should go, Dibling should go out on loan, Keane should never of been given another contract… Promote some of the youngsters including notably young Braiden….
Bring in Hackney, Grealish, Kubo, Hjulmand, Wan-Bissaka or another suitable right back… and finally a decent well accomplished striker. I’ve been saying this now every season since Lukaku left. Not sure who’s available but Gabriel Jesus for me is not the answer as he is injury prone!

Agree in principle, Elvis. The problem, as always, is that every team is looking for that elusive 20 goal a season number 9. We're all great at saying who not to sign, but who is that striker that we can afford and that will come?
06 Jun 2026 14:00:23
Should not be loaning Dibling out. We should be playing him.
06 Jun 2026 14:28:51
Not for me, he needs experience. Loan him out, would help him.
06 Jun 2026 14:58:31
I'm with BMD, he showed he can play in the Prem when at Southampton. Yes, wingers have to help out defending these days, but are wingers basically playing as 2nd fullbacks. End of the day, if the lad doesn't fit in your system, get rid, don't loan him out.
He would go on loan, be awesome for that team, getting great reviews for his style and flair and comeback, and Moyes will say I want you to defend more, not go forward. That's just my view. GB, I think he is a younger version of Grealish before he went to City.
06 Jun 2026 15:56:00
He has a long way to go before getting anywhere near Jack, just think a loan would be the answer for him.
06 Jun 2026 16:22:32
Fairshout, GB, I just think we are wasting the lad's talent. Obviously certain players suit certain systems and Dibling doesn't suit Moyes' system. Shame really coz we have a really good talent there but we won't ever benefit from it under Moyes.

Was reading that DM is not happy with Dibling as he is poor in training and needs to do better. Looks like he will go out on loan. Think the price tag we paid for him might actually be holding him back, mate, that's a mighty high cost he has to prove he's worth it.
06 Jun 2026 16:58:53
He doesn't play in Jack's position.
Already showed he can do it in the prem. Any Southampton fan I've spoken to about him (which is quite a few, mind) said he's better as a number 10.
No point loaning him out, may as well use him.
06 Jun 2026 16:59:45
Poor homework from Moyes and his staff then, and sits there on the bench watching players like McNeil starting in front of you, and Rolh, who isn't a right winger, starting ahead of you, who actually did alright. He probably thinks, doesn't matter what I do in training, he isn't gonna start me.
Bet it's how Armstrong, Alcaraz, Patterson and Anzou feel. Not all players are great in training, but are different on match days. Poor man management for me, he has totally drained the lads' confidence.

Dibling wasn't an unknown quantity when we signed him. Numerous clubs were interested in him the season before when he had been outstanding for Southampton and were being quoted a lot more than we paid for him.
As he proved at Southampton, he is more than capable of performing in the Premier League. All he needs is a manager with an attacking philosophy, and not a defend at all costs philosophy (even at home) , who believes in him and allows him to express himself.
Of all the signings made last summer, Dibling was the one I looked forward to the most, but, as was shown in the final 7 games of the season, Moyes is a Dyche clone and bottled it. Unfortunately, this will continue until someone at TFG grows a pair.
06 Jun 2026 17:57:58
Dibling's best position is just behind the striker, not stuck on the bloody wing. Would have thought when we scouted him, we would have realised that.
06 Jun 2026 18:47:37
I don't get Moyes' statement about Dibling not being good in training. What the hell can anyone who cost 40m+ do that bad in training to prevent them being selected to play a full game.
06 Jun 2026 19:12:29
If we brought in another rw like Jamie Leweling or Jarrod Bowen, I would loan Dibling, but as it stands I want to see him have a good preseason and be starting.
06 Jun 2026 23:14:12
Says more about Dibling than McNeil or Rohl. Showed he can play in the Prem, so can 11 x 20 other players. £40 mill ffs.
06 Jun 2026 23:54:30
Don't get your comment here dms, Dibling is twice as talented as McNeil and he didn't set his price either. I'm unsure where you are going with this 1. ?♂️?♂️?♂️?♂️?♂️ I might have read it wrong.
07 Jun 2026 10:19:55
He's not a winger ffs. Why keep comparing him to one? Moyes clearly doesn't trust young players, which is why we see the same eleven churned out every week regardless of results.
As for the old doesn't do enough in training rubbish. What doesn't run around chasing shadows, going look at me boss. Utter nonsense.
07 Jun 2026 11:46:03
Watch his hattrick against Newcastle for Southampton youth.
Yes, it may not be PL level, but you can only play the game in front of you.
The lad has tight and close control and power when he gets going - tailor-made for the 10.
Moyes has ruined him thus far.
07 Jun 2026 16:24:35
What gets me is we were rubbish last 4 to 5 games, so change it, and give the likes of Dibbling a proper run out to gain some valuable playing time. Who knows, the outcome might have been different, or at least, if it hadn't changed anything, we could have properly assessed our young players.
For this reason alone, I'm in the get rid of Moyes camp. Agree with the above comments re moving on Tarks, Keane and McNeil. If we can get better quality, more than anything, please please please can we have a lb and a rb. I mean, we have only needed these for around 5 seasons now!
