    If we get €10m for him then that is what we paid for him. Obviously paid his wages for a while but we might roughly break even when you factor in the loan fee and them covering his wages for a season.

    In my opinion, no.
    He wasn't even a regular starter for a bottom of the table team last season (20 from 38 games). What clubs are buying is potential and as you say it's only the clubs that can afford to invest and wait, the big 6 mainly, that are likely to pay anywhere near what we are asking for him and the competition for places in their XIs will be fierce.

    The ‘big six’ (are we still counting Spurs in that?) a more successful club like Villa or Newcastle could nowadays stump up plus £35m-45m. Even Brighton - if their computer say ‘yes’ could compete.

    It rarely happens as they want them in their academy or group of clubs for city/Chelsea, but if we could sell for £45m and get him loaned back for a season that would be brilliant.

    Extremely unlikely I'll admit.

    I just hope we sell him so that I don't feel obliged to respond on his behalf.

    I agree with this.

    I just feel Dibling is tailor made for Spurs. Not convinced he is good enough for a top five club but Dibling strikes me as exactly the kind of player Spurs fans love. He would be wasting his talent being kicked to pieces in the Championship. He would also be better coached at Spurs .

    I think our best players will be sold for top dollar in August and maybe too late fir Saints to reinvest.

    Last time we sold about £180m and spent about £25m from memory. We shouldn’t need to spend loads to be competitive this year even if the 3 I listed leave. We probably are looking at a similar amount in sales I think, the loans we get will be key.
