Ambitious Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If Chelsea offered to swap Mount for Sibley, how many people would take that swap? Mount is the player I've seen in the past two decades at this club with the highest ceiling. I would say it was Thorne, but we all know what happened there, but Sibley just continues to do what he did in the U18 league now in the Championship.

I see him scoring 20 plus & assisting a fair few also. He's such a talent that we arguably need a front man who is first & foremost able to suit our style rather than be able to score plenty. With Sibley, Lawrence and a class right winger behind a selfless & mobile front man, we could score plenty enough to go up (a Troy Deeney type forward would be absolutely bang on). Just love his directness & positivity - our post-lockdown season would have looked very different without him. He is proper Derby too - the yokels up here have cottoned onto his mock clapping on Sunday & are still complaining. Good lad ? @Ambitious I wouldn't take that swap with Mount (much though I rate him) - Sibley is 3 years younger so is much earlier on in his development curve. Wilson is probably the closer equivalent in terms of the goals/assists contribution Louie is capable of but he doesn't have Sibley's tenacity/presence to influence general play. He is that special.

Sibley just looks different class He’s an angrier, more fiery Will Hughes with an absolute rocket of a shot on him hes a perfect blend of aggression, skill, balance, pace and flair that you need to make it to the highest levels professional football, a perfect hybrid as a result of the academy investment Hughes’ feet, Brysons engine, Seth Johnson’s aggression, Thornes vision, Matt Oakleys rocket He’s a Frankenstein of a player, he’ll be a force to be reckoned with next season, no doubt about it.

Millenniumram Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 He’s certainly got the potential, that’s for sure. He’s such a brilliant goalscorer - the technique he has when he strikes the ball is only rivalled by Harry Wilson in terms of Derby players I’ve seen. It’s something very special. Obviously he’s still got some things to work on before he reaches the levels we all know he can get to - mainly these are the more nuanced off the ball skills that will only come with experience, so it’s not surprise really. He should only get better the more games he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBB Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Would people take someone like Matt Smith up front with bjsycreative players buzzing in and around him? Think I read somewhere that he has a great assist stat in the champ from knock downs and flick ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 How about we dont build the guy up and heap loads of pressure on him, just let him develop naturally and see where it takes him? Less than 10 games into his career and we are already saying he is crucial to our team, he will play at the top level, so on and so forth. Of course he looks good but let's not fall into the same trap that we have so many times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a front man who is mobile/quick, strong but also technically good & has the deft Martin type touches to bring others into the game. Im actually not that concerned by how many a new CF would score given the potential behind him. Most teams going up tend to share goals around anyway.

Steve How Hard? Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I love he's had his own personal goal of the season competition going on. My personal favourite is the Blackburn goal that announced his arrival in spectacular fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I get why we're excited, but personally I hate piling pressure on young players, even in places they can't see what we say like here. Just sets you up for disappointment when the variables come into play and it doesn't happen. Remember all those exciting young players we had between 2013-15? I remember people boldly claiming that Hughes, Thorne, Bamford and Ibe would be in the squad in the 2018 World Cup. The worst of the lot - Lingard - is the only one who did and was instrumental as part of the first England side to reach a WC semi in nearly thirty years.
