Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Marcus Kendall]

….reminds me a bit of Chris Waddle. More languid than pacy.

Waddle was a player though, underrated compared to a John Barnes of his era for example

 

[Moomin]

If he was interested in joining us he would have thrown in a transfer request and gone on hunger strike until Southampton released him from his prison cell to join us.

Jib him off.

Saints supporting mate:
"he's really talented but very lazy, never runs without the ball. Hardly played second half of the season."

Ahhh. Right up David Moyes’ street.

Great job scouting team

 

[PeregrineT]

Makinga second bid immediately after the first looks a bit desperate. This isn’t an auction. Best to let the seller wonder for a few days if a new bid is coming and drag it out.

Yeah, I figure its like dating, waiting until the next day to not appear TOO interested is the real reason...

We have no idea whether they need to sell or not. A bidder for a house never knows. The seller will always want to have the impression they have no need to sell (regardless of truth) and the buyer will always want to give the impression they have other options (regardless of truth). Have you bought many houses? Buyers and sellers always want to give the same impression to the other regardless of their position. The seller will always appear offended by a low bid.

Doesn't change the fact, if their valuation hasn't been met, they won't entertain the offer.

That's why his team was relegated.

Moyes will whip him into shape.

There’s always pressure because they know the longer this goes the less time they have to spend the money and replace him. We also have time pressure. It’s just a basic negotiation of seeing who blinks first. We’ll probably wait until Monday to make another bid or we may be looking at other options. It’s not an eBay auction.

So you genuinely believe that if Everton play the waiting game Southampton will collapse in a panic and do a cut price deal? Personally I don't think making a bid soon after is particularly desperate if you want to get a deal done. Going above what the buyer considers the genuine value is desperate.

There will probably be a delay as you say due to their being other irons in the fire. May well be a couple of other bids on the go so see how it all pans out before escalating any.

I don't think Southampton will worry too much about replacing a squad player. For their needs there are far more options going into a Championship season and they likely already have a list as long as their arm of sub £5M players.

In fairness £30-40m to a relegated team on top of their parachute payments will enable them to build a team that will almost certainly get promoted.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Paddy Boyland is crazy mad quiet on this.

Tbf by the looks of his socials he's actually having some time off in Chicago. Think they're off a cubs game the jammy buggers.

"Last season, he scored two goals from nine shots on target, notching every 937 minutes. That is a long way behind Beto's 191 minutes per goal or even the 537 minutes managed by the much-maligned Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Dibling caught the eye with his close control last season, but after a hot start he faded in the malaise of Southampton's season, and a dribbling success rate of 47% was middle of the road for the two squads.

For instance, Illiman Ndiaye offered 48.5% and Dwight McNeil 53%. Dibling's shooting accuracy was below his potential future team-mates too.

However, while the numbers do not suggest a huge improvement, Everton would be buying great potential, and filling a significant hole in their squad."

Talent 5m
Potential 20m
English Tax 15m

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Don't want to be dismissive but it's hard to judge his performances last season when he played in an absolutely atrocious Southampton team that was going down from day one.

Think this is one you have to trust the data analysts and what not that his underlying stats and traits would make him even more effective in a more dominant team.

Also as long as the lad doesn't have an attitude, works hard and shows some resilience there's no doubt Moyes will develop him.

Could deffo be our Bowen - and if you believe the hype he's got an even higher ceiling

 

[MrGrumpy]

They've rejected £35mill...so its not gonna be less

They rejected 27

 

[Ray Purchase]

Silly name, average ( non goal scoring player) and overpriced.

Avoid.

They've got a good coach too, be interested to see how Will Still gets on down there
