Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

For them to be knocking that kind of cash back there must be someone prepping another bid, surely?

Or they just know we’re not good at this?

Remember the Sigurdson transfer?

 

[bullybeef]

Getting a tad embarrassing now.

Either pay the money everton or walk away for christs sake

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Not worth it. Honestly he’s got a high potential, but that’s all it is right now. No guarantees he fulfils it.

For 45m I’d expect a player further along in thier development.

Footy maths seems to say otherwise to be fair mate. £55m gets you Elanga, Kudus or Gittens these days, it seems.

£45m, therefore, for an exciting, young, English winger with the almighty PL experience is probably about right. Mad, though it sounds.

Cat & mouse game.

8 years ago under different ownership, recruitment team and manager. I’m reasonably confident that’s not what they’ll be hanging their hat on, mate.

Kubo, Conceicao and Bakayoko were all higher than him on the list

Also possibly because they were cheaper (bar kubo although maybe they thought they could get him for less)

 

[Axlswhk]

50m is obscene. If thats the price go for Kubo.

 

[whiteshadow]

I actually think the price we are at now is pretty fair. Kubo is 50m+. Like PL experience comes at a premium.

We look totally stupid bidding 27m or whatever originally though. Well done Hammond.

Kubo has multiple years of G\A contributions in top leagues ...... Dibbling hasn't even registered an assist in the top flight.

I reckon 40m with add ons is about right.

Whoever is doing our negotiating clearly doesn't have the clout to up the bid.
I can't imagine Moyes is involved - he just wants the player.
I also think Dibling wants to join us if we can agree a fee.
So - for the sake of £2-3m we should pay it if that's who Moyes wants.
Makes us look like amateurs really.
Like hearing Fulham wanted to gazump us over KDH. Fulham ffs. After mugging us off with Tete too. Embarrassing really.

 

[devon_blue]

Yeah it’s almost like you should start planning for these things and putting the feelers out before the window opens, and not get to August and then realise none of your targets want to join isn’t it! What a novel concept for these absolute fraudsters.

Before the window Southampton were publicly claiming £100 million?

 

[Runub]

Are there no other clubs banging on Southampton’s door? If no why given this kid is supposed to be something special

 

[D410]

Our recruitment team have been played , an absolute shambles.

Fraudsters? You're on the brink of Davek outlandishness

If Fulham did, they didn’t though, so blushes spared
