CONFIRMED Jebbison loaned to Burton Albion

[S15Blade]

What a farce really if he does go.

I'm not sure I fully buy in to the 40 million black hole theory either, our wage bill will/should be manageable with the clauses + we've now binned Ramsdale, Jags, Lunny, Rodwell from it + written off what we owed B'mouth and then some.

We can also add in that any performance related add ons won't be happening anytime soon, up side of signing players who turn out to be rather wank.

 

[Bladeloyal]

All I'll say is that jebbo is on a four year deal and he needs to be integrated into the first team matchday squad ,the kids just got it .
He's money in the bank.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Ok, maybe bit off, but scored against us and seems to have 3 goals in 4 games this season. That's more than our players combined?

Reckon a wheelie bin could / would net 3 in WBA ‘system’
- & a bin that understands the offside rule would have managed that in the 1 game against us last Wednesday

 

[Booker4]

Seems to me we’re getting our knickers in a reyt old twist about a player that’s played about the sum total of two games for the first team and we don’t really have an idea about how good he actually is. It also seems very hard to grasp that we have a £40m shortfall to make up. If we can’t move on Berge for the right price then other players are going to have to be sacrificed to allow Slav the players he needs. We have a big, bloated squad that’s about 5 or 6 players too heavy - oh and they also happen to be quite well paid for the most part with seemingly no interest from elsewhere in taking them off our hands.

If we get an offer like £8-10m for Jebbo then I think we need to face the reality that he’s probably going. It’s shit losing your young players without seeing what they can do. Unfortunately relegation puts us in a shit position too. Sadly I think that’s the reality.

Back in the first pre-season under Wilder when we sold Rammers and DCL (and Adams) I could understand why we sold our better younger players as we were skint and needed to overhaul the team. But it came at a big price later down the line as we sold two now England internationals, although of course in the case of Rammers we were able to make a small profit just now, I say small because had we been able to keep him in the first place then we'd have, in theory, made the full profit at some stage. DCL is the one that really sticks in the throat. Yes for every DCL and Rammers there are some that go onto average careers like Jordan Slew and Lee Morris, but I don't think we've seen a striker with so much potential come through our ranks, including DCL, with so much potential as Jebbison. So with that in mind if they want him I'd be wanting £20m. I really think anything less would be stupid. He may turn out to be average but we don't need to be selling him now. Next season whatever league we're in I'd expect Jebbison to be our main centre forward.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

There's a time to sell a player. You've got to think now is likely a season or so too early in Jebbisons case, particularly if the money being talked is only £5m.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Lets be Honest, we bottled the rammers sale by a few million so tryna make that money. This is why all of a sudden we’re leaking to press about all strikers being available at the right price

Bottled ?24 _30m unbelievable jeff

 

[Smirth]

He should be playing ahead of Brewster but he's not purely because of the money we spent on him.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Hang on!

There's more than a tad of redactive bullshit going on here. The vast majority at the time thought the £1m for DCL was good business, as he wasn't going to get into the team and wasn't strong enough/good enough. In fact a good few thought we'd had their pants down on the deal.

I know it's all a bit shit and sluggish at the moment and people are pissed off with the club, but tell it like it was. And DCL had seen more 1st team action than Jebbison, so more to go on. He's a promising young player, nothing more at this stage despite the hyperbole stoked by ineptitude elsewhere in the squad. I doubt he's ready to be the focal point of a championship season, personally don't think he'd play a full season at league one level, but those decisions will be made by coaches seeing him every day. The bid is a cheeky punt, quickly chucked out. Us needing recruits and probably needing the readies to do that recruitment will be well known in football, so clubs try and take advantage, but it's nothing more than a gamble, speculation for clubs like Everton.

Hope he plays and bags tonight.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Short of selling him off for a massively undervalued figure because we needed to make ends meet and no other players generated interest, it would be very Sheffield United to loan him to Sunderland, him fire them to promotion and we get relegated because those remaining couldn't hit a barn door between them.

Slav is gradually seeing the light. We need Jebbo to help out with this today.

He arrived and saw 8 strikers, probably needs half that and saw Jebbison and thought I need to find a way for this kid to get games.

Well, 4 games in and he's seen:
1. Mousset pull his usual disappearing act. Maybe unlucky, but years of being unprofessional catching up on him.
2. McGoldrick show what a profligate finisher he is, guilty of a miss as bad as anything Verrips did at West Brom and having 5 efforts at Swansea with nothing to show. Does he practice shooting or is it just something he does on a Saturday?
3. Burke show pace then run the ball out to no effect and he's now listening to offers for him.
4. Brewster's total lack of spacial awareness and inability to cause any danger at all.
5. Tyler Smith, he's already letting go to Hull.
6. Sharp has shown he's the most adept finisher on the staff not to mention it was he who set up McGoldrick for that glorious chance at West Brom.
7. McBurnie who most of is are 50/50 on whether he'll come good though he can at least win balls in the air and should have played at West Brom.
8. Jebbison.

On what has been evidenced this season, how anyone can put any of those first 5 over Jebbison is beyond me.

Don't just not sell him. Pick him. Rotate him with Sharp and McBurnie as our forward line. The rest can go.

Yet ironically we see this lad for 1 game and a few sub appearances and he’s all of a sudden a more accomplished player than seasoned pros already on the books, 2 of which managed very healthy returns when last in this league playing for another side.

The issues we have are not due to a lack of decent strikers in this league, it’s due to a failure to create enough quality chances for the strikers we already have here.

 

[Sheffsteel]

To even be remotely courting the idea of selling Jebbison is nothing short of ridiculous. The board need to get a grip.

The Liverpool fans said the same.
Some were adamant he was the next Michael Owen and were happy sellout at a lowly £23 million.

 

[him behind you]

Not having a dig at anyone cos I'd love to see Jebbison have a few games and to develop, but I'm not sure I get all the hype at the moment. He had a couple of outings last season where he looked decent, had a bit of pace and put himself about, but I'm not sure whether he actually was decent or whether he looked it due to what we were comparing him with.

No you’re right. People’s brains get muddied as soon as an academy player makes the team….”play the kids” is spouted constantly. And because they’re kids and from our academy they are allowed more room for actually not being good enough. Because they aren’t on big wages, didn’t cost a fee they’re seen as better than what we have.

But it’s actually bollocks, and precisely the reason people on here have nothing to do with professional football management.

 

[gaffablade]

If he’s good enough he’s old enough.

why we continually refuse to play the youth is beyond me.

buy Moose for 10m or McB for 20m and consider selling Jebbo is a crime.

Sell/give/shoot Burke and Moose and make a decision on Dibzy/Bill/Brew/McB. One must go as well as the other two previously mentioned.

this leaves four inc. Jebbo.

But Christ on a cross do not sell he!

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Do not under ANY circumstances sell Jebbison especially to those twats at Everton. They can have Berge but not him.

I'm fed up reading articles from them and Unsworth gloating on how they got Calvert-Lewin on the cheap. They can fuck right off.

I really hope he plays tonight and scores a couple and forces his way into the reckoning.

If Brewster is able to attract a bid of 23m then this kid is worth 50m.

Brewster is lucky as hell the season ended with a new manager coming in because he's done naff all to force himself back ahead of Jebbison.

I'd have him and Sharp as our two must have strikers. Any combination of the rest can go for me.

They did get DCL cheap but only when you know what he is now, if he’d faded away and ended up down the league structure then it would have been the other way round. That’s the punt teams take with young players

 

[BigBed]

JEBBISON TO EVERTON......

 

[247Blade]

All I'll say is that jebbo is on a four year deal and he needs to be integrated into the first team matchday squad ,the kids just got it .
He's money in the bank.

Wonder if jebbo will play tonight.... might then be an indication of clubs motives?

 

[vas borbokis]

You do know Brewster won the u18 World Cup smashed it up for Swansea in half a season and was regarded as one of the best young English players before we signed him

Jebbison has scored a tap in

But he has scored!? ;-)

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

If he’s good enough he’s old enough.......

So, by that logic, DJ appears to be considered (,by folk that have seen & know him far better than thee & me) as (not yet?) "good enough"

 

[Yogi]

I’d play him with Brewster upfront. Brunt and slater in midfield if fit and play one of the young centrebacks alongside Davies and bash

 

[SouthportBlade]

So much credit needs to go to Everton for the development of DCL. He got thrust into the first team (and persevered with) frankly before he was ready. His record over the first few years wasn't good at all. He had exposure to Premier League football, facilities, coaches, players etc and eventually came good.

I strongly believe if he'd stayed with us, he would at all be the same player. Development is not as linear as a lot seem to think.

Hoping the centreback is Lopata, lovely little article in polish media with him today saying he no longer wants U23 football and wants first team action with Sheffield United or on loan and would know by the end of the month.

He had all the tools to reach the level he got to at Everton in his youth career. Top finishing, brilliant in the air, Incredible at holding up the ball and controlling the ball, very good at running the channels. As a striker he was a prodigy: at the point he broke into the United first team he'd only played up front for a few years. I was 100% confident he was something special and at this point feel vindicated. Everton waited for him to fill out a bit, and worked on his movement. Nothing major at all.He was putting in MOM performances for Everton when he was still a baby.

That’s good I think we’ll he to see either him or Gordon again tonight and then it wouldn’t surprise me if we see some leave on loan.

 

[Bramhall Lane blade]

Lots of opinion on Jebbison,who can honestly say they've seen him other than the hour he played last season,could be the next DCL ,or he could be the next Jordan Slew,who knows.

I think the difference was that Wilder wasn't going to play him and we needed the money to strengthen the team. Same with Brooks.

If reports are right about Burke and Brewster then who knows whether SJ will play him or not but can't at the moment. We don't need the money though so loan him until January for league 1. If reports are true we're wanting a large loan fee then that's ridiculous.

 

[gaffablade]

So, by that logic, DJ appears to be considered (,by folk that have seen & know him far better than thee & me) as (not yet?) "good enough"

Like I said the management are for some reason extremely reluctant to play our youth.

three or even four could have and should have broken through last year when we knew we were relegated

yet we are looking at PL club u23 to come in !!?? Makes no sense at all

 

[nopigfansintown]

Lots of opinion on Jebbison,who can honestly say they've seen him other than the hour he played last season,could be the next DCL ,or he could be the next Jordan Slew,who knows.

I can guarantee one thing, that is always a source of debate with young players including DCL and Slew: Jebbison has the physique to be an elite level striker already. DCL and Slew still had some filling out to do that may not have happened.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Jebbo has the tools , cannot work out why he isn't getting minutes ,when Brewster who couldn't lace the lads boots is

Not sure about that comparison.
DCL had played a few games at League One level, Jebbison has already played in the top flight.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Neither played much 1st team football, but DCL had more minutes. DJ has 4 games in an already relegated team playing effectively dead rubbers. I saw plenty of immaturity in both of them when they played, and also plenty of potential. DCL was deemed not ready for league one at the time, not seen enough of DC to judge if he is ready for the Championship, but would be surprised if he was.
