Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Exeter_Gently]

Give the something to think about here.

 

[sandman77]

A bit frustrated with the negativity.

He is 19, very talented and has had a lot of admirers. Has shown glimpses of what he can do in the PL, even for one of the worst teams ever.
We know current prices are insane.
He is currently on very low wages (5000), so this equates to quite a few mills over contract length. (5 year contract 40k vs 100k equates to 15 mill less in wages f.ex)

Worst case?
In 3 years time, he´ll be 22.
If he is subpar, we will recoup 20-30 minimum.
If he stinks the place out, we will recoup 10-20
If he is ok, we will get our money back with interest.
But most importantly, if he can develop his talent as is expected, we either have a world-superstar or at least double our money.

Besides the mental pressure, I really dont see the problem here. This is EXACTLY the kind of signings we should be making, combined with a few experienced pros. He has the X-factor, is young, english, fearless. The kind of player that will make you stand up when he gets the ball.

Doesnt mean the investment will pay off, and will for sure be off-periods.
But then again, no guarantee Kubo would succeed either, and he is much older, and much less likely to provide a profit later.

Also baffled that McAtee or Fofana are considered safer bets, they have hardly a bulletproof PL track record and are practically same price. Our current position dicates we either gamble on talent, or go for second-best established players. Both are gambles, but young players retain value better, and can be developed more easily.

I am over the moon that we are even in the race for these type of players, its a gamble i would take 8 days a week.

I remember when ppl used to say stuff like this when Mosh came in and we were splashing money all over the shop.

Then we couldn't buy anyone for three years and had to sell the family silver.

I think the difference is if players like Dibling don't fully pan out, then you're at least positioned to recoup a decent chunk because he's still young. Maybe we wouldn't see 40 mil back, but 25-30mil after a couple of average years? Probably not to difficult.

With those you mention, they were never going to move again for any real money, even if they lived up to their price tags...Which clearly they did not.

Hes likely to break our transfer record.

If he flops we will be lucky to get loans for the next 4 years, not sure 30m is achievable.

But hey, lets hope the people in charge know what they doing for once.

For the record im not against this signing, its risky, for a lad who has done zip IMO, but hey, its the right type of signing we should make, so heres to selling him for 150m in 3 years.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

What's the big deal about the fee as if he does sign it will be disclosed anyway.

Both clubs will make sure the fee is well known, but yeah, 100% undisclosed.

 

[MikeH72]

I dont think we should spent 50m on this kid.

But, its not my money.

Only one clip but if KDH gets back to his Leicester form, I can see them bringing the best out of Charly and Barry.

Creativity and ball carrying. Anything that puts an end to 30 years of hoof is a win for me

Was hoping to catch a few fish with that 1.

We overpaid for Iceland, but we got goals from the boy, winning goal at Anfield.

My issue with this is if someone fails at City, Chelsea or Utd, when they're splashing money with a huge squad, they get some cash back. If someone fails with us it's much tougher.

 

[MACCA75]

We should absolutely be briefing about Armstrong being worth £100 million like Southampton did with Dibling. Suspect talking up his price was part of the plan.

I'd loan Armstrong there for a year, with guarantees, to get it done.

 

[Jebus_lives]

If you cant figure that out. Then im sorry, I cant help you.

I'm not sure you can call Wirtz unproven.

 

[Vaughan]

We have shown we have 40M to spend now, so what price do you think then lot would want for Doak? Or McAtee, or anyone else for that matter.

would rather Doak or McAtee tbh

 

[Blue_Berry]

Fair enough, I think it’s more the frustration at witnessing decades of false dawns. Wears the best of us down.

This is true, and I feel that too. New owners and new expectations, but it's still the same game of 4 dimensional chess to play.

I agree. I think this guy is safer bet than Fofana or Mcatee.
