He did indeed, and this fella seems to fit the bill?

I certainly see him as an option in the Azaz position. Also someone who can come off the bench when Scienza gets tired. Edozie IMHO should be moved on as he’s hit and miss.

He can play anywhere across the three positions behind the striker but has predominantly been a left winger. He would immediately be an upgrade on Sam Edozie or Jay Robinson.

I saw Preston fans chatting about him late in the season and they were saying he was at his best when he was playing in the space behind a striker who could hold the ball up. Loves to make runs in behind or attempt a shot from the edge of the box. They felt he was more effective as an AM or coming off the left

Says here either flank or shadow striker but don’t know how accurate this site is https://onefootball.com/de/news/southampton-eye-lewis-dobbin-as-tonda-eckert-seeks-another-leo-scienza-style-spark-43125012

Didn’t Solak say we were looking for someone to take the pressure off of Azaz? Hopefully we keep hold of Scienza as well as he’s likely to improve again this season with better fitness.

Not a player I've noticed , is he a left winger then?

Good signing if we get this over the line. Demonstrates good intentions, also encouraging that we haven’t pissed about looking for some unknown in the Dutch fifth division or something weird like that.

First thought - it’s from The Athletic - I’m surprised they haven’t found a way to slag us off over this deal. Secondly, it doesn’t necessarily mean Leo Scienza if off. Squad depth is needed, and wide players, effective wide players were in short supply last season.

Argies will try to dominate the middle of the park and make it a scrap. They don’t play with much width, and it allows Messi to wander Rice has to be on it, otherwise it will be very tough.

Its starting to reach that point of a tournament where the bandwagon jumpers are doing my head in, got to the stage where I'll just pretend I dont follow football to avoid painful conversations at work with people who have watched a couple of games and now turned into know-it-alls

In that heat and intense environment,Tuchel seems to value experience. Nevertheless not using Mainoo does seem strange, he's always looked good imo. Not taking Gibbs White was a poor decision, he would have been a good back up for Rice. I thought England worked hard to control the game against Norway. Never quite achieved it, but when the subs came on, Norway were chasing the game and weren't able to build sustained pressure. I thought the ref was excellent, I'd prefer no VAR but it is what it is. Argies will go for England and will try to control the midfield. That's where the battle will be. Need to shackle Mac Allister, Fernandez, and Paredes. If they are allowed to play with any sort of freedom, then Messi will have his opportunity. World Cup semi finals are never easy, England are there on merit. Shaping up to be a great game.

We better be getting padded seats like the Emirates otherwise how are we going to win the Champions League in 4 years time FFS. Look how well it's worked for MK Dons!

My thoughts exactly. Don’t think Dobbin plays centrally as a rule.

Slightly worried it means Scienza is off.

Happy with this if true 👍 fair play

.....even if he did well and scored in the German second league, the last season was disappointing to say the least BUT maybe his limited game time on loan will have taught him something, even if he didn't get on the score sheet. There must be a footballer in there somewhere, perhaps getting gametime alongside Larin may be of benefit.

Gosh, we're all having our very own discours! Trust MLG to be involved! :-)

I mean, each to his own, but why do you want to sit next to 2 fat bastards?
