All this hand-wringing over him choosing Brazil or England.....NZ is his only option, if he wants to play international football.....at this stage, he wouldn't get anywhere near our midfield.

Sounds very like the process Krishna underwent after bullying the local league to playing A league. He’s got to build up his physicality and endurance to be able to bring his technical qualities to bear. I think the time for making judgements will be soon, but perhaps not just yet.

Northampton (17th) travel to Rotherham (20th). MD-D got a late cameo last Northampton game.

Northampton lost 3-0 at Rotherham. Tzanev in goal but back to no MD-D.
10 man Northampton also lost an EFL Trophy game overrnight 3-0 at fellow L1 club,
Peterborough United. Again Tzanev in goal, but no MD-D.

Done his hamstring in the warm-down after his fleeting appearance against Peterborough the other week.
He's back to Fulham for rehab, and that's probably the Northampton loan deal done and dusted.

Ain’t gonna happen but a loan deal to the Nix until June would be nice
I think he was born in Welly and may even have family there on his mum’s side. Chance to better get to know NZ, and some of his potential future AWs team mates. Try get over those constant niggly soft tissue injuries in a NZ summer rather than the freezing UK

I agree it won't happen, but he would be exactly what we needed too. Someone to replace Marco in the creative department

I think he's about as much chance of starting as Marco due to injury so no point wasting our time. Might be wrong but he looks like he's made of glass.

Apparently he had about 12 clubs after him before going out on that ill-fated loan deal to Northampton. One of those was to a club in Austria which Fulham blocked, so you're probably right about a move further afield.
Big Dibley-Dias clan in Wellington though, that and he did come through the ranks at Fulham with one Marlee Francois who has found himself landing in Auckland.

The other Francois brother (Tyresse?) Fulham also loaned to a club in Finland for a time from memory
Someone should tell them the Nix have a truly world class training/injury rehab setup

Yeah Tyrese is at Wigan in League One now.
Don't worry about that second part, I have been doing exactly that! 😂

Niche Cache.
Matt Dibley-Dias made his return to the pitch with Fulham’s U21s this week. Sounds like he bossed it in a 2-2 draw against Everton, playing a little over an hour and picking up where he left off last year. U21s is probably all he’s going to be able to get for the rest of this season but Dibs is eligible to play Premier League for Fulham if the stars so align.

forgot about this guy. Maybe he can still make the world cup squad? Where does he play again? :P

Box to box midfielder I understand.
Has barely played a game of senior mens football. But he must have some genuine promise otherwise Fulham would have released him before now.
Ex AW Liam Graham played for Chesterfield.

🚨Told that Fulham midfielder Matt Dibley Dias is attracting interest from Chesterfield.

Looks like he's had a couple of pre-season runs for them.
An hour against Forest and 45 against Burton, but no mention in their latest two friendly matches

Read somewhere he had picked up an injury, though didn’t sound serious

Yeah it's a slight niggle.
He's back training though, and should be in the mix for start of the season, if not off the bench initially.
Got a good pre season in, so hopefully general fitness is up there. He needs all the minutes he can get this year.
