Daniel Jebbison

Has done very well when he's played all season. That reverse ball to Berge that the keeper just got too was Xaviesque. He's a beast that needs a five year contract asap. He was our best player down at Millwall not long ago in a limp team display and in the cup game too. They're no mugs defensively.

Keeping what we've got is at least as vital as recruitment The kids are alright! New deals for Berge, Ndiaye, Jebbison, Osula, RND, Bogle, Mcburnie etc are of paramount importance. Look after our assets United!

He was everything Billy isn't anymore, gave Preston's defenders a hard time and changed the game, well done Jebbo.
When Jebbison came on Preston had changed there system and went much more open as they had to win which worked in Jebbison’s favour
 
Early days yet but I think he has potential.
Something I didn’t say about Calvert Lewin so what do I know😐
 
If I was an opposition central defender and saw Jebbo coming on, my very first thought would be " oh shit ! "
TBH.

When i see him in the starting lineup, i think "oh shit". But he was fantastic the other day.

Hopefully he can grow over the summer and you never know, he may be the 10-15 goal PL striker we need 👀

He certainly looked the part against P.n.e. strong,quick and the way he flattened the defender and went on to create the goal,very impressive.
 
Get him loaned out to championship team to get experience. Not good enough for PL. doesn’t make the bench. No room for passengers where we are going.
 
Seen lots of people suggest Jebbison go on loan. It's not going to happen for 3 main reasons:


1: He's out of contract at the end of next season.
2: We'll likely struggle to afford a player with his qualities to fill his place in the squad.
3: There's nothing in it for him.

Point 3 is the most important; why would he want to go on loan from us? Since he made his debut, there's been reported interest from top clubs, that could pay him a great deal more than we can. If he's just going to be an U21 player who gets farmed out on loan, he may as well agitate for a move, and go on loan from Manchester United or the like.

Our USP to Jebbison, and the reason he hasn't left, is that we can offer him game time. Take that out the equation and I would guess we're a very unattractive option for him.

1.) He has to sign a new deal in order to get game time or loaned out. He's 19, there's no rush.
2.) I guess we'd have to see, but it would be worrying if we're reliant on a 19 year old to fill out the squad. We can always bring him back in Jan if he's slaying it and is needed.
3.) There's everything in it for him. He'll play more, he'll develop, he'll be proving himself at a desirable level, it'll increase his profile, he'll come back as the main forward if he bags more than 15 goals.

At the risk of being labelled as facetious - Jebbison will be 20 years old in August

More than half of the 20 PL clubs had a 20yo (or younger) starting 10 times or more

Jebbison isn’t exactly a kid, especially these days, i don’t think there’s any harm in him being a solid squad player this season - look at Brennan Johnson at Forest for an example of the role he could play

Imagine how much we’d kick ourselves if he did slay the championship - and we were languishing in the bottom 3!
 
Boro supporting mate of mine suggested we go for Che Adams. I said I'd rather develop Jebbison than spending £££ on a player who's goals:game ratio at Soton is 1:5.

I’m not advocating him going on loan, just answering the question as to why it’s a worthy discussion point. If he’s first choice from the bench then of course he should stay, but he needs to sign a new deal too.

Jebbos going to be a better player than him with prem experience next season.

If Che wasn't such a massive bell end after he'd left us I'd have supported signing him.
He's not a CF but a decent support forward.

I think you're understandably looking at the situation through the eyes of a united fan.

If we try and strong-arm him into signing a new deal by threatening to withhold game time, I imagine he'd call the bluff and leave for free at the end of the year. He's a talented, sought after young player, with a year left - he holds all the cards.

I think if you were him, or a parent/advisor to him, you'd tell him to sign a new contract if there's hope of reasonable game time, and leave if not.

And as for your comment about being reliant on him: I'm not sure "reliant" is the right word, but yes, I'd expect him to play a leading role next season.
We'll have a paltry budget, we'll need several midfielders, a couple of defenders, possibly a keeper and a replacement for Sharp. If there's change left after all that to fund a Jebbison upgrade, I will be astonished.
 
We're going to need, at a minimum, 4 centre forwards next season.

At the moment we've got..
Ndiaye - assuming he stays
Mcburnie - assuming we trigger his extension
Sharp - assuming he doesn't retire
Brewster - assuming he's ever fit to play football

I can see at least 2 of the above potentially not being here at the start of next season. Out of that list on current form you'd probably put jebbo as 3rd choice.

There's no way he goes out on loan. He's at the minimum on the bench every week, especially as you get 9 subs in the prem. We'll probably struggle to fill that some weeks as it is!

4. He is still only 19 and is developing which is something Hecky reiterates often when asked about him. (To put it in perspective Ndiaye is 3 years older than him)

I think the Preston game showed that he is starting to show more upper body strength and isn't allowing opposition players to bully him off the ball. The way he shrugged off the Preston lad showed he is developing the physical side of his game.

Maybe, but I'm not assuming he'll sign just because United make an offer, I just think were potentially more attractive than you have us.
We're now a PL club with a clear pathway to the first team and if we do happen to be relegated that pathway becomes even clearer to a Championship side with 3 years of Parachute payments. Alternatively, if he has a huge breakthrough season in the PL, there will be significant interest.
He's 19 (20 to keep Bongle happy ;) ) and dropping into an established PL squad while developing is a risky move for him from a development perspective.
With us he will be playing regularly, be that on loan or in our first team squad, but he'll likely earn less but at 19 is that his main driver? I'm not so sure.
A longer contract with us doesn't actually tie him into anything, aside from better pay, higher standing, and us invested in his further development this season. If a big move materialises it's not like we could or would refuse anyway.

For him and us, it does feel like a rare no-brainer on both sides.

I can see Jebbo becoming our main man next season, young, pacey and hungry forrrit. Let's hope he stays injury free for the next two games.
UTB
My thoughts exactly,not to send him out on loan,play him,the way he handled P.N.E. defence,I know they weren't that good but he certainly rattled 'em.

If you believe some folk on here the only reason he managed to do that was because Bill had run the PNE defence ragged prior and they were very tired.
 

To kick on, he needs minutes. He either gets those minutes with us, in the PL or with someone else. It seems prudent to loan him to a top Champ Team that play in a similar way to us, with a Jan recall clause. If not that option, then he needs minutes with us which means taking minutes from others. The big question that needs answering via Pre-Season, by Hecky, is can DJ displace McB as a regular starter? If the answer is yes, keep him around, if not, get him minutes until the answer is yes.
