It's got us written all over it.

 

Newcastle have been looking at him for years and if that's Nicksons doing, there's a fair chance we will be after him.

 

If I'm honest, he's not the finished product I'd like for that position but his potential is massive.

There's no way Mbuemo is going for 60m, 70 will be closer.

 

Also I think Southampton could be knocked down on 55. For such a young kid you'd make it heavily incentivised with add ons... appearances, goals, cup wins, CL qualifications etc.

 

Remember when we paid 45 for Gordon we thought we'd be absolutely done on price, Dibling has a much higher ceiling because of his technical abilities.

Peak age? :lol:

 

We've got 2 CBs who have just been in their prime at the 33 year old mark, we've got Trippier who's what? 34? 

 

Jacob Murphy has just put in the best season of his career... he's 30 year old.

 

Sorry to be bold, but it's utter rubbish. Both Mbeumo and Guehi could play for this club for 10 years... bollocks to sell on value. They'd take us to a new level where we'd not just be fighting for CL spots but would be a mainstay in that competition.

 

Let's earn our revenue from success on the pitch, rather than signing players we intend on selling in a couple of years time.

 

I don't want potential quality from abroad for 20m to be our standard signing , I want ACTUAL quality from wherever it may come from, be it abroad or domestic. No transfer can ever be a guarantee but I want as sure a thing as possible.

 

The day we start acting like a Brighton is the day I worry.

I’d go Dibling over Mbeumo personally which puts me in a massive minority but I wouldn’t pay over £45m for Dibling whereas I think £60m is fair for Mbeumo 

 

Id be happy with either. Mbuemo would be more exciting for the here and now.

Yeah to me 25/27 is peak age for most players obviously there are exceptions to that where some age done sooner due to injury or over playing and others go on forever. 

 

So you expect Murphy to continue his form into next season numbers wise?

 

I wouldn't say this years trips at 34 is anywhere near trips of 2 seasons ago. 

 

Burn and schar have been great and particularly BDB has been better than ever. We have been lucky that neither have picked up any injiry which is more common in older players. 

 

Success on the pitch does drive revenues up but you can't hold onto all players forever a balance needs to be found where you accept some will never move as they contribution to the team continues but we can't function as a club keeping everyone. Knowing when to sell as is the balance you want them to either go before the decline starts or at peak value where your confident of replacing them for similar or less. Howe said similar post everton that the side is strlng but some players need to move to stop the side going stale and for competition in general. 

 

We have quite an old squad and yes I would like the club to find the next whoever it is than just go get the best performing player in a non top 6 side in our league. We don't just need the final piece to our puzzle we have quality issue in our depth and older players on short contracts. 

 

Never said I wouldn't take either player but if I told you the budget was 100 or 120m and most of it went one 2 players we need to balance the sure thing and the up and coming. Again this may still happen we have expanded the scouting network and had a year to 18 months to think on it if the best we can do is market rate for two in our league and that strengthens the starting 11 but not much else I would be slightly disappointed.

Mbeumo over Dibling for me. I'd love both but we need a proven starter 

 

Hall & Gordon on the left, Tino & Dibling on the right. Guehi and Trafford at the back abd Miley in the middle. Just need to find England's next no9 and we've pretty much got the next gen national team.

Chairman Howe likes this.

Dibling isn't starting for us immediately; he needs more time. Eddie's gonna try the Hall/Gordon thing – bench him more. So Murphy's starting, which could be a total mess since he might tank like Almiron last season. Dibling has potential, but we need a better RW, someone who'll actually keep Murphy on the bench. Mbeumo's our man or someone of that ilk.

Mbeumo is very good but feel like we pretty much know his ceiling, plus he's basically just had the perfect season so we are going to have to overpay to get him. Dibling on the other hand could be anything, and under Howe he'll very likely reach close to his top potential, happy with either but I'd go Dibling if the price is not too unreasonable.
