I know this season has been an utter shit show and we’re all a bit mentally drained, but this is such a bizarre take. 

This is an 18 year olds first season playing regular men’s football, in what is likely going to be the worst ever premier league team. He’s clearly got ability and a big future, which I am sure he will achieve once he’s away from this utter shit show.

Id suggest you are better off directing your ire at at pretty much anyone else, including a £20m CB who has been utter shite, an £18m CM who can’t be arsed to play, a catastrophe of a right back, a set of strikers who have shown consistently they are not up to the level, two managers woefully out of their depth at this level and an ownership group that haven’t got a fcking clue.

Focussing criticism on one of only two bright spots this season is odd behaviour.

I think it’s a case of I  can’t connect with the guy as aintforever said he’s just gonna be another rat that deserts the sinking ship.. he’s never looked like he’s gonna stay with us and his future isn’t here so I’m not sure why you think he deserves a special treatment for being 18 yo or from the academy ?   Couple that with he hasn’t really made any impact bar a couple of tap ins or a few dribbles with no end product  he just seems completely overrated .. sulemana looks more dangerous or like creating anything then him since juric has been in charge .. I’ve got more time for players that actually might contribute for us n the championship next season

I think wewill be lucky to get £20-25m for him, he is potential only at this stage. When he goes on one of his runs he is a delight to watch but when he is just wandering around it is frustrating. I also am amazed that he doesnt wear proper shin pads, a mistimed tackle and its good night nurse.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone buys him and loans him to a Championship club for a season to further aid his development

Erwink61 put it perfectly. My take is what a stupid post. As for stats, nobody can assist when the tactics mean that there's nobody ahead of them to assist. 

Your kinda missing the point though .. I’m not saying he’s the worst player . Just the most overrated .. he might be a great player in the future but it won’t be with us .  There’s no reason to fawn over a player that won’t be here next season and  that his only contribution is a few dribbles with no end product .. sulemana gets a shit ton of criticism for the same thing

He has had plenty of good end product. But if your end product is good and the player you pass to is shit at this level it does not become an assist no matter how good the build up is. That doesn't make it Dibling's fault.

[gio1saints]

Tyler Dibling is one of our best players both actually on the pitch now and in future potential. Watch him as much as you can because he’s gonna leave end of season. I remember watching Theo’s last game for us with a foreshadowing awareness that another good un was leaving us. Same with Tino. 
 

The two others are Mateus and Aaron. They have all shown they can play high EPL level. Mateus will be a top international al player shortly imo and Aaron is already one of the best English goalies anyway. 
 

The rest of the squad and the tactics have simply been not good enough for them. 

[disconnect]

Problem for me is his fearless style has evaporated a bit in a losing side. On Saturday his confidence seemed to massively increase later in the second half, but only when we started playing better as a team - he doesn't have the confidence to do it on his own at this stage in his career. It could well of been that he started playing better and the rest followed (we were obviously trying to attack more at that point, so probably goes hand in hand).

The difference between him and say Fernandes, is that Fernandes continually looks good (or at least more positive), whereas Dibling can disappear a bit. Tyler is a very talented prospect but think he's been hyped a bit too early which may have gotten to him. We'll miss him when he's gone.

Away at QPR when we lost 1-0 (I think Quashie missed a penalty). He was anonymous in that game, marked out of it and made little to no impact. He really should have stayed with us for longer, I think it would have benefited his footballing career but obviously not his bank balance. 

[kitch]

Tyler Diblings greatest strength this season has been to deflect attention from the real jewel in our crown, Matty Fernandes.

Don't get me wrong, TD is a real talent and the ceiling's as high as he wants it to be, but this season has done him no favours. Playing in a toxic team hopelessly out of its depth; having excess pressure and expectation heaped on him by media and fans alike - he'll need to be strong minded to put this behind him. Hope he does.

[revolution saint]

His form has definitely dropped off and probably because of a combination of age, loss of confidence playing in a team that continues to lose, and also opposition teams figuring him out a bit.  Loads of young players dip off in form after a decent start and the same happened with Tino so I don't think it's necessarily something that points to him not fulfilling his potential.

Important move coming up for him though.  I don't think a season in the championship would do him much harm but realistically he'll be off both because we'll be counting on the money and it'll be hard for him to refuse playing at a higher level.  I hope for his sake he picks the right club that will play him regularly and not expect the finished article immediately.  I don't think Spurs is a good fit, too much expectation on his shoulders and I can easily see him struggling to get much time on the pitch.  Personally I'd seriously consider offers from Germany - away from the limelight a bit but still a very decent league that has demonstrated it's a good place to develop young talent.  Plus if he gets the right club then European football too.

Yeah, you'd hope he and the people around him would know that it's vital he builds on his PL appearances, with plenty of first team minutes wherever he ends up. Whether that's:-

joining a Spurs/ Chelsea (again) and being loaned immediately out to a strong Euro side/lower PL outfit, 

Joining another decent PL club (the high price we want being offset by the remaining contract length).

Joing a decent Euro club direct.

He's a regular PL starter (albeit for us). So needs to build on that, rather than drop down levels.

It's perfectly natural for the form of someone his age and experience to fluctuate, and to drop for spells. Handling the minutes, development and expectations is so important.

SR are happy to promote talent into the first team. Partly, that's through showing them that path when they join. However, they have little to no experienced cover in place to compensate for the expected rises and falls.

Tino faded before getting injured. Broja faded. Lavia may well have picked up injuries too. In all cases, first team picks. Despite having clear drop offs, when getting some rest could have been beneficial.

Dibling has played a lot. As mentioned, in an utterly rubbish set up from top to bottom. He'll have picked up loads of valuable experience, both good and bad, to learn from.

Totally agree. There IS a case for him playing another season in the Championship with Saints but it is much weaker than the ones you’ve shown which all are upwards career trajectory rather than, technically , backwards a level. Only thing I could think that might make him stay is the reason he came back from Chelsea. ..if that still exists in his head …But it’s so unlikely now he’s that much older experienced etc it’s not worth seriously holding out for that. 

He should join a club where there are other good players around him, not for him to be the immediate stand out player. Go to Bayern or Dortmund for example and I think he’d do very well.

Yes, I think this is relevant. He obviously makes some wrong and seemingly selfish decisions but at least he's trying to make something happen alongside some rather inadequate teammates. In other better teams he'd be getting more rest too.

Still, an assist for TP to add to his stats. He looked better coming in from the wing in the final third: earlier he was being double and triple marked but couldn't take advantage of the space that made.

Let's face it; it's only him and Fernandez who lift the crowd, along with Sulemanna before he loses it!

I’m saying £40 plus add ons. I’m sure a lot of clubs are watching him closely and appreciate the X factor he possesses and how he has been overused in a dreadful team with two successive bad managers. Caveat: if he goes to Newcastle which is a strong possibility then your £25 will probably be nearer the mark.

That would be wonderful if we can get that figure. I watched MLT in his early days and was a big fan and had many a debate why he should play, with many saying he was a luxury etc etc. I dont feel TD is anywhere near to him at that stage and whilst he does get you off your seat , a couple of passes forward get us off our seats this season lol.

[Saint Billy]

When Dibling realises that there is just as much glory to be found in assisting a goal as well as scoring one he will be a very good player 

[hypochondriac]

Personally I think Dibling would greatly benefit from a season in the championship but he's obviously going to move on in the summer and we will get a load of money for him so you can't complain too much. 

[suewhistle]

He almost certainly will move on but can you imagine him in an environment surrounded by brash Scouse or Newcastle fans or even most Londoners. Perhaps whoever suggested Gemany could be right?

Not sure why you guys are aiming so low we shouldn’t take under 50m imo didn’t we get 60 for lavia ? I’m not diblings biggest fan but being English attacking player  and the hype and grealish comparisons should probably make dibling worth more

If he managed to get most his shots a foot inside the post instead of a foot the wrong side, he’d be on his way for huge money. As it is, he’s all fart and no shit for me. Looks good in flashes but skinning a player then losing it or shooting wide isn’t helping the cause, and neither is the lack of work rate

My guess is £20-25m. Those 'getting off your seat' moments have been few and far between after a much-hyped first couple of games of the season. Not convinced about his touch, not convinced about his fitness and not convinced about his decision-making (shoot or pass). Yes, he can move on for £20m.

That's a shit guess.

That's basically what we paid for Sulemana two years ago.

Last season we paid £20m for THB, a centre back that had only ever played in the Championship, not an attacker with a season in the Premier League under his belt.

We will not sell Dibling for anything like £20-25m. Will be closer to double that or he won't go.

We won't have long to wait to see how much we get, CB. He'll be off in the summer.

His touch is good, his balance better, his fitness is what you'd expect of a lanky 18 year old who probably hasn't reached physical maturity and his decision making is probably his weakest aspect but again I'd point you to his lack of experience. Other teams already recognise his potential by trying to stifle it by quickly closing him down. There'll be competition for his signing.

Agree.   He does need to develop a fair bit still and I think that would be a good place as might Holland/Dutch people place because it's technical but a bit less physical meaning he'll still face a challenge to do the right thing but will have a bit less pressure which will give him time to learn to make better decisions.

As I said…unpopular 😂

I’m not sure a tight promotion end to the season would have been a particularly nice environment to bring in a 17 year old when quality players like Brooks were available. Diblings performances this season don’t immediately translate into last seasons games so it’s not as simple as saying ‘he’s good now so should have been playing last year’. 

I also don’t think many managers would be trusting an 18 year old and a young kid in Fernandes in their first season in the prem when their job is slipping away. Especially more so I don’t think many would set the team up for them to be central to it. Dibling has played more minutes than any other 18 year old in the league this year. He’s obviously very good and one of our better players but I don’t see many other managers trusting their talented kids like Martin is and I think the way we play allows them both to play their natural games rather than something against their nature like a Sean Dyche (just an example) team would. 

Anyway, it’s unpopular and unprovable so I’ll just let it get shouted down and stop there and I’ll bring it back up when the manager does change and we’ll see how any new way of playing suits them. 

Wrong about the game time but rest of the points stand. Suspect he's suffering from a bit of a burn out and the challenge of being a known talent now but his biggest set back is the team around him being utter shite. Either he's not playing with a striker or he's playing with one thats really bad. He's only got Fernandes to link with and unlike the previous manager the team doesn't have any patterns of play that are designed to break them into space. I find it frustrating that he's clearly spent quite a bit of time playing centrally before coming into our first team yet none of our play now is designed to get him into those areas. Totally get why he doesn't defend from there right now but he's asked to stay wide and just do his trick of running with the ball. His best stuff earlier in the season came from being asked to roam from wide positions and move centrally if he felt it was right. Now its just to stay wide, link with a 6'7 striker who barely holds up the ball, barely wins a header and barely creates space for himself. No wonder Dibling finds himself losing the ball a lot.

Thought he'd stay earlier in the season even when relegated but not so confident now. Much better environments on offer I suspect.

[Hodgey]

Some really odd stuff here, this boy has clearly got a lot of talent and crucially has already shown he has the physical attributes to thrive in the Prem, which is where most players fall down.

He’s going to the top, he’ll be twice the (impressive) player we have in a few years time. he’s worth £40m and I’m pretty sure that is what we will get (yes structured but that’s fair enough). 

The no end product is an odd comment given we’ve just seen him create a goal on Saturday and isn’t miles away from our top goalscorer.

As for form, 18 yr olds are simply not ready for a full season of Prem football, especially not when all attacking expectation falls on them. He’s done really well this year but has already been overplayed.

 

 

 

[Charlie Wayman]

Dibling has become the straw for our drowning man. Too much is expected of him too soon. He may well become a decent player in time but at the moment he is nowhere near the finished article and certainly not the next Ronaldo or Messi.. 

The best advice for him is to stay put for another season and toughen up his game in the lower league. Problem is that his agent will exaggerate his potential to the player himself and to PL clubs out of pure greed. Jumping out of the frying pan now could land him in a raging fire and ruin his budding career.

Yes, we have seen it all before with past academy "stars" who disappeared without trace.

Anyone that doesn't understand Dibbling is a top top talent in the making really doesn't know much about football 😅. He started the season as an 18year old with no senior football under his belt - and he immediatley had some of the world's top defenders either scared to close him down or he was going around them for fun - Gvardiol didn't know what to do with him when we played Man City away ffs!! And he isn't just a speed player, he's about skill and power - neither are going to be leaving him for most of his career and in fact will only get better - he's already got great feet and can bully fully grown men physically at 18/19 - he carries the ball with ease, shows no fear at all, and is already contributing end product in what is quite literally one of the shittest top flight teams english football has ever seen. The kid is absolute class - I can't imagine what he'll be like once he's physically matured and has had a few more years learning how to use his bod. If we could somehow convince him to stay, sign a new deal, and have a new team built around him it would be the best business saints have done since they signed VVD. Its extremely unlikely sadly, but then a year playing week in week out and dominating the championship (which he certainly would bar injury) wouldn't be a bad thing for him - it did wonders for players like Lallana and Grealish. For certain players it lets them hone their own style and develop a lot of confidence which they can carry into the next stages of their career. And Grealish might also be a good example that moving to a big club isn't all its cracked up to be.

Hope he stays, but if we sell him for less than £50M and a sell on clause it would be bad business.

Ad to that, that all he has achieved has been with the worst team ever in the PL, plus a club that is rotten to the core, plus the mentality in the club. It must be near on impossible to flourish at SFC with the state we are in. So, I would expect he will do far better in a well run and coached set up. Clubs will know this. For me he is minimum £40m.

He also has very few quality senior pros( esp forward players)  to learn from, which is always a problem.

Spurs preparing bid for Dibling, on bbc gossip. Although gossip most of the players on the lists end up getting transfer and or to the team stated. I can see him going to Spurs and will estimate £25m to £34m based on the fact Saints have to experience of selling and buying players in last few seasons.

It shouls be more than that, Sulemana was £22m with less big league experience without the English premium in the PL. Tyler has a higher ceiling. Prices have gone up over the last 2 years as well plus Newcastle are rumoured to be very interested and can blow Levy out of the water. And the two German giants as well.

It shouls be more than that, Sulemana was £22m with less big league experience without the English premium in the PL. Tyler has a higher ceiling. Prices have gone up over the last 2 years as well plus Newcastle are rumoured to be very interested and can blow Levy out of the water. And the two German giants as well. 

We have overpaid for most of our dross though. Imo he should stay on for another year with us in the championship and get some more experience and some confidence boosting after playing in losing games 9 times out of 10 rather than bench warming for the likes of Newcastle.

The club would probably prefer to sell if he’s not going to sign a new contract though, a year in the Champ would be better for his development I agree but if Newcastle, Spurs, Bayern or Borussia are waving £50-90k p/w plus a chunky signing on fee for a 5/6 year deal, that will be sorely tempting.

 Yes, he can move on for £20m.

Blimey. He's not done a great deal in recent weeks, but I think everyone has seen enough to know we have a real talent on our hands and that kind of money isn't anywhere near enough.

Talk to me about who you would be spending that whole £20m on?

Spurs want Rigg of Sunderland, £37m being banded about - £20m for Dibling is way too low.
