Re: Tyler Dibling
From the echo (got it from fb so just copy & pasted)
Tyler Dibling has admitted he is enduring a “tough” debut campaign at Everton but expressed determination to fight his way into the first team.
The attacking midfielder said it had been hard playing so few matches, particularly after gaining significant experience in the Premier League with relegated Southampton last season.
Despite his disappointment, he insisted he is targeting greater involvement this season and his thoughts extend beyond the campaign and to what he can do with Everton in the future.
Dibling signed for the Blues at the end of the summer transfer window, joining from Southampton in an initial £35m deal.
The 20-year-old was the club’s most expensive signing of a summer rebuild and strengthened an area - right wing - in which David Moyes was struggling for depth.
But he has made just 17 appearances since his arrival and of those only six were starts.
He has not yet scored for Everton and, while he impressed in a win at Nottingham Forest just after Christmas - one of few serious opportunities he has been given - is still searching for a breakthrough moment.
Opening up on his time on Merseyside to date while with the England Under-21s, Dibling said: “It’s been tough [at club level]. When I come with England, it’s good to get minutes and play in these types of games to know that when I go back to Everton, I can really push on at the end of the season and into the next.
“I had a good season last year with Southampton and it’s been harder for me this season with not playing as many games, but it’s all experience at the end of the day.”
Moyes appears willing to show patience over Dibling's development but has hinted at some frustration over their first eight months together.
The lack of minutes for the youngster can partly be explained by the success of others, though. The Blues boss was buoyed by the way Iliman Ndiaye operated with potency on the right wing over the first half of the season and has inspired several good displays in that position from Dwight McNeil in recent games.
At Finch Farm, Dibling has been encouraged to study the work of Champions League winners Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, both adept at cutting inside from the right, and to learn from some of the players around him.
He said he had been doing just that in an interview with England during the latest U21s camp, in which Lee Carsley’s side drew with Andorra and defeated Moldova.
Dibling explained: “I have definitely learned from people like Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Grealish, because they’re such good players. When you see them every day, you can take things from their game. I need to keep pushing myself, keep working hard at training, and I’m going to go into next season ready to go, mentally and physically.”

Re: Tyler Dibling
I’m back to thinking, aw he’s a nice lil guy. We’ve invested a lot of money into him, let’s invest a little patience as well, see if we can bring him out his shell and see him reach his potential.
One thing absolutely not in doubt is his ability - he’s clearly a very very talented lad.

Re: Tyler Dibling
Which would be totally fine. He's only 20 and if that means he goes back to Southampton for a season on loan or even spends the next 2 out on loan he'd be coming back still as a very young player.
Bags of potential but needs patience and time to develop, if we give him that we'll see the rewards of our investment.
Re: Tyler Dibling
Bridges are burned with Southampton, he'd be there now if that was going to happen.
He will be loan at a championship club though, probably Preston.

Re: Tyler Dibling
Can’t see us sending a player who cost us £40m to the championship for a season.
Don’t see how that would be productive for him or the club.

Re: Tyler Dibling
I might be being very naive on this but I’m kinda taking what Moyes said a couple of months ago on face value which was he’s very young he could use a pre-season with us to really try and get up to speed, etc.
I don’t think we have to be overthinking it too much at this stage, I think Moyes is just going to introduce him at his preferred pace. If we could get European football though it would be a great outcome for all these younger players as this season we basically only had the PL games.
Also nice to read his own comments, they could just be media fluff but he sounds like he’s realistic about the challenge and step up he needs to make to be on the level of the players ahead of him.

Re: Tyler Dibling
What would he have left then 1 year or 2?? Sounds like an amazing way to spend our second largest transfer fee everAjaxAndy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2026 11:56 am Which would be totally fine.

It's not exactly hard to negotiate a new contract.777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2026 3:27 pm What would he have left then 1 year or 2?? Sounds like an amazing way to spend our second largest transfer fee ever
Also what's your alternative plan? Or should we just consign a 20 year old to the scrap heap because you can't be arsed to allow him time to develop?
Re: Tyler Dibling
He’s not going to the championship.
He’s already had a full season playing to a good level in the premier league so why would he take the drop down, and why would we want him playing at an inferior level to his talent?
Loan him to a premier league team, abroad, or just get on with playing him or just sell him.

Re: Tyler Dibling
Its probably a little bit hard to negotiate assuming we are paying premier league wages to a player who would have spent 3 years not ready to play Premier league football for us
Its utter madness to suggest this season plus 2 on loan is okay for a player we spent best part of 40m on
