Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[bluestevon]

It was always gonna be close to £50m. No idea why we thought we could scab this on the cheap.

Move on, quickly as well please.

My view is how much this will impact other business if we do go higher, but if it's more over structure of add ons then maybe bite the bullet

If we keep waiting till the deadline we'll get him on the cheap.


Or so I am told.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

If they have genuinely rejected a bit worth up to 43m then move on

We need to start finding players in the 10m to 20m range.

Damn, why did no one else think of this

 

[bluestevon]

A deal worth more than 40 is one of our biggest ever. That can't be a signing for potential or a developmental player. That needs to be for one of our best players otherwise the deal makes no sense.

I guess it's do we view this lad as a generational talent or not. The bid suggests we really do rate him massively highly

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Seems like posturing from Soton. If the player wants the move, what we have offered will be enough, we just maybe need to structure the deal differently.

Think it'll come down to how realistic and achievable the addons are

The hilarious thing is if we’d put this bid in a month ago and realised we couldn’t afford him then, we’d have had another 4 weeks to be able to move down the list

We don’t know what we are doing.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

45 million is a lot of money

 

[Jebus_lives]

Think it'll come down to how realistic and achievable the addons are

They'll be wanting a bigger share of a sell on or more up front cash.

 

[Ivo]

Bidding against ourselves just like the Sigurdsson transfer

Think Leicester matched our initial bid, which is why we then offered more.

 

[Kirkles]

Over 35m feels a lot

It doesn't in the current market

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Unless of course we've bid 35 plus 8 on account of him winning a ballon dor

 

[Ragnar]

This will get done. Journalists are always a little behind. A couple more mil and this will be sorted tomorrow or Wednesday

 

[TheNinja]

Sigurdsson 45m years ago seems utterly mental. I mean, it always did.

 

[Houghty19]

There comes a point where you have to walk away, this is getting a bit like the sigurdson transfer where we just kept paying more and in the end got stiffed by Swansea.

 

[faddy the blue]

The fact his name rhymes with dribbling must add $5M surely.
