Transfer Rumour Tyler Dibling


What planet do you live on? A 19 year old player that the Southampton coaches regard as their biggest talent to come out of their academy in decades, is not being sold for an unrealistic low fee that YOU think he’s worth. The upside on this deal is potentially huge. Even if it doesn’t come off as hoped, you’ll be losing little cash if and when we sell him on.

Amazing our fans thinking players we want should have low fees because that suits us, and then want 80 million for our centre half when others come sniffing. Pure bias.
I think Moyes will improve him. Of course he’s young but he had 2 goals and 2 assists last season. 1 full season for Soton. £27m is a fair price.

Someone would leak...hopefully the talks are concluded this weekend.

We get Dibling, Fofana realises we may move on and quickly tells his agent to get the deal done.



Dibling is 5 years younger than Gordon.

Gordon only has 12 caps depsite believing he's a global superstar.

League
24/25 season 6 goals & 5 assists
23/24 season 11 goals & 10 assists
22/23 season 4 goals 0 assists
21/22 season 4 goals 2 assists

I would be very disappointed if Dibling returned these numbers between the ages of 20-24 (beginning the season after this one for Dibling).

In that Newcastle team Gordon should be hitting 23/24 season numbers every season.

Hopefully we land Dibling and he's able to grow into an effective player very quickly and eclipse Gordon

It was comparing them at the same age and the difference in type of player.

When Gordon was 20/21 he played 40 games for us with 4 goals and 2 assists in a relegation dog fight. The following season he was sold for £45mill.

There'll be a huge expectancy on Dibbling which will be unfair based on the price we're going to pay.

Hence why we'll still need another attacker
 
You're right but if it's a choice between young potential and a journeyman I'd go for potential.

That said you do, of course, need a blend of youth and experience.
TFG have cash so now its not that we can’t spend going forward its just the quality ones aren’t interested right now!

So we can start to take chances on promising players as likely TFG taps not going to get turned any time soon
 


Pretty standard stuff really. Both clubs will have a good idea of where this ends up after a bit of to and fro. Leak a crappy initial bid so the selling club looks like they’ve held out for every last penny then get to work hammering out the real deal.

Reckon we get an Ornstein 🚨at some point this weekend, all parties seem fairly happy to go ahead with it.

Isnt this what we thought on Fofana?

I personally don't think Fofana gives 2 hoots about Dibling signing for us.

I think him signing is a pipe dream,I hope am wrong but thats just my humble opinion.

I think Grealish coming in is far more likely.

His agent would tell him that the club who bid for him and could take him to the premier league have just paid e.g £35mil for a 19 year old England u21 right winger.

Fofana will have it explained that if we sign one more wide player then he'll lose us as an option. He'll either continue to wait or come back to us to progress the deal.

At the same age Gordon to compare with Dibling this coming season achieved 5 starts & 6 sub for preston & 1 start & 2 sub for everton.

So if we sign Dibling and he starts 2 games and is a sub in 4 games he will have doubled Gordons output for Everton at the same age.

Season after this Gordon got 4 goals and 2 assists & 3 seasons time 3 goals in half a season before his transfer.

I'm confident Dibling will destroy those numbers.

Why are you comparing the stats of two players with a 5 year age gap and using that as a stick to beat Dibling with? Let’s look at Gordon’s stats at the same age shall we?

At 19, Gordon was playing 11 games in the Championship for Preston, not featuring regularly, and stinking the lower tier out with zero goals and zero assists.

Gordon doesn’t have “blistering pace” either. He has decent pace, the same as Dibling.

As I posted before;

Gordon has better pace but Dibling has superior dribbling ability.

Difference between Fofana and Dibling is the willingness of the player. No point taking things further with Lyon without interest from the player.

Think Dibling has a far higher ceiling, at this moment in time Gordon is better obviously has more experience and has played in a better team.
For me this is a bit of a gamble if it comes off and he continues to get better it will be one worth taking.
I would be made up if we sign him.
