I wonder what’s happening in the Dibling thread that’s a lot of posts this morning…

Imagine someone toasting the happy couple at a wedding and there was 5 of them.

Imagine saying you had a couple of pints when you actually had 3 or 4. No one would ever do that.

And what did I say? He was unproven in premier league. Which is correct and a completely reasonable thing to say both factually and more generally given the number of foreign players who come here with big reputations from certain league and don't reproduce the same form here as elsewhere. Again, pay more attention.

You added a caveat to the original discussion, which you weren't a part of. I wasn't addressing your PL proven point, because it's not relevant. Were he PL proven with the record he has, he'd likely be worth more than Liverpool have paid.

I understand your point, I'm just not giving it any credibility because, as I and others have pointed out, it's not a good one.

Anyway... Dibling. PL proven so get paying that huge money.

The phrase "a couple of" typically means two in standard English usage. However, in informal contexts, some people use it to mean a small number, like three or occasionally four.

Nope it’s 2 always 2. If you use couple for any other number you’re using it wrong

Sometimes the flames burn brightly without lashing barrels of gasoline on them mate. When they start to go out, then we douse.

It doesn't. That's people using a couple wrong. A couple is two. A few is 3, 4 etc.

but given people do use/interpret it incorrectly then having the precise number does add certainty no? Because I don’t know if the poster is using the word couple correctly or incorrectly do I?

And yet people do use it incorrectly.

Just ignore in future then pal rather than trying to protect your ego. It’s a waste of both our timer but especially mine.

If I called you Gary instead of Kev it doesn’t make it true
This is a great day for GOT discourse

Reading all this is how I feel when posters talk about amortisation .

3 pages on a the definition of the word couple. What a world

Maybe they could just use some. That would cover any number.

Unless this lad turns into the reincarnation of Gareth Bale, I'd be happier spending that vast amount of money (as its been suggested) on a Kubo or some other player with genuine proven ability. Should be an interesting week though, so lets see.

There’s been a lot of “just go get Kubo” shouts but I think it would be a much worse idea (I appreciate you are just using him as an example).

For starters he’s 5 years older which doesn’t make him old for a footballer but is getting into prime age for a winger. It’s definitely the position that skews youngest in terms of value etc. It’s pretty rare unless it’s a superstar to see wingers go for massive money in their late 20s.

Personally I think if you pay 50m for Kubo at 24 that’s more likely than not the most anyone will ever pay for him and while resale value isn’t the only factor for Everton it’s a big big factor. Our model shouldn’t be buying at peak value.

Kubo by all accounts only had an OK season and 5 goals and 0 assists in La Liga isn’t that impressive. I guess maybe we thought we could buy the dip but 50m isn’t buying the dip. You’re probably paying almost twice what you should to cover the fact Sociedad only get half the money.

Dibling obviously is a risk because someone who has recently turned 19 isn’t going to have a body of work. That’s where you rely on your in depth scouting at all the levels he’s played at. But based on reputation and the interest and valuations he’s had in the past you probably get one window where you have a shot at getting him and this is it. By the time a kid like him gets to the proven ability stage he’s long long gone from our grasp. If the scouting says he’s an elite talent this is your shot.

It’s scary numbers but if the judgement is he’s got elite potential maybe you have to be bold.

Thank you. I just point out the lad had 2 U21 caps. The exact number. And some people gone mad because of it.
