No

No offence  @Midfield_General but you previously thought my suggestion to play him was not the way to go. Now you agree he should be involved because he’s our best right side player. Which is it? 

No offence taken.

Play him because it will give us a better chance of beating Ipswich on Saturday, because he’s our best player in that position, and even if he has an average game he’s probably more effective than Adam Armstrong or whoever. 

Not because if he plays he’ll definitely show the world he’s a super duper £45m player and it will make Everton or whoever come running to sign him. 

Being the best right wing option for a championship team doesn’t necessarily make you a £45m player. It just makes you the best we have available.

fair enough, but the alternative view is that we possibly have a superstar at the club, who showed exactly that in the first half of the season and you don't sell them for buttons, even if they didn't show it the entire season, and even if the lad won't commit to a new contract at this point in time. 

As for the negotiations, who knows if it is true that we have gone back to Everton. Might be total bullshit. For all we know Everton have come back with several new bids this week. When a big move is in the offing, so much bollocks is written. Think back to the Lavia move and there were journalists suggesting deals had been agreed at various points at all kinds of prices.

Yep. All true. Stating the obvious, but what it comes down to is what people value him at based on what he’s shown and what they think his potential is, and everyone is going to have different opinions on that. 

Personally I don’t think an offer of £35m + £8m + some sort of sell-on is buttons for him given he’s not signing a new contract, and if we need to sell him to buy as appears to be the case then personally I would probably have taken that rather than gamble on getting a few million more but also possibly seeing his value drop if we don’t sell him this window. 

But I don’t run the club and as a fan I’m not close enough to it, and others may disagree and think he’s worth more, or the gamble was the right one, and of course that’s fine too. The club obviously thought they could get more, either by pushing Everton up further or because they thought there was other genuine interest that would mean more of a bidding war.

They may still be right. The truth is we won’t know until the end of the window. Interesting to see how it plays out.

Personally I too don’t think an offer of £35m + £8m + some sort of sell-on is buttons for him given that he has only 2 PL gpals and 2 U21 Caps

Completely fair and valid alternate proposal. 🙏. 
Personally, I think Ipswich would be more frightened if he played than if he was kept away. Personally I think our team for Ipswich - and everything about the situation from a Saints pov - is better for him being at worst on bench than left at home. I - and most fans I suspect t would love to see a team that has Tyler, JR and Mateus all playing at same time against a top opponent- which Ipswich away certainly is. 

I don't want us to play someone who doesn't want to be here, and the version of Dibling who showed up for the latter part of last season isn't scaring anyone.

Personally I wouldnt play him as TD may not do himself justice or get injured. No doubt the Ipswich players may target him so that he cant be sold to strengthen us this season.

I guess we might see him on the bench on Sunday but more likely he'll be left out of the squad this week.

[Coastal]

Being selfish I would like to keep him for another season as I think he has the potential to develop into a top top player.

On the other hand, I do think we are pricing him out of a dream move to Everton and are holding him somewhat to ransom.

After the 2nd half of last season, I dont think he is the type to get his head down and work hard if he isnt 100% commited. For that reason I would snatch Evertons £35m offer and reinvest the cash in 2-3 solid signings to help us get back up.

Free the boy and then back the manager in the market.

CALM DOWN !

[gio1saints]

We sing a song for Mateus. Deservedly our most applauded player. 

MAYBE, at Ipswich, Saints fans can show Tyler he IS wanted as a Saints player. By the fans if not seemingly as by the Club. 

He may be mentally gone already - BUT if there was still a chance or any doubt about his departure ( which there probably is not so this is a Hail Mary idea), loud support for the lad, from the terraces, might influence both him and SR. 

Saint sold excellent exciting to watch young players like Alan Shearer, Gareth Bale, Oxlade Chamberlin, Luke Shaw, Theo Walcott and Sadio Mane in the past before we really appreciated the nascent quality they had.  I’d be happy to watch teenager Tyler play just this season and let him join a bigger club next year just selfishly to watch that extra special generational quality he has- in a Saints shirt. 
NB . I’m not interested in the money. I’m interested in watching potential world class talent we have play at our club before I only get to see him playing on the TV in the CL for a big club in a few years time.

👋 @Crab Lungs

Sperstyan and Rudoni seem good footballers in positions we are weak in.  

Dibling on the other hand, is the closest thing to MLT I’ve ever seen for Saints.
 

Objectively, what he probably needs - and sadly it’s been ever thus for Saints - is to be surrounded by better players, in a better team, and in a better league.
 

He will get kicked the shit out of this season for sure playing Championship. Do that in the EPL and VAR will get players sent off. Do it in the championship he will just get injured. 

Every logical thought says he’s going and he is right to go. It’s not if he’s going it’s simply how much. It will dismay sentimentalists like me but that’s the state of this shitty game nowadays. There’s no more heroes nor can there be - only transients that wear the shirt for a season or two then depart.

I saw a young kid bogged down in one of the worst PL teams in history. Anyone would drop off.

I think people look at him and say he can't be arsed because has a a bit of a Richarlison look about him - i.e. he never smiles, and just glides around. But that's his game. Obviously when a team is struggling that is heightened and it looks like he can't be arsed, but it's just the style of player he is.

I feel some re-writing of history going on by saying we'd be better without him. We wouldn't.

If he didn't want to be here he would have handed in a transfer request.  Financially that can only affect him positively by getting a bigger wage elsewhere as I doubt he has any contract terms that will cost him money on his current one.

How many Saints fans do you know who think the club is asking for too much money for our players? Actually, how many fans of any club would normally take that position? 

Maybe I’m wrong and that Everton really is a dream move for Dibling…

[macca155]

He came on for 10 minutes, and was immediately surrounded by three defenders, he was hardly going to have much of an opportunity today, but still nice to see him on the pitch.

Defenders are very uncomfortable around him, as he is unpredictable. Certainly a mercurial talent.

It's all potential and it remains to be seen whether he becomes the player we all want him to be.  As Gio says, the horrible uncomfortable truth is that he needs better players around him, and crucially protection from the ref.

Lots of ifs in Tyler's world at the moment. I suspect we'll see a different player once things settle down.

I don't give a monkeys what some delusional fans hope he's worth. I prefer to look at his real world valuation. 

He's 19. He showed promise in the first half of last season. He went to sleep in the second. He seemingly doesn't want to be here. His contract is running down. 

The £50-60m that some fans think he's work is big club money. 

What big club do you say need him and would play him? I can't think of one. 

That leaves clubs outside the big clubs. Everton are one of them. 

He has a long career and can hopefully fulfill his promise. He has much more chance of doing that at a club who'll play him. No?

Everton would be a cracking move for him. A decent manager. No real chance of relegation. Playing opportunities. More wages. 2 or 3 good seasons there, then he's a £50-60m player for a big club.

Jacob Ramsey a 24 year old proven PL player with around 150 appearances has just gone for £40M. I get it that TD has lots of promise but my god have we seen much of it in his fledgling career. He may be a £100M player one day but in our situation and at around £35-£40M or whatever it was I’d take it. Everything is a gamble and who knows who’ll be right come May next year

He got quite a muted response when he came on today. He's definitely divided opinion.

He was pretty much closed down by a couple of defenders as soon as the ball went to him today. I'd like him to start against Stoke because if they do that, it'll create space for others.

Excellent and thought provoking post pal.

Dibbers is simply not worth the fee our board are holding him ransom for and we run the risk of losing him on the cheap next summer which is barking mad.

We should have snatched Everton's hands at £35m with add ons and put a sell on clause in for good measure.

That kind of cash could help us bring in 3 good signings to push us on this season. The squad needs bolstering yet some fans want us to hold onto a lad who didnt want to know 2nd half of last season when the going got tough.

Not surprising. Some are disappointed he hasn't signed a new contract, some think he is pushing for the move and even though many understand this is just football business, it's hard to think lik that when you have travelled to support the side.

I absolutely love watching him in a Saints shirt. He's a rare talent.
