Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Mickey]

It's clearly bad news that we won't get Dibling because we now still have no right wide player even though its the most important position in the squad. And all other clubs know we are absolutely desperate.

But you just can't agree to a deal like that. It's clearly bad value for the club and also would set a precedent that we will roll over in negotiations.

The problem is that we left it far too late to try sign Dibling. Now we are in big trouble.

It's also another clear piece of evidence why waiting to August does NOT result in better transfer value.

We didnt wait till August we tried to buy Fofana and Kubo. They turned us down we cant hold a gun to their heads.

Contrast what the Bobble said yesterday evening mate.

Maybe at time it was true but soton clearly don’t want to sell

 

[hktoffee]

Sky will look at that in a completely different way to Isak at the RS wont they.

Sky are the six’s honey darling.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

The thinks he’s prime Messi with that.

I’d move on.

Yeah
But who to ?
We have failed to land any of our previous targets for this position.
I think we will complete this purely because we have nowhere else to go .
It’s been too public an auction now .
Their valuation hasn’t really changed , so we probably knew roughly what we would end up paying.
I think we will settle around £45m plus add ons but drive down that reported sell on fee (if true) .

 

[bluestevon]

I think we've already moved on.

Mcatee back in play then!!!!

I mean let's have it right, they can ask for whatever they want. Let's not get all like United fans last year getting furious because we wouldn't bend over for them and give them Branthwaite for what they thought was a fair price. I think it's too much for us to be paying, but if they don't want to accept what we've offered then fair enough.

I agree with the point overall. I think it's just the way it's been played out in the media. With the Branthwaite chase it was clear from the start that we had a set price for him to be matched. With the way this saga has played out, it has appeared as if Southampton have shifted goalposts on what that price to be matched was. Perhaps that's the media doing that rather than Southampton though.

I will take great pleasure in seeing Southampton not get promotion

 

[DanEFC92]

Mental price for him.

What we get for leaving it till now to do deals.

 

[Aries]

Is this a wind up?

Another who has outed himself as being totally clueless about football.

 

[trueblue84]

It’s ok lads there’s 10 days left to register for the Leeds game. Let’s take our time and make sure we get the right player.

 

[MikeH72]

A meticulously planned and executed transfer window by our team of trusted experts.

 

[maccavennie]

Thats a deal Everton simply walk away from. 25% sell on, on top of a fee worth up to 50m just isn't the right deal.

Let's hope we have someone else lined up for that right wing position.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Like every single sell on clause is

There are sell on clauses for straight sale value and sell on clauses for profit over the initial fee.

 

[millow1878]

Will be funny if he refuses to sign a new contract.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We didnt wait till August we tried to buy Fofana and Kubo. They turned us down we cant hold a gun to their heads.

We waited to August to try get Dibling. Or at least the last day or two of July any way.

I'm not sure trying to sign players who were never going to join everton is a great excuse for them. At least with Dibling it seems he wanted to join Everton. But we could have got into these negotiations with Southampton a month ago and knew this deal was not feasible.

Unfortunately now we are 10 days from having to register a squad for Leeds and they still haven't got moyes a right sided player.

I think it's unacceptable to be honest. Have no faith they know what they are doing.
