Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Ragnar]

Richarlison was two years older than Dibling when we bought him, and was coming off a season in which he had scored five goals for Watford and none after November. People were up in arms at that fee at the time, and then by about October it was a joke in his song.

The lesson from Richarlison is that sometimes you have to take the punt on a higher fee for a young attacking player if you really believe in his potential. We were right then, and I do think we'd be right again with Dibling.

Exactly mate.

Alan actually said “still a lot of work to be done”.

I imagine.

That’ll be £25.99 per month please.

Then I think I will conduct a podcast starting from tonight.

And say the same thing.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Be nice for the club to state their strategic views...

Not very "strategic" is it? I think they call that blowing your cover. C'mon man.

The fee for removing the splinters from his rear end.
The thinking man's ITK.

if mcatee is going for 22 mil + addons then surely southampton need to be realistic with their valuation

even omari hutchison is going for less than 40 mil

McAtee OOC next summer. TD isn’t.
McAtee not part of plans. TD is.

Guess that’s the difference.

Only if they want to sell him. What's it worth getting promoted back to the PL for them? If they sell him, how much is a replacement who, in their minds, can make promotion as likely as keeping Dibling?

The kid may not be worth £40m+ but if Southampton are looking at this on the basis that they need a replacement whose net impact in the Championship is the same and that's going to cost them £20m, then they may well take the view that it's worth taking a bath on his price next year on the basis that net they'll achieve to be in the same position and push for promotion just isn't worth it.

No bid but Everton hold an interest in the player.

 

[Yarrgh]

Any counteroffers today?

Has he been re-intergrated into training or anything?

 

[Paul Rideout]

I feel like this is the reverse of Gylfi...

They're going to progressively offer him for less, until we say yes or someone else swoops in.

January then.

Here’s the thing - they don’t. They can ask whatever they like.

Lots of optimism in here this gets done. Not very Everton of you.

I am worrying it won't because this is Everton and the back up plan will be Harrison or someone equally underwhelming.
