Tyler Dibling

This one always seemed odd. The idea that we don't have a lot of money but would be willing to spend over £40+ million on a relatively unproven kid. At that price (and with the likelihood Saints have also included a sell-on clause), you're unlikely to make much money on the kid even if he thrives, which doesn't seem to fit with the Palace model. The other concern is that Southampton fans don't even seem that fussed. At half the price, I'd love to have seen what he could have done with us, as he does seem to have attributes that would fit our system, but we need a player to play a big role now, not in 12-24 months.

Stats can be misleading but his aren't that impressive. Of course he's been playing in a poorly performing team but as far as I am see he's got 2 goals and 2 assists in 33 PL games (this is from a quick look at a couple of sites so could be doing him an injustice). We could get two £20 m proven players instead and if £20 m isn't enough to get a reasonable player we might as well pack up now.
 
Oh dear! Showing as a Palace player on wiki.
Hopefully gives Mr Parish a kick in the nuts and wakes him up 🤣🤣

I do not like this deal. Is he better than Esse, at £40m he must be a world beater. Wouldn’t Paqueta be cheaper
 
£40m is obviously a bit steep, but boy looks the real deal.

If you could get Dibling and El Khannouss for c.£70m, (so pretty much for the same amount as Eze), feels like we'd be buying quality, depth and real promise for the future.

Looks like Dibling is on his way to Everton now.
Why did we not come hunting in June?

At £40m I’d say that’s for the now not the future, there must be better deals out there. We are not a big fish so we need to be smart. £20-25m is a lot for a prospect. This is the range we should be looking at. For £40m I’d expect someone to walk into our team and be a key player immediately
 
How can Everton spend so much? Only a few years ago they were getting point deductions, the whole ffp is crazy

New stadium big revenue plus sponsors.

The new ownership has full bedded in now.

Look back over the years they sold fair amount of players and when you compare it to incoming over those years they was making fair amount of cash it's only thins year they have spent more (they got rid of higher wage players as well)

Cheating pays, clearly.


They should've been in the championship with that stadium abandoned

Agree they should have been relegated.

They would have still had the stadium and popped straight back up anyway with even more $$$
 
He is good, but will he set the pulse racing?

Everton have proven to be profligate in the market, but not clever. Like West Ham.

I suspect Dibling was always something of a back up and this means we have less comp for our actual target..?
