Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

[blue to the bone]

I think another couple of million gets the deal done.

How many though. Be specific mate

It’s on topic. About this kid’s U21 international caps.

Not according to Oxford dictionary, Grok or even those people who speak English at Reddit. In most cases 2. Informally speaking, it can be two or more. Here is the education for you.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, "a couple of" is defined as "two or a small number of (informal)." This means it typically refers to two but can also imply a small number, such as three to five, in informal usage. For example, saying "a couple of friends" could mean two or a few (e.g., 3–5) depending on the context.

In the sentence "He got a couple of international caps," the phrase "a couple of" aligns with the Oxford Dictionary's definition: "two or a small number of (informal)." In this context, it most likely refers to two international caps, as the term "caps" in sports (e.g., soccer or rugby) typically denotes specific, countable appearances for a national team, and "a couple of" traditionally leans toward exactly two in precise contexts.However, in informal usage, "a couple of" can stretch to mean a small number, potentially 3–5. Given the specificity of "international caps," which are distinct and countable achievements, it’s reasonable to interpret "a couple of" as likely meaning exactly two, though it could imply 3–4 in a looser, conversational sense.To verify the exact number, context is key—e.g., checking the player’s record or the source of the statement. Without additional context, the range is most likely 2 but could informally extend to 3–4. If you have more details (e.g., the sport or source), I can help narrow it further by searching for relevant information.

Oh you pipe down? You can’t win Grok and Elon

Anyway, I hope there will be a statement signing soon. Not just Dibling. Another one not a couple of.

1 mill but a million add ons

When defining time I think a couple can probably refer to two or even a bit more - there is some flexibility. But with caps for England - this is a finite definite number - it can't be two and a bit - or just less than 3 - it is 2. and it is 2 until it becomes 3.

Aka ive just proved my point and youve got nothing to come back with

Also the kid is completely unproven in the PL and better players then him have came in and bombed. I genuinely dont understand how you can deny this.

Hes never played in the PL before therefore hes unproven in the PL. Its a simple fact.

It is. It's not what you initially said though. You've added that distinction later.

And, let's not pretend that the majority of players you listed were or are better than Wirtz. That's nonsense.

The only time a couple means more than 2 is when you are trying to gaslight your mate into having a pint.

45+5 easy + 25% sell on?!

GET EFFED

 

[millow1878]

If that’s true then they’ve blinked first. Why on earth counter offer?

 

[Zatara]

Mental how a transfer rumor to your club can completely skew your opinion on a player

I spent most of the January transfer window slagging off Zat telling him he was mad wanting an untried, untested Tyler Dibling

We are extensively linked with him, and i cant wait for us to get it over the line

I'm blaming you for this...

25% sell on as well. WTF

 

[Thomasc]

25% sell on if that’s true it is time to walk away.

Hope we just sent an email back of this:

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Well you can’t be allowing the sell on for starters. We’re paying top whack to assume the considerable risk, our upside is the potential sale value.
