Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[NeilMorepies]

25% sell on? GTF

Annoyed Division

See zhegrova and weah are both on the move and therefore off the table.

They could have been names down the shortlist underneath dibbling.

Be very interesting what plan B would be now. I think we've probably backed ourself into a corner and will have to cough up.

Annoying i'd hoped the vicar of dibbly would be in in time to play v Roma but I can't see it now.

I don't believe he's played since a friendly in mid July

 

[longers]

I saw someone on reddit say he has a worse goals/assists per minute ratio than Jack Harrison did last year

£40m for Dibling, then 12-18m of getting him ready for a transfer to Roma for £45m

 

[navidson]

I like Southampton and wish them well.
I also like Dibling and want to get him if we can.
But the reported insertion of a 25% cut in any future transfer makes this a deal breaker.
Move on to other targets now.
Wonder if £50m gets you Bowen?

Seemingly

He played in a 60 minute behind doors friendly about 4 days sgo

He did not turn up for training today ... but he is way overpriced -

 

[catcherintherye]

Why would he not be at training because he's been given permission to speak to us, even though we pulled out, makes zero sense

If the fee is 3.5m the difference, I wonder if we have made clear we won't budge so it plays out this way. Maybe he foregoes his fee due, and we throw a million on the add ons?

The more I think about it the more I think Southampton’s counter off is designed to get the player to hand in a request. No loyalty payment and gets more fans behind the sale.

 

[catcherintherye]

Nah Mcatee is the one with a year remaining - hence city asking for a similar fee to Palmer is equally ridiculous

I wonder if they are silly we may try and do a bosman for him?

Stats can prove anything

Sometimes people forget to watch football

Any bum on the internet can Google goals and assists and claim that player x isn't as good as player y

Does my nut in

People use trophies won nowadays as an indicator of whether a player is world class or not. If that was the case Scott Carson would be in a premier league all time XI

erm no.

 

[Cjplennon]

Better to move on now (if sell on clause true).

Can't help thinking Moyes 'we're desperate' soundbite will makes things even harder in this window.

Understand his frustration, but beyond stupid for someone with his experience.

I think anyone with any common sense knew we are desperate....didn't need Moyes to spell it out for them!!

but wouldn’t others?

 

[catcherintherye]

I don’t understand how Everton can pay more than €45M for an attacking player with these stats: 38 games, only 4 goals and 3 assists. Sure, he’s only 19, but I think you could sign young talents from La Masia — who aren’t breaking into Barça’s first team — for much less. What do you think?

They wouldnt want to come? And honestly, how many of them are ready for 35 games for a very poor PL team?
