Rumours are £42m. For someone with one year left on his contract and who cost us nothing, can't argue with that and it doesn't sound like scurrying back to me.

Big question is what we do with the money. A winger? An attacker? £10m buys a lot in the championship.

He had two years left for what it's worth, we triggered the extension up until 2027 a while ago.

He had 2 years left, didn't he?

[Willo of Whiteley]

£40M for a teenager is excellent. Bags of potential, but still enough time in his career to screw it up like many other young English talents.

He WANTED to leave. Therefore we’re better off without him. 

I hope he doesn’t get homesick. 😂

To be honest, am ok with this. It's how we re-invest the fee that is now going to define our season. 

[Lighthouse]

Good luck to the lad, hope it works out for him. The fee seems reasonable, especially if there’s a sell on clause, he’s still got a lot to prove in order to justify it. Hopefully a modest chunk of it can go towards a decent creative midfielder.
 

On a separate note, I think we can put to bed the discussion as to whether a young player is better off at a club like Saints or Chelsea. Jimmy Jay Morgan was last seen on loan at Gillingham.

Tyler played a blinder with the 'homesick' card to get out of there

[Badger]

Shame to see him go, and doubt that Everton and Moyes are a good choice but that’s his look out. 

Certainly  can’t blame him for wanting out of the club the way it’s been over the last few years. 

[stevematthews635]

Really quite ambivalent about him going.  Huge potential but still very much a work in progress and hasn't shone dor Saints in some time.

I actually think, right now, Robinson looks the better prospect.

That being said, I'd rather have Dibling than the useless twats BbD, archer or armstrong in that position. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Wishing him all the best for a successful career.

We benefited financially from his return from Chelsea, and also in watching him in the first half of last season.

it reflects well on the club, and it's development of youngsters, to see another talent move on.

That said, it's disappointing that his development couldn't continue with us at a higher level, before moving on to an even bigger destination. 

[Teamsaint1]

Think Everton will be very pleased with him and the fee.

incidentally, what happens to the  add ons if Everton sell him before they are triggered ? 

[SNSUN]

I hope he achieves his potential for his sake (not for Everton's) and while we lose another prospect, at this moment in time I'm happier with the pure profit... so long as we invest it in the first team. Money in the bank does nobody a favour... except SR of course, and that would just confirm what we mostly all already think of them.

Thanks Tyler, one of the only bright spots in a shit season. Huge gamble from Everton but that's not our problem.

They'll give us a fiver as conciliation.

[Kenilworthy59]

Feels a bit like Theo Walcott to Arsenal. Went too early and never achieved his full potential. He made it as a decent footballer, but with better handling and attention to key aspects of his game like shooting, he might have been world class.

[CylonKing]

THE DUGOUTS HAVE GONE TYLER, FOR GOODNESS SAKE. YOU'RE TOO LATE!

Best for everyone I think. Wish him all the best, Fernandes and Robinson much much better players. We need a striker, what's that Danny Ings up to these days. Has Rudi Skacel signed yet?

Fk him.

[davefizzy14]

Good luck to Tyler. Was really hoping he would stay. One of the best talents that we have produced from our academy.

Good luck to him - he was a Saint. Now he’s not, so the only thing on my mind is whether the funds will be invested wisely to increase the overall quality of the 1st team. If Spors signs someone for the future now I think we’ll all give up!

[sockeye]

Good luck. Will be good for him.

[Whitey Grandad]

Never really got going here. 

Good luck and I hope it works out for you. Thanks for the money. Let's hope we spend it wisely.
