Paul Griffiths in David Moyes insists on patience regarding Tyler Dibling -
I think it'd be unfair to say Moyes doesn't have good man management skills, there are clearly players who would walk over hot coals for him.
But he does seem to struggle to motivate certain types of players. Dibling played well under Russell Martins possession and passing based style, a progressive younger manager who probably made Dibling feel special. Ultimately though, not even I would substitute Moyes for Martin!
But it does make you wonder why we bought the lad given he's not a Moyes type player and I can't see how he ever will be. Moyes doesn't have a great record of improving raw young talent. I actually can't think of anyone.
I also think we need to forget about the price tag. It is surely 40m based on a number of years and conditions which haven't been met.

I grew up in an environment where anger would be seized upon and relentlessly mocked. It was seen as a weakness.
Scottie Road had a fierce reputation as a hard place in the 60's,70's + 80's, but that's not the Scottie I grew up on. There were much tougher areas in Liverpool. Sure there were some tough, tough, men (and women for that matter) that you didnt want to get on the wrong side of, but in my circles, when two people locked horns (nearly always over footy). The choice of weapons was nearly always Ridicule and piss-take. You had to be far tougher for that type of combat, because it didnt matter how quick witted, or condescending you were. somebody would come along in better form than you and you would be shredded Everybody got shredded.
Maybe it's wrong to try to bring that culture onto a forum where the word is seen, but the tone cant be heard. Or maybe I'm just not a skilful enough writer to pull it off, but be assured....

I knew that. But the 'When' and the 'Who' still remain as part of TFG's as yet unknown (at least to us) cunning plan.
Off topic-ish alert; at home Vs United, we won't see as much of the ball as we might usually do, nor face an out right parked bus...both of which we're not that good at anyway.
Maybe if Moyes treats it like an away game we might fair a bit better?
