2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[Efcjake]

No . But he ain't worth £40 million

There's definitely some paying over the odds for the potential we see in him.

 

[davek]

He hasn't, but again; it was his first league start for us.

Just a little but of patience before writing young lads off is all

He's had a lot of game time in the PL and LC.

Itls enough to form an opinion on. I dont see it. Happy to be proven wrong, because we wont be buying strikers again in a hurry.

 

[scd-94]

Hard done by to be brought off, didn't do much wrong and the whole team was off it first half

Yeah, think he was replaced not for anything he did but for the gaping hole in midfield caused by Ndiaye playing in the 10.

He'll be fine with a bit more time and, eventually, a proper right back.

 

[Mr Happy]

60-70m buys a top striker or winger

We're not spunking it all on one player.

 

[Joey66]

Hard to judge playing in a completely wrong team selection by DM ...

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I think he’s a wait and see. From what I saw today he looked fearful for the first 10-15’. He disappeared a lot. He seemed to be dispossessed quite a bit. And he also seemed to get pushed around like a feather. Despite playing for the PL, he could’ve benefited from a loan spell. I know we were desperate for a RW. I think Dibling would be on loan at most clubs. I wish him the best but he’s raw and needs time.

Jeeezus, relax.

We CAN NOT buy a team of 27 year olds, we need to invest and develop.
It will take time, some will succeed, others will fail. Being patient and supportive increases the chances of success.
Writing off players after a few weeks is not helpful.
Dibling was anonymous, but showed glimpses imo. (Barry was really poor )
Point is, whole team was terrible, and that shouldnt be put on the new kids.

Great post, the lack of patience and instant judgement on young players is ridiculous

 

[SteStocksDJ]

He should be coming on when we’re 2/3-0 up with 20 to go and being told to enjoy himself.

Starting against a palace team that’s conceded 3 all season before today was always going to be difficult. Once he’s up to speed he will be fine.

Barry’s my worry. He looked well up for it first game or two. Now he’s like a rabbit in headlights

 

[Drago]

I don't understand why we paid so much. For the fee surely to an extent he should be making an almost immediate impact.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Plenty of time to come good but you do wonder if he's the same as what we already have. I really wanted a speed merchant.

 

[Nyhus]

Still early days, but im a bit surprised at how hesitant he seems to go forward at times. Still have high hopes for him.

 

[southbluey]

Seemed too neat and tidy. Fearful even. Needs some confidence to go try things.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I could almost hear him apologizing to the defenders for getting in their way and saying here, you take it. I want him to work out. But he’s got to show some fire.

You’ll see in time. He has massive potential.

People need to realise that fees have changed massively. And people pay even more for potential than they will for a fully developed player now.
