Tyler Dibling

His management have had a shocker.

What is the point of sending the poor kid back to a division that you convinced him would be detrimental to his development?

He might as well get career advice from Prowsie.

They achieved their objective of getting a big pay day. 

People on here will tell us it was worth it because he could get a career ending injury any time and needed to chase the money. 

He clearly should have stayed with us for a season

I'd rather we had the money to sign Fellows/Azaz/Scienza/Jander/etc.

Sitting on Dibling for another season would have been mental.

Dont know if there’s anything in this. However if Preston are in for him, should we be too? I have to say I’m ambivalent to it but if it was a low cost loan maybe it could work for all parties

Does anyone actually read beyond the clickbait headlines? They’ve quoted a former scout who reckons he’d benefit from moving to PNE due to their links with Everton.  Zero suggestion there’s a move on the cards for Dibling, which there won’t be.

He'd be in the same position, watching from the bench and getting 15mins every other game. He doesn't have the work ethic to stake a claim for the rwb role.

That's a harsh reality fact, that is very depressing. Love seeing youngsters come through the ranks. Dibling made a big mistake moving, he was nowhere near ready.

As he was playing silly beggars, the club rightly cashed in, and replaced him with Fellows and Scienza, not to mention Robinson already on the books.

Such a talented player, but he is in danger of not realising that potential.

In contrast I still think selling Ballard was a mistake, that boy is a goal machine once he gets going. Reminds me of Steve Moran a little.

Wasn’t Ballard injured ? Or am I misremembering as usual 😀

Yep, recovered on our time, scored goals for fun in the under 21s, sold to Orient ..... 10 goals in 15 matches.

Wished we'd loaned him.

Bear in mind that Charlie Kelman scored 21 goals for Orient last season and has managed two for Charlton in the Championship this year

Of course, nobody knows if he would have scored goals for Saints in the Championship. However I think he was a safer bet than Damian Downs. A lot cheaper as well.

Anyway good to see him playing and scoring.

He would obviously be in the azaz role on the right wing, not at rwb
