Transfer Rumour Tyler Dibling

[NeilMorepies]

That plane which was meant to be flying from Southampton to John Lennon Airport this evening has instead departed Southampton for Inverness this morning, yet the flight from Southampton to John Lennon Airport is still scheduled for later today.

Not a problem

Dibbly leaving Southampton for Everton.

I’m guessing the latter

I actually forgot to add the rather obvious possibility that it could have been intended for Dibling, before being cancelled due to no agreement being in sight.

 

[NeilMorepies]

Should get Dibling over the line then buy Fellows just to annoy Saints for being massive bellwhiffs over Diblings fee.

The whole point is they want a replacement in before they sell.
We will have given them a few days to sort one out.

Make an agreement with the player for when his contract runs out, he improves his game, becomes more experienced and we get him for nothing. We then have an outstanding player for the future, we think ahead, oh and then buy their replacement, Fellows from Westbrom, he will do for the next two years and further piss Southampton off. Job done.

Can't see any player making an agreement now for 2 years time - especially with Everton. Never heard that thos has ever happened. You can bet if he was on a Bosman we could not be getting him.

If that’s true and he’s doing no contact training they’re obviously petrified of him getting injured and scuppering any deal.

25% sell on would not be standard. They can have a huge sell on and a low fee, or £50m and a tiny sell on. Never ever both. The buying club has the upfront risk of the huge fee/amortisation, potential injury or failed development, whilst diluting any possible upside? Southamptons only risk is that he is better than Messi and we sell him for £250m, they then wish they’d held firm. They can avoid that risk by keeping him and giving making him their highest paid player, but all other risks back on them. They can’t avoid any and all possible risks by trying to make many millions of £ profit based on what happens 3 years after they sold him. Well they can ask, and that is their right, fair play to them.

The fee on its own is wince-inducing, but almost acceptable if we want to go a bit mad. A chunky sell on would be fine if we pay them £30m. £50m plus 25% of any future profit is a counter offer designed purely to be rejected. Be interesting to see why, and what we/they do next.

Well yeah as I said I don't think it's worthwhile for you at £50m as the risk reward ratio lands on the wrong side.

£40m and 20% would have been a good compromise I think. You could have sold him for £100m in 3 years time and still banked £48m of the profit.

I don't necessarily disagree with your general point but we're within our rights to reduce our risk with it and fight for the deal which suits us best.

Especially as it's not like we're desperate to sell, we've got another player we can get £50m for and by all accounts we're happy for Dibling to stay and take a lower fee next year. If he's pivotal in us gaining us promotion then he's earned us more than we lose anyway.

Won't stop him from diving though probably

Should get Dibling over the line then buy Fellows just to annoy Saints for being massive bellwhiffs over Diblings fee.

And then sell them Fellows for 50 mln with add ons and 30% sell on

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

The whole point is they want a replacement in before they sell.
We will have given them a few days to sort one out.

In which case the real flex would be to let them announce Fellows, and then immediately unsettle him with bids.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

dunno if these are like our crap everton twitter accs

Playing hardball but kinda tipping their hand there - tells you they see him now as a walking bag of money rather than a potential option for their opener on Saturday, and are protecting him accordingly.

That plane which was meant to be flying from Southampton to John Lennon Airport this evening has instead departed Southampton for Inverness this morning, yet the flight from Southampton to John Lennon Airport is still scheduled for later today.

My guess would either be that they need a different plane for whatever reason, or that the flight had absolutely no relevance to our attempts to sign Tyler Dibling.

God bless this fanbase and all who sail in her.

 

[Black Panda]

I still think this happens for what it's worth and a compromise is reached. Too close for it not to in my view.

Worth noting we have a fans forum tomorrow so the club may have been wary of being seen to compromise too much in public before that.

 

[greener]

Fully on board with pinching Fellows to wind Saints up

Absolutely the way to get the players we want, annoy everyone ?

Saints will sell, for as much as they can get.

Slight chance they'll do similar as they've done in the past. Offer contract extension with the promise he can leave if they aren't in the top 4 by the next window (Lavia turned it down 2yr ago but it did get Chelsea focused).

Dibling is different from most of the examples tossed around, he's younger. Still think he'll go for a bit more than most on here would like but hey that's the transfer market today. We'd still more than break even in 3yrs time as long as one of his legs doesn't fall off.

The same plane hops around the uk all day.

I do think people keep forgetting the value Vs risk for each club. Lose 15mill off his value but get promotion? No brainer.
