Ed001, I noticed that you said on the Southampton page that they are one of many clubs that have enquirered for Jordan Ibe. Which are the other clubs? And also do you think it'd be a mistake to let him go?
Many thanks Ed and I want to say a big thank you for the tireless work that you do for all the sites!
{Ed001's Note - Boro was another, as were Rangers, off the top of my head. Yes I do think it would be a mistake, we need to keep talented players and help them realise their talent, rather than letting them go too soon..}

Watford, Bournemouth and Southampton too.

I think a loan for a season would do him good, the expectations of our fans are too high and it puts too much pressure in the younger players to deliver.

Thanks for the reply mate.

We should keep Ibe, give him another season to prove himself.

He doesn't pass the ball and when he does, it's poor most of the time. It's not a one man show out there and this boy doesn't seem to want to understand that.

i think that's a very unfair statement. Because he's playing out wide he's expected to take on players and get towards the byline to put a cross in for our other offensive players. Because he's young he's obviously still learning his trade and will make mistakes. He's obviously been coached to play like that and had a knock in confidence at the start of the season but he's defo a talented player with bags of potential. Totally agree with KopDogs who said on another thread "why should the club overpay on young players with potential and be so quick to get rid of young players already here with bags of it because they had an indifferent season? "

Id be gutted to see Ibe go. Really like the kid a lot. If he does go hopefully just a loan :)
On the topic of wingers i would like to see Marko back to though i feel quite unlikely to happen.

I doubt Ibe will be sticking around. I don't think he has the quality, fair enough he can beat a man but I think he's selfish and when he does cross there gennerly not good enough and he offers nothing going back. Maybe he has the potential to become a decent player but we need better than decent.
People keep saying that we let youngsters go too early, never given enough of a chance etc. But how many that we have let go have gone on to better things. I honestly can't think of one.
Dani Pachecco people said never got a chance hasn't set the world on fire. Adam Morgan had been dubbed the next robbie fowler but again we hear on here he was never given a chance. Think he is living the high life in Colwyn Bay. they're just two i thought of off the top of my head I'm sure there are 100s more, also maybe a success story or two there but my point is Klopp will know who he thinks is good enough for his team, I can't see Ibe being part of it.
Finally I'm not player bashing or trying to disrespect any players that is just how I see it. Hope I'm wrong too.

I wouldn't mind him going on loan there, I think that would do him good.

Matty, the problem is that his crosses don't reach the target and he doesn't pass the ball, it's a fact mate. 2 assists in 41 appearances!
One completed cross! For a winger this is a nightmare statistic.
