Transfer Rumour Tyler Dibling


I think what concerns me is whether we are being played.

Presumably the club were given encouragement by Southampton that a deal could be agreed at a certain figure. That’s why they’ve pivoted from their initial targets.

We’ve gone from £27 million to £40 million in a week.

I mean, I don’t know what discussions took place with them previously, but you would have thought we were told Southampton were open to doing business at a reasonable figure (and £40 million sounds very reasonable).

With Ornstein saying they will probably reject £40 million, and with United, Newcastle and Villa in the wings, it does worry me that once we reach agreement, we will be gazumped.

Just not sure he gets in those teams, so hopefully he wants first team football. United have just bought Mbuemo and Newcastle Elanga for same positions.

Villa, I think have a PSR issue?
 

There’s clearly been no plan in place and Kinnear lied to the fanbase saying everything was on track. He’s a bluffer like all the bluffers that came before him, a politician, lots of words and very little action.
Or alternatively what he's said at Everton is very similar to what he says during last summer with Leeds as in judge them at the end of the window. Most of Leeds best deals happened in August.

We offer instant first team football…united, villa, newcastle don’t

Equally united & newcastle look like basket cases right now
 
Every deal we do is going to have to carry some risk.. thats the reality of where we are. If a proven top class player was available for a reasonable price, they'd be snapped up by someone else before we even got near. We either take a punt on potential, or pay absolute top end for players just to compete. If we're only interested in deals with no risk, we're going to end up with no deals at all.

No doubt about it, at 40m we would be paying very top end.. but this kid just has it. We have to pull the trigger on this one i'm convinced.
