Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[cronullasharks]

I swear every time I open this thread his price has gone up another 5 million now there's sell on fees too. By tomorrow they'll want Branthwaite thrown in too.

 

[Fonzy]

We haven’t walked away , yet !

Well no perhaps not but will need the player to force the deal now

 

[Lanolin]

I must of missed them all

That seems highly likely.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

No it will need the clubs to haggle out a final position.

Dilane Bakwa .

I'm in just so we can sing this.

Bakwa Dilane for the renegade master.

Looks decent, good pace, two footed. Not worth 45 million.
Same as Grealish. Big bucks and not the player we need for a counterattacking style of play

Only at this club could our crack team of negotiators actually make the price go up with each bid rather than come down. Clowns.

Neither have the ceiling Dibling has

I will say that I think people are underrating Dibling, he's a top top prospect and for me levels above cheaper options like Fellows and Doak.

Issue I have with this is more optics, don't want other clubs to see us being bent over by Southampton when we still have a lot of business to do.

I’d rather have them 2 for £25m combined than Dibling for £40m+, which appears to be the point that was being made

I don't think you can say there is no plan just because players don't want to come to us or clubs want an inflated transfer fee irrespective of our budget. I think its very unusual for any club even the elite ones that have it all to offer players to not have this same sort of shenagans every transfer season. The agents create the idea of chaos to generate interest and to max out offers for their players.
The plan from what I can see is, we need X, Y and Z type players and then you try and strike a deal with a shortlist of names. If the player doesn't want to come because they prefer the glamour of London or they want champions league or just because our club has been a shambles for 20 years......I don't think that can be blamed on the new team I charge and stating they haven't got a plan. This transformation will be a slow grind and we best all buckle in, time will tell but so many things need to improve for us to start getting top quality players willingly coming to us for the right fees.

Isn't knowing who wants to come and who doesn't want to come a fundamental part of having a plan ?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Let it go.

It's over.

 

[Dykovski200]

Forest bought Elanga (who turned us down) for about £20mill. Sold him for £50mill. Bought Hudson Odoi for about £5mill.

Can be done.

And majority of our fans turned their noses up at both of them.

This lad does looks good tho

Thread ban please mods.

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.

Spot on.

It's now McNeil playing on the right against Leeds, what a complete mess

 

[Nymzee]

Can't say we aren't willing to spend if we were gonna do £45m on this kid.
