Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Kevsleftpeg]

Moyes had better deliver results to hide his incompetence

The front of you calling Moyes (or anyone else for that matter) incompetent when it comes to football completely blows my mind.

It seems to me that any time we try and "flex our muscles" with another club and try to prise their biggest asset away, then the relative gap between us and them just isn't big enough and the selling club can just inflate the fee and generally draw things out and delay.

This is particularly the case with domestic clubs. It's no bother when we're trying to take players off Man City and Chelsea to lighten their squads.

So we either overpay or waste valuable time, or both. For a club like Soton too, it's like why would we sell to you and why would he go there.

For sure you won't know till you try and we might yet get Dibling but if we don't there is a chance we lose out not only on him but on someone else and that's where the big problem lies. This is less of an issue when you're buying from abroad and as such at the start of the summer I would have been wary from the off in getting into such protracted deals. You have to know your cut-off point and stick to it rigidly.

We've already reached the point where there should be a cut off point. We should have decided whether to move on or do the deal. If we can't get Dibling then we need someone else and the list of alternatives will just keep getting smaller.

This idea that deals will suddenly become better value as we get closer to 1 September doesn't make any sense and isn't based on anything. It only applies for players who are no longer wanted by their club.

I think he was referring to the chant at derbies in the 60's. Yard dog. Yard dog. Yard dog Yeats

My father told me a story it was an away game in the mid sixties and a dog ran onto the pitch
And and all in unison the Everton fans started chanting Yard dog Yard dog Yard dog Yeats

Will see shortly if he's in the Saints squad or not today.

Imagine being considered a yard dog in the 60’s. Would love to see that fella’s highlight reel.

It would be a very short reel. Anyway, Dibling, time to move on now I think.

What on Earth is your problem with this deal? It's literally £1m per year. You bring it up constantly. Proper oddball behaviour.

@Manx Blue posted in part:
A couple or three million is not an insignificant amount, it’s a lot of academy, infrastructure, U21’s etc etc cash flow.

So @Nymzee as you can see, the £4mil Travers signing is directly related to their post.

Don't wish to be pedantic, but if Moyes DOES deliver results, then that would strongly argue that he's actually competent, rather than hiding incompetence, and the team as recruited for 25/26 is, in fact, good enough. Does depend on results, as you say, though.

Again, 2 separate areas.

Moyes is a competent coach
This window he has been incompetent.

I wonder how many Evertonians youve slated since you came onto this forum.

I reckon you and @Eggs would be good mates.


Aside from this online 'character', at what point do we call the Dibling bid a fake one?

 

[Verbal Kint]

Vardy in, with Chermiti out on loan, I’d bet my life on it.
No way he’ll stick with just Beto and Barry.

My thinking is he would gladly get rid of Beto if he had a quality replacement lined up

Sometimes it’s better that one holds their tongue (or fingers in this case) and allow people to think them stupid rather than speaking (or typing) and removing all doubt.

I honestly deluded myself that with this group of new owners we'd have had targets identified before the end of last season and in place for a full pre-season with our strongest eleven on the pitch to face Leeds. Some mug I am.

As long as he doesn't score today (drive the price up lol) or pick up a bad injury
