Over The Hills... Obviously
If the media are right, I see Everton are sniffing around the place again for young Daniel Jebbison...

Apparently we refused a £5m bid for the lad at some point, but they say that this hasn't deterred The Toffees and that they remain very interested.

Where do we all sit with this one?... He's not ready yet from what he has shown, however he dropped down the leagues and showed huge potential.i don't think you can write him off can you?? There's something in him, but it's taking the time to nurture him and get it out of him......

He's a little more exposed than Dom Calvert Lewin and we have had more time to look at the lad and measure his ability....is he destined to be as good as dom? We don't want to be making that mistake again....
 



I don’t see any premier league team coming in for him just yet despite what the media may be reporting.

Jebbison could indeed be a great player but there isn’t much ay this moment to distinguish him as a cut above any other 17/18 year old and that’s not being in any way critical to the lad.

The counter argument is that DCL didnt look particularly special at that age either so it’s all ifs buts and maybes.

The best thing for Jebbo, especially if we remain in the championshop would be to give him a target of forcing his way into our squad consistently. 15-20 appearances + more off the bench and 5-6 goals will keep him on the right development path for now.

If you want a figure to justify the gamble of selling him then I’d be asking 10 million to cover ourselves
 
He's looked completely out of his depth every time he's come on this season. I wouldn't pay £5 for him.

But DCL also looked similarly out of his depth, and I wouldn't've paid £5 for him either, so what the fuck do I know.

You can pay for potential, and look pretty clever if that potential is realised, and look pretty stupid if it's not.

Never mind analytics, what clubs really need is fortune tellers.
 
From what I have seen I rate osula to be the better player
If we get a decent fee ( over £5m ) with a 20% sell on I would let him go as we can only play one of them alongside Brewster. But then again Brewster could go to forest if they go up so who knows.
Lankshire is also a wonderful prospect
 
I'd say yes. 5/10 million could go towards a proven player that would have more of an instant impact now. If we do go up and stay up, then that's the time to blood in the youngsters and look more long term.

Nothing less than a 20% Sell on clause.
 
Wow, so many writing off a kid they've seen for about the grand total of 90 mins altogether.

The age old answer is about what happens to the funds? If it goes towards squad reinforcement then there's a potential argument to get a good deal for him. If it's going down the black hole of 'running costs' then what's the point from a footballing sense?
 
He's got good potential but I fear recalling him from his loan spell will set him back considerably. He's probably also pissed off at being called back to sit on the bench and not be used for a month after he initially returned, wouldn't surprise me if he pushes for the move himself.

If we don't go up this season then I expect he will be sold if Everton put in an offer of £5m or over as we will need the money. If he goes on to become a success like DCL has done then it will be poor business, but that's the problem with selling young players.
 
I've marked it down as a sell, because we could hang onto other players if we had some cash for Jebbo..

He looks a great prospect and Everton clearly think they can develop him to suit thier style of play, but does he fit into ours, we need players for now, not 2/3 years from now.

I've got no problem selling but the price must be right, and tbh why wouldn't the player want a move to Everton which would set him up for life, we never look at it from the players point of view.

If I was him, I'd want the deal, he's probably 5th choice when the strikers are all fit, osula might have nudged him down from 4th choice because he's looked the better of the two in my opinion.

The thing that Everton did with Dom is they both IDENTIFIED that potential AND DEVELOPED that potential.
 
Stay . I saw kienon Davis when he was like that at Villa a few times,similar stature,raw but potential,look at him now from bulking up and good coaching,looks a beast of a player who could go on to be top class.
 
After some initial promise, he has done little to impress. Admittedly he hasn't had much time on the pitch, but that itself tells a story considering our injury woes up top. Osula looks much more potent now.

I understand the points about potential, but he is likely to need regular playing time at this level to develop that, and I just don't see him getting it. If the price is right, we should cash in.

Otherwise I wouldn't be averse to loaning him out in the Champ. Rotherham maybe?
 
It's a gamble either way. Could be the next DCL or Jordan Slew. Personally I would be happy with 5 million and a decent sell on.

Absolute rubbish Osula is terrible, the player they need to be looking at is McBurnie 😉
 
Another loan will do him the world of good. Ideally for a team that are gunning for promotion from L1. Not Wednesday.

Same for Osula. Both need that physical development at mens level. Not averse to keeping one of them around but we can't nurture both next year.
 
I suppose it's easy to say in hindsight but I think we made a mistake by dragging him back from his loan at Burton. Since he came back, he's had very little game time and Osula has often got in front of him.

I think both have shown a lot of potential and we should be keeping hold of these players and, as Ball_Sup (Phil) says, developing them, unless some club comes in offering silly money with lucrative add-ons of course. Every player has got their price.

Was flogging DCL a “mistake”?
Nowhere near the 1st team at the time, funded / kickstarted the (imperative) rebuild that took us to the Prem + (much needed) ‘windfall’ / sell -on for the next (equally imperative) rebuild - should that brass percolate down to the gaffer ?
 
Would it not have been easier to question the poll "at what price would you sell" rather than a simple yes/no which can only be answered with "it depends"?
 
Who's his agent? Good work whoever it is getting any legs to this non-story.
 
Looks to have gone backwards despite positive reviews from his loan spell at Burton.I was in favour of bringing him back when all our strikers got injured.
I would let him go out on loan again and keep Goldie for another 12 months
 
I dont think we should loan back to L1. He's proven over a 6 month period that he could cut it at that level. I don't see what the point would be in loaning him back there.

Options are.

1 - send on loan to a champ team. Hopefully progresses with more minutes

2 - keep him here ourselves, and loan out Osula instead to L1.

3 - sell him. I would want £10m plus a sell on %
 
As always, he's a bit part player at the moment so if the offer meets our minimum and the funds can be used elsewhere or to keep a player like Berge, then its a no brainer. We sell

If he then goes on to be the next DCL i have no issue as long as we do the right thing for SUFC at that time.
 
a lot of people slating him. He’s 18 and his first loan was to league 1 in which he played half a season and finished their top scorer in a team which created barely anything. I think players like bellingham and Harvey elliot have caused a lot of us to alter our expectations as to what a player should be capable of at such a young age when in reality players like bellingham are incredibly rare to be at the standard they are at such a young age. Iliman Ndiaye is 22 for some perspective and this is his first senior year
 
He reminds me so much of DCL during his time with us which was petty obviously nowhere near the first team level.

He could potentially make it of course. Look at Ben Breaton at Blackburn he was a expensive singing years ago as a 18 year old and has only just started to repay that fee.
 
We owe it to him to let him go.
He'll not amount to much here, just like DCL wouldn't have if he'd stayed at the strikers graveyard.
