Saints supporters have long been berating Sport Republic as an owner that is looking to sell players to make a profit and been demanding that we keep our star men, however it seems that the fan base has had enough of one player.
The Daily Echo reported yesterday that Tyler Dibling had trained alone as transfer speculation mounted over Everton’s interest in signing the him and Southampton’s refusal to back down and sell for below what they see as his market value.
Earlier this year speculation was that Dibling and his family wanted to sign a new deal at St Mary’s, that they as they did when they decided three years ago that he should return to St Mary’s from Chelsea, that getting experience under his belt rather than snatching the hand of the first big club that came calling was a priority.
But a change of agent led to rumours that his new agent was preventing him signing the deal and was pushing for a big money move, the same sources intimated that the agent was putting their commission ahead of the players development.
Now as we head into the season, that seem to be bearing fruit, for the agent at least, as Everton have launched several bids for the player.
But is this a good move for him, on the face of it yes, Everton a club who have just moved into a new stadium and with new owners that are wanting to splash the cash, but that doesn’t make it a good idea for a youngster with less than 40 League appearances to his name.
At Everton the pressure will be on, he will not arrive as a promising youngster, bus as the club’s record signing if they meet the £45 million that Saints are said to be willing to accept.
