Cronky Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Ibe would be a tremendous buy, but I can't believe he'd opt for dropping down a division. Why? He's not an established prem player. Still a young guy looking for an opportunity to feature week in and week out, which he'd get with us. I just think he's good enough to play regularly in the Premiership, and for a decent side.

Yeah, I agree. I just think the kind of club likely to give him that kind of opportunity I the prem would likely be a newly promoted side, or one that is not that established or high profile. So joining a club like Newcastle under Benitez that is clearly pushing to return asap, is likely an attractive proposition. If he does well, like Townsend did, and we return straight back up, he'd be a fixture in the team going forward in the prem under a great manager, and a at a club with a lot more potential and better profile.

We need another winger so will be interesting to see whats going on. He is clearly holding out for something, scousers are inserting and insane amount of clauses into sales though including sell on and by back, this could just be the hold up too. I thought the Bournemouth deal was already done a couple of days ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him play once, and he destroyed West Brom in that game. Seems mint based off that one game. Saw him play quite a bit last season. Seems to have so much potential, but he is equally as frustrating as Sterling. Just seems to dribble without thinking much at all. At least he's a powerful built lad, so might actually have more potential than Raheem who is an absolute fraud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibe has never shown himself to be anywhere near as good as Sterling was for Liverpool when he first burst onto the scene though. Only a year younger too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Harsh to call him a fraud imo, he's still very young and to me his biggest issue is he's so indecisive and seems to lack confidence. We'll see where he stands after this season as if nothing else Guardiola is good with young players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Triggs Mole, I find it perfectely reasonable to call him a fraud . On a serious note though, I hope he does improve under Guardiola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Good one. But you'd want someone he could compete with when fit, can't see Ibe dropping a division to spend much time atall on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there's a shit ton of games to play this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Isn't Ibe just another winger who can't beat his man? Looked like that to me whenever I saw him play. Same here. He did absolutely nothing against us, can't remember which full back had him in his pocket, might have been Anita. I've only seen him a couple of times though, maybe he hid all his tricks on those occasions or was still hungover from the night before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you guys just can't see anything in a player unless they have scored 20 goals or got 20 assists. The same kind of thing was said about Townsend time and time again. Some here even went as far as calling him another Obertan. Ibe is a fantastic young talent that we'd be lucky to get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
