Always wary comparing stats for players from different leagues. He's clearly an exciting talent, but what led Premier League teams to avoid him last summer when he was posting similar numbers?

Agreed, although this feels like the type of analysis we would use as a club. He's twice as good as Tonali and only a quarter of the price, let's get him in.

I like the championship for buying players no issue with it at all. The kid might be great as well not being negative, just what he looks like and from what I’ve read.

Like I say, I’ve never watched him.

I might get that pattern on a t-shirt

Just pay the £20m

Just pay the £20m

That’s what ya,ll said about Dibling.

Dibbo Szn incoming

That’s what ya,ll said about Dibling.

Then we paid £40m

Doesn’t sound very Moyes.

Sounds a bit like young Barkley? Who Moyes didn’t trust at all tbh

[74Blue]

Sorry, just cannot get excited about another exciting young talent rotting on our bench because Davey doesn't trust him. Absolute waste of £20m if Moyes never plays the lad.

[Shogun]

Palace spent £20m on Wharton a couple of years ago, so seems about right. I can't imagine a championship side (one that have been there a while) can really afford to just let a player run out his contract and leave something like £15m on the table.

I wouldn’t feel great seeing him as part of a three, but as a ten I’d really like it.

We don’t have anyone like him in the squad though and desperately need good footballers in that midfield over players that can run and tackle but not do much else.

Yeah push him up the pitch. He looks great fun. Skinning people and drilling through balls into the strikers feet? A lot bigger than I thought as well.

Honestly I thought he was a little pass pass pass guy and he’s not at all.

Will say - I think dibbster could skin people and run with the ball from the ten?

"He won possession back 205 times, the seventh-highest figure in the league, a reflection of his work rate, anticipation and willingness to graft for the team."

Sounds very Moyes. Haven't seen anything of him either. We're lightweight in the middle but if he's winning balls, along with Garner & Tim and clever enough to work in with KDH then it sounds OK. Half suspect Tim was initially used to ensure Gana didn't trigger the extra year but might have suprised Moyes a little. Room enough for all 4 (& Charly?) if they're good enough.

[StirlingBlue]

He’s basically a young KDH, if he comes he’ll definitely be rotating in the ten and not partnering Garner in the double pivot.

Obviously a talent and a good price but I feel there are higher priorities for us - depends how much budget we have this year
