Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Manx Blue]

We’ve all got to give this kid a lot of time.

He’s an undoubted talent but he’s not the finished article like Grealish.

Same with Barry up top that’s why I’d love us to get in an experienced CF.

Squad is beginning to shape up nicely, let’s judge Hammond & Kinnear on September 2nd.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Wouldn't be shocked to see Ndiaye right, Grealish left and Dibling played through the middle mate either, great thing though is we actually now have difficulty working out exactly where and who.

This. If we don't know, opposing defences won't either.

Had been reading similar for a few days on social media. Vast majority of comments suggesting we've overpaid and they're not concerned he has gone. Always a worry for me that. None of them seem particularly angry about the fact we've bought their 19 year old winger.

You just need to go look at their forums and see what they were saying before we were interested...

"I'm not sure people realise how good he is. The best player we've produced since Bale. We will get 70m for him."

"He is going to the very top, absolute class and head and shoulders above anything else we’ve got at 19 having only played a handful of league games. Classy, rolls Royce of a player"

"He is absolutely brilliant and I honestly believe wouldn't look out of place at any team in the premier league."

"He's one of those few players you look at, and say, ''Yeah, he's going to the top''. These guys have some sort of aura about them, it's hard to really describe - but Chamberlain, Bale etc had a similar vibe around them. I'd compare Dibling closer to Bale than any player we've produced since."

Pages and pages of comments like this. They are trying to convince themselves they're not concerned.

This kid won't need time.
I was listening to the old saafampton manager, he said before the united game, he was sat looking at his phone, chilled as a cucumber. Got up, swaggered out, put in a terrific display. Players were bouncing off him. A machine !! Just seems to have that inner confidence, that will grow playing with Illy and Jack. I have wet sleeves with all the dribbling !!
Great players just.... play.

I'm still in shock we got it over the line, It had a late swoop from Levy all over this deal.

Could you imagine Dyche watching his team line up with Grealish, Dibling, Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall all with their socks round their ankles? I think his head might actually explode!

 

[voodoobloo]

In fairness though, I was never that bothered by Onana. Flattered to deceive. Let's hope Dibling is not the same!

You’re getting the hang of it.

 

[Blue Smoke]

I think the pennies dropped with moyes, now using ndiaye on the right with grealish left. That gives Dibling the perfect opportunity to come on as a sub for a fair few games, on for ndiaye.
The last thing a 19 year old is to feel the pressure from the off.
He should learn a lot from Grealish and Ndiaye as well.

They wanted 100m about 6 months ago.

It’s pure ‘didn’t want it anyway’ psychology.

He would have made them wear shinpads in Tesco’s

They’re the very definition of a selling club, the only decent player they’ve ever kept is Le Tissier. They’re used to this happening.

I read a few Southampton fans disappointed in the fee yesterday, and there will always be a decent helping of copium deployed when a young prospect is sold.

Only time will tell - but we didn’t pay what Southampton were demanding, and the club seem to really want the lad - so we’ll see.

Yeah, they don't do anger as their model is based on a good academy and selling their starlets - and they do this better than anybody.

They are not encumbered - like we are - with a glorious history and former giant-like status that makes every sale from us to the current elite a bitter pill for us to swallow.

When they sell, it's for their future. When we sell (a Rooney, Stones, or Branthwaite), it's a reminder of our past.

Should be at the gym working off some flab and cruising for life partners. Instead I'm watching Dibling highlight vids overlaid with music by The Hair Blair Bunch, Mumma's Kumquat, Thirteen Bstards, Danny Dyer's Chocolate Humunculus.

I haven't been this hard for a new player since James Beattie. Always a good sign. I know talent when I see it!

 

[heatmeiser]

Can we have a PSA pointing out the spelling of Dibling to our wonderful GOT members?

I hear he's very sensitive and seeing these double B attempts is the last thing he needs

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

He sonds a little bit THICK/DIM to me.Let his fooftball do the talking x

I'm sure you would do much better talking to the media aged 19. Provided it didn't involve spelling anything over 5 letters long that is.

That penalty attempt was the final straw for me with him, the kin divvy.

You are of course 100% correct, but that won’t stop some of the impatient bozo’s in our fanbase trying to write him off within 2 games unless he hits the ground running like a prime Ronaldo.

Just look at the Barry thread for example.
