Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Ragnar]

The amount we've bid, plus the timing, plus Paul Joyce reporting it and calling us Ev, suggests to me: Phantom Bid - i.e., the club making it look like "see, we tried".

It's right out the William Kenwright wheelhouse this one.

Take the tin foil hat off mate.

Funny that for countless windows we have posters smoking down about Everton not buying young talents etc. then we go out and buy Barry Aznou and now linked with Dibling and it’s all about how we should have got PL ready experienced players!

It’s the fear of how much budget we have I think and what has happened in the past.

Take the tin foil hat off mate.

Time is a flat circle.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Never seen the lad kick a ball.

Didn’t he - predictably - have a boss game against us? Don’t think he did anything else.

Everton, that, etc.

 

[DayL08]

Seems we have moved onto our second choice. People whinging this morning that we didn’t have a plan B. This is it.

Now moaning about a scattergun approach. Seems logical to me - another highly rated young winger

I get that we are naturally a negative fanbase (me included) but let’s give it a rest for a bit.

We had some good times though. I know that as he told us so.

 

[beachy]

Wow amazing prospect, one of the best talents in English football.

 

[bluestevon]

erm, just random wings though - we either have budget for both wings at 30-40mil PLus or no transfer/squad strategy

Its nuts mate

I think we prioritised one winger of the best quality available we could attract mate, be it either side with the idea that Ndiaye is capable of playing both.

Hahaha.

 

[RomanReigns]

We are a bit short on their 100 mil valuation

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

If this kid played in France/Spain, at this stage of his career he'd be worth half of what saints want.

Yup. But suppose 1 season of Branthwaite and we wanted £70million (I know other factors).

If he’s as good as they think, we are a good move for him. He’d be stupid to crave CL and sit on a bench for 2 seasons. And if he came here he’d immediately be our best right back.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Genuinely, what’s he done to justify a >£30mil figure?
Explain to me as though I’ve never seen him kick a ball in my life.

Wear his socks like Grealish.

 

[bluestevon]

I'll be the first to say I don't want him for his price. Not that he is bad. He is not the player we need right now. At all. If we do sign him, you have to hope he becomes an absolute baller.

He's fast, he's a natural right winger, he's great carrying the ball, he's young enough to develop a lot.

Think honestly that's the exact type of player we need now to have any hope of long term progression

That’s way gone now, they realised no one was that dumb to pay it

 

[toffee66]

It is interesting watching his videos as though he is clearly very naturally left footed he will use his right when he has to do so, certainly more than McNeil does. If he and we wanted to work on that in training I think he could develop his weaker foot enough to really enhance his game.
