    Aribo released by Southampton. I'd be happy to have him back, still only 29
    The Aribo of 2019? Yes, I'd love to have him.

    The Aribo of 2026? Not so sure.
    Seems like the only way we'd be able to get him back is when his stock is low though. Good opportunity for him to rebuild in familiar surroundings. Got Turkey written all over him for me though
    In fairness we’ve signed our fair share of turkeys in recent times.

    Rak-Sakyi has been released

    “Chelsea have also confirmed that 21-year-old striker Ronnie Stutter will move to a month-to-month contract with the club.”

    I didn’t know this was a thing. Not much stability for the lad.

    Not that he’s had a bad career, but when he left us, I was very confident Aribo was going to have an incredible career. Obviously only 29, so still time to go on and do more, but I thought he’d be consistently playing at top tier by now (Premier League, Bundesliga etc)

    He did well enough at Rangers, won the league and got to the finals of the Europa league. It was moving to Southampton and then getting relegated with them that seems to have screwed him over. I can imagine an alternate universe where he went to Villa or some other club instead and probably would be looking decent at a higher level.

    Aribo is probably on higher wages than we can afford.
    After years of league one football I had forgotten the basic standard footballers need to have to play at Championship or higher level.
    I was reminded what a proper higher level footballer should be like at the most fundamental level when I saw the estimable Bell last season, and even squeaky Connor Coady.
    If he is fit and affordable then Aribo would not be a particular regressive signing given the experience he has had playing at the levels he has.
