Jordon Ibe

[Rich]

I think he's been told he can leave in the summer. I think it would be a mistake but kloppos the man.

I suspect he'll be leaving in the summer. I'm in two-minds, he's still so very young and has most of the ingredients to become a really good player, however he's not kicked on. In fact, he seems to have become less effective.

If it wasn't for someone like Ojo or Kent waiting in the wings as 'talented young wide attacker' in the squad then I'd not sell Ibe.

If he does leave then we've got to smart on the deal, decent fee with lots of added extras if the boy does reach his potential.

IMO Ojo is above Ibe now

Agree Ojo has game intelligence - something that Ibe has shown no signs of having.

Rumoured that his new agent is our old friend aidy ward.

I don't see a relationship between appearances and ability to add new skills to your game. A player can do this at any age, the physical traits are what can be limiting sometimes.

Physically Ibe is blessed, he's strong and fast.

It's his decision making that lets him down most of the time- this can be improved and most likely will be with more experience imo.

Unless you are Ryan Babel

He has made 50 senior appearances for Liverpool so it's not as if he is likely to yield any new aspects to his basic game, only use what he has better so a loan might or might not eek that extra quality out but I'd not sell him.

If we do sell him (as he's been linked with Watford), I'd include a buy-back clause and/or a sell-on clause if possible.

[Corndog]

why would we sell now?

he has lots of time still only 20 years old.

he's not worth a lot atm either and isn't on big wages so the down side to keeping him is very low.

the up side of the gamble is he develops as a player or a sterling who can be sold for 50 mil down the line. Even if he develops into a mid table player and gets sold we will get a bigger fee for him down the line.


plenty of 20 year olds haven't even made senior debuts at lesser teams yet, he's ahead of the curve experience wise for his age.

[danperkins]

At his age he needs more game time. At the moment he hasn't shown that he's is at the level to what we need but a few mins here and there will do him no good... a loan move makes sense alright.

[Fosterbloke]

I'd send him out on a season long loan next season to a prem side preferably.
