Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[bluestevon]

….just watched this and he does have promise, bit of young Grealish;

You know just how high I rate Mcatee mate, this lad has the potential to be much much better.

 

[bluestevon]

I just don't get it with him. I don't really know what I'm meant to be looking at that this team needs, especially now Grealish is here.

Not sure how anyone can watch that video and not be excited about how good he could be when they end product comes

By age 19, Jack Grealish had 37 PL appearances. 1 goal, 1 assist.

I mean, you're using stats from right up to the day before his 20th birthday there, which Dibling is 6 months away from being able to replicate.

Let's be fair - Dibling is currently 19 years, 5 months and 26 days old. He has, currently, played 1874 Premier league minutes, scored two PL goals and has one PL assist to his name.

At exactly the same age, Jack Grealish had played 247 minutes in the Premier League and had yet to register a single goal or assist, in fact he had yet to even start a single Premier League game.

There is indeed a gap between the level of the two of them at their respective ages, but it's not what @Milkman is suggesting.

I think we'll offer more upfront to remove the sell on.

He'll end up at Spurs or United on deadline day for less than we have already offered when Southampton realise they messed up by playing us along.

Dwight McNeil has been relegated to 20 minute late cameo

I'm sticking with we will sell McNeil this window

 

[Connor]

I'm sticking with we will sell McNeil this window

I'd be shocked, if truth be told

 

[bluestevon]

that benj lad has said trying to put in one last bid today

I actually heard from someone that we are putting one last offer in half way between our last and their ask last time of, so a 45m one.

Not itk btw whatsoever but heard that before I saw the tweet you just posted

 

[Vaughan]

Got a feeling this happens on deadline day

 

[bluestevon]

Yeah, I get the Grealish comparison, but Grealish at 19 was on another planet to Dibling.

To me, he's just been massively overhyped by pundits to condescend to Southampton fans for the awful season they were having.

Grealish at 19 was playing on loan for notts county who were battling to stay in the football league that season.

Sounds like Soton want it done today either today or never so we can both move on

 

[bluestevon]

At 19 mate, Grealish had played less than half the Premier League minutes that Dibling has, hadn't scored a PL goal and had one assist to his name.

In context, in the past 6 seasons only Saka and Greenwood out of all attacking players under 20 has played as many minutes in a season, only those three registered over half a season of minutes.

Kinda does mark him out as very very unusual

Don't make me dig out that FA Cup semi final video again

If this had legs I would have expected the likes of Joyce or Boyland to have picked up the counter offer stuff this afternoon.

Stinks of sky wanting to keep stories alive.

agreed, soton need time to do things as well, so if we don't get him now, this might be a winter window thing (or as you said, never).

if we say no, we better have a good backup RW option lined up

Dont think its happening at all myself and some people on twitter are playing others like a fiddle
