2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[jceverton]

Where was this reported mate?

It wasn’t reported, but I did post it on here awhile ago. I heard about it from my mate who’s worked on youth side at Everton. He’s told me things over the years and he’s always been spot on. Most of the stuff he tells me isn’t first team related so I generally don’t post it. Makes complete sense though that TFG would raise it with him, given that Moyes forced the DOF issue as he wanted control of transfers.

People fawning over him nut megging a player against Newcastle.

People now saying oh you must not have watched him last year, as if they have some divine ability to judge a player (who was apart of the second worst ever premier league team - fact) better than others. He was in and out of that side too by the way.

If he was amazing as some posters claim, why did he not start every minute possible for Southampton?

If he was as amazing as some posters are attempting to make out, why did he do very little for them in their worst ever premier league campaign?

The fact that he moved from a relegated team to a team that has been in relegation battles for the last five years, and that no one else was in for him, says everything you need to know. “Oh spurs we’re signing him for 100m” yeh because everything that’s in the papers is true - it really isn’t.

The facts at present are - he’s crap.

The hope is he turns out to be something better than crap.

You cannot bring it to the door of the manager, that it’s some how his fault for not being played.

Absolute waste of 40m when the side had so many glaring issues.

IF what Angus Kinnear says about Moyes signing off on players is true (I personally have doubts) then you definitely can question the manager over his role in this woeful recruitment.

To summarise he’s crap, and we’ve wasted a huge amount of money on him.

Absolutely spot on summary

Lets leave it there because clearly facts and evidence allude you.

Well the recruitment team is Moyes so he’s to blame. As far as transfers he’s effectively the de facto DOF.

100% he didnt get McKinn, Soucek or other short term signings and threw his toys out of the plan as players rejected him.

We sit in 10th and the upside currently of the recruitment is that it is suited to a different manager.

Its the genuine lack of pace for me. Spent £70mill on Barry and Dibbling and none of them can run past a player.

For any technical ability they may have, they wont scare defences or stretch teams. There's not another option.

Id have loved Fofana on the left but we loaned the opposite type of player in Grealish.

Dibling's major asset is that its very hard to get the ball off him. Once hes past a defender theyre done.

Putting aside reservations on him, I think this point is irrefutable. TFG held a meeting with Moyes, several weeks back and raised his non playing of signings with him. I’m sure this will be raised again if he carries on with this approach.

He's so stubborn.

Moyes may well have final say but who is suggesting we spend £30 million on Barry or £20 million on Rohl? Or £12 million on Aznou? Moyes isn’t coming in with these players on his list demanding we sign them.

….sometimes you just have to admit to your judgement being wrong, its not shameful, its what grown ups do.

Dibling doesn’t look like being England’s next big thing, just as Alcaraz doesn’t look like being one of Everton’s ‘greatest ever midfielders’. The fact that there’s a discussion over McNeil or Dibling clearly demonstrates he’s been a very disappointing signing.

Justifiably criticise Moyes for his part in sanctioning a £40m transfer but don’t criticise him for not selecting him.

Clubs like us used to do their homework on players before investing huge amounts of money on them. That homework included scouting, looking into the lads background and finding out the type of character he is. Sadly, Dibling looks short on both fronts.

McNeil was poor, maybe Dibling gets an opportunity next but already it has the same feel as Lindstrom/Harrison or even Barry/Beto. No excuses, if Dibling is the superstar some suggest then he needs to grasp the opportunity.

More unfounded and invented “character” accusations I see… getting sinister now.

….i very much doubt they were questioning the managers reluctance to play Dibling (and Barry) per se, but would be perfectly entitled to challenge Moyes for spending circa £100m on players not deemed good enough.

Thats a significant amount of monies to be spending, Moyes and the recruitment team need to be held accountable. Seems to me that they didn’t do their homework in respect of intensive scouting and finding out about players characters/attitude.

At this stage it looks like we’ve wasted significant monies on poor acquisitions. Can’t blame the manager for not playing certain individuals but we can for his part in buying them. If there’s a debate over starting Dibling or McNeil, then the signing of Dibling has to be seen as a poor one.

Alcaraz cost £15mill, 23 years old, and looks a very capable premier league player. There's nothing bad about that deal.

£40mill for someone who barely gets a look in, is questionable for an impact right now. Hes a under 23 player.

 

[scd-94]

This is fair enough, but I still don’t think starting him against arsenal would be the best way to get him some rhythm. We were bound to be on the back foot most of the game and he’d have a centre back playing out of position behind him.

No I agree on that entirely. But the next 4, I'd say, are about as good as a run as you could hope for to give him a run.

Moyes pushed for removing Thelwell, then unsurprisingly Purdy walked as well. James’s Smith, Moyes’s choice, was on gardening leave from city. Maybe he played some part I don’t know. Ultimately it doesn’t matter as all roads lead to Moyes.

 

[TheBigMan]

Can't believe he's being written off already without hardly kicking a ball. He might turn out a bad signing but can't be judged yet.

 

[PhilM]

His attitude stinks

Personally, I'd disagree here. I think he's a young player, who is a home bird, and if he's not getting game time it may be impacting on his confidence.

I believe he will come good, give time and care, but I fully appreciate the wider point that we've spent £30m+ in development...

...when in reality we need some who is ready now, or at least closer to fitting straight into the XI. Moyes has rarely thrown young players into the squad.

Fair comment. Whatever our differing views are, Moyes is ultimately responsible.

….yep, I haven’t included Alcaraz in my assessment. He was dreadful last night but he has shown bits and is an ok squad filler. KDH clearly a top signing as has the Grealish loan deal. Aznou carried less risk, has shown little form in a few U21 appearances and is still a bit of an unknown.

Saying that, a lot of money has been spent on Dibling and Barry. Barry looks a long way short of what’s required, Dibling nowhere near ‘England’s next big thing’ tag and I actually welcome if the owners are challenging Moyes on those two signings. They seem such a wasted opportunity.

 

[Lob]

I don't know whether he is just bad or is being badly managed tbh. I suspect the latter.

….absolutely. I defend his team selections. He knows his best X1 and 24 points at Christmas is acceptable but if it’s true that he signs off on all transfers, then he has to be responsible for big money failures.
