Question for Ed001 if he's about. Soz if you ever answered this before, but who do you believe will become the better all round player in the future between Sterling and Ibe? Cheers

{Ed001's Note - I have always though Ibe was a better player, I never understood why it was Sterling that was given the first dibs on a place. Ibe is everything Sterling is but turned up a notch + raw power. I have said it since before either got a chance with us. There is no doubt in my mind that Ibe is now better and will become much better in the future.}

Do you think the staff at the club see Ibe as better than Sterling?

I agree Ed. Ibe genuinely has you on the edge of your seat sometimes.

His performance in the Derby was outstanding given his age, experience and the occasion.

He could easily knock expensive signings out of the starting XI.

Cheers Ed, i agree, i think his end product will be better than Sterling's ams his off and on field temperament

I don't disagree with anything that has been said. I said the same about jordan 2 years ago. However, let's not down play how good sterling is and can be. On his day and with confidence he is unplayable and will be a big loss to the team. Of course given the same opportunity jordan may have gone past sterling, but i feel the low key introduction may benefit him. Give him time to develop outside the intense spotlight of the media frenzy that always comes with slightly better than average players which invariably swells their already swollen egos. Daniel has taken jordan under his wing and he seems to still be humble

I firmly believe that firmino is currently better than sterling but not sure if he has peaked in terms of his development or whether there is more to come. But he will be an excellent player for us for years to come i hope.

Always been a fan of ibe every since he came to us as a kid.

Ibe has everything where as sterling just relies on his pace.

Also ed I'd imagine sterling got first dibs down to the fact he's slightly older.

But IMO its worked out well because the media have bigged sterling up to be this 50mil man.
