Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Isnt this what we thought on Fofana?
His agent would tell him that the club who bid for him and could take him to the premier league have just paid e.g £35mil for a 19 year old England u21 right winger.
Fofana will have it explained that if we sign one more wide player then he'll lose us as an option. He'll either continue to wait or come back to us to progress the deal.
At the same age Gordon to compare with Dibling this coming season achieved 5 starts & 6 sub for preston & 1 start & 2 sub for everton.
So if we sign Dibling and he starts 2 games and is a sub in 4 games he will have doubled Gordons output for Everton at the same age.
Season after this Gordon got 4 goals and 2 assists & 3 seasons time 3 goals in half a season before his transfer.
I'm confident Dibling will destroy those numbers.
As I posted before;
Dibling is 5 years younger than Gordon.
Gordon only has 12 caps depsite believing he's a global superstar.
League
24/25 season 6 goals & 5 assists
23/24 season 11 goals & 10 assists
22/23 season 4 goals 0 assists
21/22 season 4 goals 2 assists
I would be very disappointed if Dibling returned these numbers between the ages of 20-24 (beginning the season after this one for Dibling).
In that Newcastle team Gordon should be hitting 23/24 season numbers every season.
Hopefully we land Dibling and he's able to grow into an effective player very quickly and eclipse Gordon
Gordon has better pace but Dibling has superior dribbling ability.
Don't entirely agree (dont think the lad is aggressive enough to get high figures) and we won't see anything consistent for another 2 seasons. I want to be proved wrong.
However, some will expect an instant impact for the price
