Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Pabbers]

Fee seems big to us, as we never really spend this much.

In reality, its not that big at all, even mid clubs are throwing £40 mill or so around.

 

[Blue Smoke]

I could show you a highlights clip of Jack Rodwell that would convince you to pay £60m for him.

Franny jeffers, cadamateri and james Vaughan all looked like they were going to be world beaters as well.
If we get him, we get him, but personally 45 million for a lad of 19 who scored 2, and 1 assist (i think) albeit in a crap Southampton team, is a step too far

 

[millow1878]

you know that the player also gets to play for us aswell and the point isn’t just to buy and sell at a profit right?

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Hill Dickinson Stadium Chiefs is a weird title.

So we said 27M; they said 45M.
We said 35M; they said 45M.
We said 40M; they said 45M.

Negotiating really well these Hill Dickinson Stadium Chiefs.

 

[Papa Shango]

If Transfermarket is correct Dibling has the same agent as Thierno Barry. Not that means anything at all
Anyway, this seems a very expensive player given they have done next to nothing

His value is purely on potential. He does look like he could turn out to be a really good player, the worry is can we take that risk when we need loads of players.

We ruin everybody too. New regime though (kind of) so who knows...

For that kind of money, we should get a proven player (don’t know who).

 

[ToffeeTim]

Lot of different reports and they can't all be true. Can only guess that both clubs are getting different messages out to the media.

 

[salmon fingers]

If we are reaching this kind of silly money, it tells me we will probably run inside forwards with fullbacks providing the width... which would be nice if we had fullbacks that could provide width. It's a bit difficult to fathom we bring in a pacy option to give us a plan B at this point. Have to hope we have extraordinary health this season and Branners can play close to 38 league games.

I think this year looking at the ball carriers we have or players we seem to be going after are all ball carrying runners which suggest to me we will be solid at the back and hit teams on the break no ticky tacky football.

Elanga 55
Madueke 55
Broja 25

Market is mad, but it shows that PSR is not fit for purpose when teams only allowed £105m loss over three years, the market has completely moved on from when PSR came in.

45m, is kinda wild.

Might seem it to us because we’re not used to spending that kind of dough, but looking at those other fees there I’m not sure it is wild. He has the POTENTIAL to be better than Elanga and Madueke who have gone for 10 million more apiece. There’s no guarantees he’ll fulfil that potential so it’s a calculated gamble, but we made a similar gamble on Richarlison for similar money that paid off handsomely.

Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice and take that chance. The upside is potentially huge.

So we said 27M; they said 45M.
We said 35M; they said 45M.
We said 40M; they said 45M.

Negotiating really well these Hill Dickinson Stadium Chiefs.

To be fair they asking for 100 mill according to a few on here last week.

I think we’l agree a deal for 45 mill rising to 50.

I think we are confident of seeing a huge return on him in the future, which is why I think they’ll push the boat out to get him.

 

[Aries]

This is the going rate for players with 2 premier league goals and 0 assists, apparently.

That’s a very short sighted and glass half empty way of looking at it. I’m pretty sure we’re not looking to invest 45 million quid in a 19 year old with the expectation he won’t improve on those stats in the coming years.

Madueke went for an initial £48.5m. Felix (spelling) went for £26m.

Moyes is our manager .
You don’t have to scrutinise the skill sets of our signings to predict the style of football we will play .

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Think whatever deal gets struck it's gonna be undisclosed. What seems to be going on atm is claim and counter claim via journalists for both sides to save face.

I’d just declare every transfer as undisclosed just to wind Sky up.
