Only just seen this on another news thread. Obviously hope he’s ok & the move hasn’t damaged him. Hopefully he returns, gets his mojo back & continues to develop which will be great for him, Saints & definitely won’t hurt when some other up&coming young stars “see” a future elsewhere. Might make them think twice?
I’m relieved that Dibling’s move back was swift and that (it appears) the clubs and all stakeholders were able to cooperate in order to prioritise the welfare of a child.
I can’t imagine how hard it would be to make a good decision at that age. I think back and I made so many poor decisions about little things. I would made a mess of a decision like that for sure.
U18's playing Chelsea again. League Cup. Currently 2 - 0 up. Davis 20' Morgan 23' 3 - 0 Jimmy J Morgan again 88 min. 3 - 0 FT.
Ballard starting in this one as well as the young player from spurs. It looks like we only signed the attacker and not the left back from that double deal that was mentioned. As Dibling shows it seems deals in that age group are not always set
B Team 2 - 0 down after 20 mins at Leeds. Bamford and Summerville. 4 0 down 42 mins 5 0 down 53 mins. 6 - 0 down 55 minutes 7 0 down 69 mins 8 - 0 FULL TIME so the OS quotes. However I am thinking it might be 6 - 2 because the last two goals were scored by Ballard and Bellis and I am sure they weren't og's! https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/...s-united-southampton-premier-league-2-2022-23
Under 18's away to Crystal Palace, currently 2 - 2 Charles and Trialist B. 37 minutes Final score Palace won 3 - 2.
That is just brilliant from Saints. And what strength of character from Sam as well. To recover from the huge disappointment of his career being cut short to obviously impressing Saints enough to give him a full time role with the academy.

Finally confirmed. 16 year old left back from spurs. Was reported in the summer but for a while it looked like only the winger had joined
