I don't think anyone can make a case for spending 42 million for Dibling, but the suggestion that we now sell him, is equally nuts.
We would be lucky to get back even half of the fee, but if we put him out on loan, and with a run of games recovers his confidence, and it shows in his performances, then we might be able to recover a substantial portion of the fee, radical yes, and common sense.

Or just give the lad a chance to play. Selling him would be mental.

How about we finally allow a kid to develop for a year or 2, and then reap the rewards? Hopefully we sign another 1 or 2 future prospects every window, and who knows? Maybe in 2 or 3 years, we are the new Brighton? What would people have to moan about then? I probably should not have asked.

I just hope they don't cost £50m a piece, FBS.
Sending Dibbers out on loan is a good shout if Moyes is not willing to play him. He's not going to do anything sitting on the bench week in, week out. Like other prospects, see if he comes good, otherwise sell him. Same with Barry.

I see you are back with your moaning comments. It is not a moan about Dibling, it is just a lack of understanding why we would have spent 40M on a kid to sit on a bench while the two positions of striker and right-back, which have been needed for years, were not addressed.
Now that we have him, he needs more playing time either with us or as a loan.

This is what will happen with Dibling: hardly play or loaned out nxt season. He will get a chance and play well in his 3rd season for us, then will be awesome in his 4th season and will be a free transfer. You heard it here 1st, lads.

Moyes has said he is going to give Dibling a good pre-season. To be honest, (what do I know) , I only saw the lad have a couple of fair games for Southampton, and couldn't understand the £40 mill or what it was based on.
