Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[jazzy]

He played over 1800 league minutes, so over half of those available at just 18 last season mate, only Saka and Greenwood have matched that from under 20s the past 6 years.

If he signs he'll play the vast majority of games this season

Oh he would play , no doubt but he's no where near the finished article.

That's ok provided he plays like a £40 million player straight away. Can he ? That's the question.

Buying a player to develop is great but not when you lash a huge proportion of your budget on them and need them to perform straight away.

Why would he need to play like a £40mil player straight away?

He'll be on a 5 year contract and likely unless sold for a large profit, granted an extension.

 

[jazzy]

He can produce now.

Can he produce as you would expect from a £40 million player now BD ?

It doesn’t matter if he’s the finished article or not, he’s still going to be better than anyone else we have on the right.

That goes without saying.

BIt surely that's not the yardstick that we need to measure the deal by.

£40M is an average fee these days....why are you expecting him to be prime-Ronaldo at 18? Theres lots of players who have moved in the £30M-£40M fee bracket who are either 'potential' or have pretty average seasons. Not sure why we need him to be the finished article immediately....do you think even spending this amount on a player gets us anywhere near the top 6-10 considering what they've already spent over the last 5 yrs and continue to spend?
Spending £40M on players keeps us above 17th these days.

 

[Mr Happy]

For me he's a right sided variant of Grealish. Languid running style, easy on the eye, beats players for fun, no crazy pace. Even the socks !

 

[Brisan123]

Sold!

Who brings the lube and the condoms ?

50-50

 

[Brisan123]

Kubo and Fofana.

First is too dear second doesn’t want to join Everton

Who decides if he is playing at a level that 40m players should be at?

What if he just plays well, could it be said that he is only at the level of a 30m player.

How well a player is doing is very subjective.

If he improves the threat on the right wing, helps create chances, then that will certainly do for a start.

It will be a big move and a big change for a young player, he will need time to settle properly at the club.


If he does sign at all.

Patrick Boyland - one of the best Everton writers out there - must be going some to destroy your trust in an organisation he has nothing to do with.

You forget where he worked?

 

[evertony]

You forget where he worked?

How many centuries ago?

I am sure this is what some Argentinian villager would have uttered when it came out they had a Nazi living in their village.
