Obinna Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 There have been Juve and Dortmund rumors not so long ago. I feel like him going to either doesn't help us, because although it gets him out of the English pyramid, both are much bigger clubs than Sheffield and even moderate success there may keep him dreaming of England. Conversely, if he stays with Sheffield (and doesn't go on loan) he's basically going to have to kill it to generate England buzz, which is unlikely. I feel like a modest EPL season where he is moderately successful could be good for us, however. It could be enough to put him at 3 behind David and Larin, but not so good where he's holding out for England.

Really cool for all these guys and let’s hope they all play minutes and commit to Canada! MauditYvon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepple might be in Slovenia with Luton, he was doing gym training with the first team last week, he wasn't involved in a Luton Academy game yesterday but also wasn't involved in the only first team friendly they had. Long shot. McGill went to the States with Brighton and three other keepers. Play Chelsea on Saturday . Hope for a loan there. Fougerolles also went to the States with Fulham. Probably a better chance to see some action there. DeRo_Is_King, narduch and Jack1997 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Sheffield United were playing some hoops at their camp in Portugal. Surely Jebbison was schooling them English/French etc. boys. The Instagram includes him. Active Instagram people should remind him who his dad played b-ball for. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu9I_vtgl_-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Nothing of him in the twitter video sadly. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Had a busy day yesterday and apparently missed Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille was back on and then completed. 14 goals 12 assists is a lot to replace. I assume Sheffield United are looking to bring someone in but still a huge opportunity for Jebbison. johnyb, toontownman and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 They’re going to need to reinvest that money from Ndiaye ASAP. By all accounts Sheffield don’t have a massive budget and their signings so far aren’t making headlines by any means. Looks like they could be signing USMNT’s Aaron Trusty.

I've seen Habib Diallo linked and they did pick up a guy named Bénie Traoré who was scoring for fun this season in Sweden (after missing pretty much all of the last one with a broken leg). No idea when Rhian Brewster will be back from another hamstring. So Ollie McBurnie is still the main competition until proven otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Observer Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/aug/10/sheffield-united-premier-league-2023-24-preview The Guardian identifies him as one to watch this season (but pans the side's chances) One to watch Daniel Jebbison, who turns 20 on Sunday, already has a Premier League goal to his name, having scored the winner against Everton at Goodison as a 17-year-old in 2021. Has been linked with a move to Merseyside since and Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham are among those thought to be keeping a watching eye on a player who was part of the England Under-20 World Cup squad this summer. Struggled for form and fitness at times last season but his potential is huge and Ndiaye’s departure could mean more minutes. Danish striker Will Osula, a year Jebbison’s junior, is also pushing for regular first-team action and could start against Crystal Palace on Saturday. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same source says it's off because of the injury possibly being longer term. A kid a year younger might start at the weekend for Sheffield United but they are hoping McBurnie's back and Brewster's back in training. With the guy they signed from Sweden, up top is looking crowded if not with quality... again.

SoccMan Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Unfortunately I just think if this kid succeeds and goes on and does well at a good club in England or even one of top 5 leagues in Europe he is playing for England . Let’s be honest here if he was going to play for Canada he would have already played for Canada . For Canada’s sake we need to hope he just becomes a decent striker in a league like Belgian or even in the Swiss league or any equivalent league . He then declares for Canada and is able to contribute for the national team . Like I said and like many already know let’s not kid ourselves if this kid turns out to become a star player in a top league he ain’t playing for Canada it’s very obvious . I hope I’m proven wrong but I highly doubt it unfortunately. Obinna and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i don't agree. Nothing in it for anyone. He's doing more with Englands U20 than he would for CANMNT. He isn't in our top 3 at the moment on performance, perhaps on potential, but that's never 100%. He wouldn't get any meaningful appearances for us. Canada has no U20, but that horse is dead, no point discussing. Staying committed to England at the moment makes sense every way you look at it. johnyb, Ottawafan, Kadenge and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope our dual nationals are only sorta good so they default down to us, and I think that's a bad way of looking at it, because if Jebbison maxes out as a good Belgian striker or whatever, that's not even good enough for us. If he wants to play for England, he's going to have to become one of the best strikers in the world over the next few years which I'm not sure will be the case, but there's absolutely a scenario in which he is a premier league level player who understands the opportunity to play for Canada is better for him than England. He can look to one of his future NT teammates- Junior Hoilett or Fikayo Tomori depending on which way he goes for additional proof of this.
