Hardly the same, Patterson came to us from the SPL, the equivalent of League 1. Dibling played over 30 games in the Premier League last season. If we didn't think he was good enough in those games we shouldn't have bought him. Moyes needs to build up his confidence,not his strong suit like Dyche before him. If I was a young talented player looking at how Dibling has been used, I wouldn't touch Everton with a bargepole!

If this is true - and I've no reason to think differently - then it seems like a mis-use of funds by the club, spending a large portion of the transfer budget on a player that isn't ready for first team football. I'm all for bringing in young players as I feel the league is as athletic as it's ever been, and we needed legs, and Dibling isn't that kind of player. I hope he comes good, and I'd prefer to see him given 10 minutes instead of mcneil, but Moyes is not the man for developing young players.

As I've explained above it isn't true, he has Premier League experience, Moyes just doesn't fancy him. He's given him about 2 hours to prove himself and then given up.

I agree with you in that Moyes isn't the man to bring any young player through and we should never have bought Dibbling if the manager isn't going to play him.
Personally I think given we already had close quarter dribblers, we needed someone able to stretch the game with pace instead, or someone who can score goals.
Hopefully, but if he goes 4 months with 5/10min cameos before Afcon, will he be up to it by then, or even trusted.

Moyes will probably play O'Brien at right wing instead

I suspect we might have seen more of Dibbling had we not had Grealish in the squad. Dibbling isn't getting in the team ahead of Ndiaye any time soon. I might have expected to see more of Dibbling from the bench, but I'm sure he'll be getting more minutes when AFCON kicks in.
He’s never shinning under Moyes and if Moyes is still here next season, he will get another experienced wide player if we don’t get Grealish, Dibling could be in the same position in 12 months.
A lot of pressure on Moyes, because not picking the new young signings and we end up 14th/15th, that’s not a good look and won’t go down well with the owners imo

He’s had two good seasons. PSG and Fiorentina.
Judging him so early this season is unfair too.
Not saying you’re wrong about his ability but if you’re accusing other people of revisionism you should at least be both accurate and fair.
I said he'd had one good season in the 4 years since he left us. The PSG season was before that, so it wasn't included for fairly self explanatory reasons. I'm also not judging this season as an entirety, I'm simply stating the facts as they stand. Finally I didn't say anything about his ability at all, I was responding to someone who was suggesting that he'd left us and shortly afterwards started to do really well by pointing out that this isn't actually true; he had 3 not very good seasons after leaving us, then 1 good season, and there are sufficient question marks about this season for it to be unclear whether that good season was him blooming or him just having a good season. So in short, if you're going to 'accuse' people of not being accurate or fair, you should probably have at least some level of understanding of what's been said.
