Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[Super Ken McNaught]

Kid looked a decent prospect last season in a poor side, but I think the offer Everton have made is pretty fair - would have thought £30m plus some add-ons gets it's done.

 

[tadpole]

We can't be that desperate can we ? He's an exciting young player, but I don't see anything in his playing history or his highlights video to justify a price tag much over £15 to £20m.

 

[Kirkles]

If Joyce is correct and if we come in again for Dibling then I expect we have moved from trying to talk players who are holding on to come here and moved to players who've said they will, I expect Mcatee will be the next one we bid on,

We won't go for both , Mcatees in talks with Spurs.

Got a bit of Chris Waddle about him

 

[TheNinja]

Would prefer Doak for just over 20 really.

Another huge outlay for a young player.

 

[bluestevon]

This one I assume leaked by the club…

Lots of potential, very good dribbler. Very young, wouldn’t be a clear starter from the get go.

Given we have NO right wingers I'd say he would start mate

 

[blue to the bone]

Come in late in the window with bids that have no chance of being accepted. It's like Bill is still at the helm.

Late in the window

I’d bet a tenner McNeil starts the first match in that position, regardless of what others think of him.

From my Soton season ticket holding mate:

“He has all the skills, can be electric, but got injured and wasn't the same in the second half of the season. I hope he gets his mojo back, I won £100 off his first goal so I'm a fan. Best position is Attacking central midfielder.”

Is he worth the hype? Can’t say I noticed him at all last season.

 

[DanB90]

Just browsed a Southampton forum to see if they had any views on Everton bidding for this lad. There wasn’t a mention of us , the last two pages of his thread had people arguing about if he was on the autism spectrum or not. I thought this place was a bit mad.

And what was the conclusion?

 

[bluestevon]

19 years old and only being playing senior level for 2 seasons. Ridiculous asking price but what do i care when we need players so badly.

How much did Gordon go for and how does he compare in games....

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

If this kid played in France/Spain, at this stage of his career he'd be worth half of what saints want.

This just isn't true though. Promising 19 year olds go for that nowadays. Martial, Yoro, Hato, Tel

Ive never seen him play or heard of him until about 2 months ago. Naturally I'll be calling for heads to roll if we don't sign him by tomorrow afternoon.

Yeh, asuming this bid means others have been cancelled
