Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Gilbert..]

Think he looks decent myself. Got a burst of speed and decent control. Not seen anywhere near enough to know if he's worth that money. But that instant reaction you get. Good player.

Spurs paid £40 mil for Archie Gray from Leeds .
Around the same age , risk , experience & future potential .

He won't be sold for £27 mil.

Never seen the lad kick a ball.

He is a brilliant prospect, and sorry easily 35m

Throwing ridiculous sums of money around in a panic just to sign a player is precisely what the old regime did, on numerous occasions. There is no guarantee that this player will achieve their potential, but there is a risk that we could be pouring money down the drain.

As for being positive, I am trying to be as positive as I can be. I would like for us to sign one right winger with some experience and another younger winger at a cheaper asking price than Dibling (i.e. around £15m to £20m). If given the choice between Tom Fellows and Dibling, I would go for Tom Fellows.

Its not a panic though is it?

Its not deadline day. Weve got a month for that. They've clearly got a list of targets. If they think he's good enough (I think he is), then let them roll with it.

Weve not been linked with Fellows solidly, since Thelwell left. Clearly Moyes doesnt fancy him.

I suspect McAtee has turned us down and this is option B.

Nope this is us moving on from Fofana and Kubo

PLayed twice at gooddison last season, inclduding the dismal CC cup loss and te last game ever. I will be honest, if my son in law was not asaints st holder i would never have known who he is
The saints fans love him

Plays reminiscent of Palmer (obviously minus the silly lethal end product)

This from my son in law who was saints acaedmy for years:

We have bid for Dibling:

A painful inevitability: What’s your bid?
Was always going ti happen
Wish we could have kept him for another 2 years, he’d be worth a lot more

 

[MACCA75]

Just reading the Southampton forum, they reckon £35 mill, maybe with some add ons would get it done. They don’t seem devastated to be losing him mind, but was probably similar with Gordon for us.

 

[Davidoff]

Sounds like a retired steeple jack

 

[bluestevon]

If this kid played in France/Spain, at this stage of his career he'd be worth half of what saints want.

And if Rice was in France or Spain playing for a mid table team he would have cost Arsenal half as much at most.

 

[bluestevon]

Spend weeks actually bidding for left wingers then just chuck a random bid for a right winger - its nothing if not exciting.

Because we've obviously been looking at moving Ndiaye over there is my guess. Failing on that we bring in a natural right winger - which imo is smarter

 

[bluestevon]

I suspect McAtee has turned us down and this is option B.

If Joyce is correct and if we come in again for Dibling then I expect we have moved from trying to talk players who are holding on to come here and moved to players who've said they will, I expect Mcatee will be the next one we bid on,

Itis the lack of structure, cannot sign a certain payer so we change our entire MO for next season squad shape????
