Dibling has shown nothing that demands that Moyes should be selecting him ( rotation or otherwise) and even less to justify a fee of £40 million.

Honestly someone's head should roll for agreeing that fee.

Yep, if we going to spend £40 million, it has to be someone who walks into the starting 11 straight away.

AFCON comes then Gana & Ndiaye are out.

KDH could drop back to replace Gana.
Alcaraz to replace KDH in the 10.
Dibling for Ndiaye.

That’s why Dibling needs game time Zat.

Why does a young 19year old player need to justify a £40mil fee so soon?

He's not a similar player to Bale. But if he has 2 goals and 2 assists in his first 2 seasons (as Bale did) then what?

He'll be 21 then and may follow a similar trajectory.

At that point he'll be unattainable.

So is Ndiaye worth less than Dibling?

Because thats his competition on the right. When AFCON is on hopefully Moyes has already given him minutes so he can start games - or we have no right winger.

Im glad we have him. We have to plan for the future

Wasn't Bale a full back in his early career?

We do indeed but someone is comparing goal outputs of different positions to justify a weird argument. Bottom line this club isnt in a position to have £75m worth of summer acquisitions "not ready".

A £6m one (when we were paying £11m for Yak) too boot.

4th in moyes most expensive purchases. Its an interesting list. Some great signings. Some real turkeys though. Mostly west ham.
1st juan mata
2nd kudus
3rd paqueta
4th dibling.

By far the youngest though. And for that reason its a work in progress.

Sell in Jan (take a haircut if required) or loan to Tranmere.

You appear conflicted.

He will get better, he will be a top player, he will play for England.

The question is only if he does it all at Everton or goes elsewhere.

One is sarcasm, sorry.

tbh I'm just amazed at how football fans can pass judgement and effectively discard a 19yr old player. I'd remind people of the masterstroke signing of experienced, straight in the team, Rondon. Maybe not as expensive as Dibs but I'll never get rid of that lumbering memory.

I'll give the lad time and would welcome such signings in future, 'cos it gives you a future.

Surely we need him when NDiaye is at afcon ?

What a panicky lot we are still.

Moyes has said several times over we couldn't attract the 'ready' players, so we have potential quality instead.

Or we could do a Moshiri again and sell them at a loss of course.

It's not like he has Jack Harrison ahead of him - NDiaye is one of our best.
