Transfer Rumour Tyler Dibling

[DanB90]

He has refused to train ....

No he hasn’t. Southampton pulled him out of no contract training to protect their cash cow.

 

[blulouie]

According to Bobble they haven’t. He said they were clear from day 1 what they wanted.

Didn't he also say the clubs were around 3mil apart ?
Read it on here i think.

I honestly do think we could have a really year this year if we were to sort what we need to sort with this level of quality.

We are due one and secondly I am just sniffing a few teams who had good seasons last season struggling

Agreed mate, im on record as saying ill be disappointed if we're not in Europe at the start of the 2026 season.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

No other club is buy this kid for £50m.

We are the only club bidding and Southampton want a bidding war.

Or they just have their price

Two different investments.

Grealish is an investment for right now - you look at him and say go on get us up the league and into Europe and make us money next season.

Dibling in an investment in the future, you cost me £50 mill today, but you will make my £50 back + another £50 mill in four years time.

Both investments you ae hoping to make you a return.

Yeh, but the original post was either/or. I understand they both are 'different' investments. It's my opinion that having a RW is more beneficial over having Grealish (who also isn't a guaranteed success) where we have a very good starting player already

Fully understand your point

They are gazumping us - this is when we could have thrown Michael Keane in as a bargain chip .... oh we gave him a year contract - Everton That ....

If we didnt give him a year contract then we couldnt have thrown in Michael Keane.

Get out the sun Joey, go and have a lie down, you are all over the place here.

Get out the sun Joey, go and have a lie down, you are all over the place here.

Southampton is about his ability TBH giving him a deal as 4th choice CB was ridiculous & you know it you go out of the sun .....

We could perhaps throw Alli in?

 

[Zatara]

Have you ever been involved in a deal of 50m or thereabouts ?

We are all clueless about what is happening and one opinion is as good as the other.
Without having a clue as to what is happening then how do you know the club is incompetent?

See my PM.

He has said nothing has changed, we still haven’t walked away. He didn’t say though if we’re still in negotiations or we have come to our maximum and waiting to see if player power and no other club sniffing, changes Southampton’s stance

Interesting...also theyre rumoured to have bid for 2 championship playersn Fellows and Rudoni.

The fee of 50m is unrealistically high, of course they set the price high, thankfully we have not been silly enough to meet it.
We bid low and have increased our offers.
We will see if a deal can be made somewhere in the middle, if not move on.

To push this deal on more quickly would probably require the player to ask for a transfer, refuse to train , say bad things about his club.
He doesn't seem to want to do any of these things... which is to his credit.

We can argue the point on the price.

But the seller has the right to set the price.

It appears as though we have bid blindly 2ce until being told to pay up or stop.

@Goat not sure if he fully understood?

I have no problem with having Michael Keane as our 4th choice CB.

I would have preffered Nesta, but needs must elsewhere.

 

[Joey66]

We could perhaps through Alli in?

He has left us & retired what a bargain he wasn't thanks to BK .....

He was ideal to get rid & Coleman should have been kept as coach & made to do his coaching badges - it commonsense, but its an Everton That moment ....
