All I can glean from it is we are edging closer, or its about to fall apart... ha ha who can say , God loves a ITK

Awaiting a breakthrough in talks for 26 year old Tyler Dibling

I thought he was 28?

One thing in our favour I think is I'd be pretty confident in saying we are the best team and highest profile club that would still be offering him the starting spot pretty much every week. There aren't any teams above us who would be doing that, and the teams below us are...below us.

But that's not the issue. Unlike Fofana I've seen nothing to suggest that the player doesn't want to come here.

The impediment is the valuation and us being unable / unwilling to meet it.

There comes a point as well where it’s not even about whether we think we’re over paying for a right winger or not. If Ndiaye goes down v Leeds we have 1 wide player at the club in McNeil. We’re into moving Grealish or Alcaraz from 10 to either side and moving KDH up into 10.

We need 2 wide players ideally before the window closes. I’d rather we overpaid a bit if needed.

This is what Bobble posted on patreon yesterday:

"Firstly, I must still stress that a deal is still there to be had, with Tyler Dibling wanting the move and Southampton being open to selling at the right price. Will Still integrated the 19 year old back into training late this week and the winger has since featured for Southampton during their 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town on Sunday (coming on as a substitute for around 10 minutes). Further talks are planned over the coming days, with Southampton's patience wearing thin and wanting a conclusion one way or the other. The sticking point remains the structure of the deal. Southampton are demanding an approximate £40 million guaranteed (with an agreement almost settled for this) plus add-ons and clauses, which would take the overall deal closer to the £50 million mark. Ultimately, add-ons and clauses are only useful if they are actually achievable. For example, Southampton could demand a £10 million clause if Everton win the Champions League - unfortunately that's not likely any-time soon. However, on this occasion the clauses and add-ons still demanded from Southampton were almost certainties rather than debatable, meaning the deal is effectively around the £50 million mark. This was a valuation Everton felt was too high. Once again, more talks are planned between the two clubs, with the players camp still hopeful that a deal can be struck. I fully appreciate both clubs' stance but the terms of the deal are not far apart (in the grand scheme of things) and I believe if Everton really see Dibling as a future star, this is a deal that needs pushing over the line."

Sounds like its the add ons that are the sticking point.

What I don't understand is, why has all other potential transfers stalled in the last fortnight because of these "sticking points".

A successful conclusion would only make this signing number eight.

Two weeks of nothingness is not a great look when the squad is so thin.

Bournemouth agreed a deal for Doak at £25 million plus £5 in add ons.

Debatable whether the RS would have done the same deal with us.

I think Doak is far better value that the reported deal for Dibling.

They might have told us no sale already, or the player himself
I think he'd be a great signing and it went very quiet, very suddenly around a potential move to us

 

[Simon Buttle]

He wouldn't come here at this stage, Spurs and Arsenal want him

No but we are in similar ballparks with the fee's when we really shouldn't be.

+ buy back clause & 2 cruciate injuries = massive swerve

It a good point.

If you consider the respective valuations they are supposedly only £5 million apart.

At this moment in time there is absolutely no comparison between the players. Eze is by far the better player and possibly always will be.

With Dibling you are gambling on him becoming the next Gareth Bale . It's possible but a hell of a risk.

 

[Blue Parkender]

Just offer Lyon £40m and Forfana 80-90 grand a week and he will come. Much better player than Dibbling.

 

[Jebus_lives]

appreciate it, mole of the mole. Basically layers and layers of leaking starting from the ball-boy to his cousin to his wife to Bobble to Benji back to Bobble and then to you. We should be proud.

Moyes cuts the head of the Hydra and two more grow

 

[atrottel]

There are a few stories about Southampton trying to set up a deal for a player in Germany to replace Dibbling.

 

[Timhowardsswearbox]

@The Booble please confirm

He'll keep us abreast of the action.

Bournemouth seemingly have a very cosy relationship with liverpool, going back a few years, when Eddie Howe was manager there, he bought a couple of Liverpool's overpriced youngsters and it looks like Irola is continuing this trend. Kerkez moved to Liverpool earlier this season, playing Bournemouth nearly always guarantees Liverpool 3 points, which is another nice touch..
