I think the fact Ojo was getting more playing time the end of the season really was the writing on the wall for Ibe under Klopp and to get 15m from him is good business. I do believe he got the potential to become a solid Premiership quality player if he figures out how to read the game better (which players figure out with experience).
Exactly right. Parts of that could be due to inconsistency of playing time and just the pressures of being at a huge club at such a young age. The same walls that Benteke hit in my opinion. Which is why I think he could put up some better numbers and performances at a club like Bournemouth. Price is just very inflated to me, would be tough to turn down. Especially when we could potentially turn that around and get Blaszczykowski to perform the same role (backup winger for Mane/Couts/Firmino) for a third of the price who would do a proven better job than Ibe's been doing.
I think Ibe will make a player I really do. I'd have gone with a season long loan rather than a sale myself, but we'll know within 18 months whether or not taking the 15 mill was a good move.
EDIT In the child like rush to start a thread like the sad little bell whiffer that I am I've spelt his name wrong. I've edited my original post but it seems to still be wrong in the replies if a kind mod can sort it for me please.
A lot of young players stall in their development, even Gerrard did, so seems a little hasty, but maybe he hasn't helped himself at times?
Have a soft spot for the lad but I think 15m is a good offer for him.
My first LFC game in person, Gerrard came on for McManaman when the latter was injured, at about 25 minutes. He was so ineffective, Houllier subbed him out at the break for David Thompson!I remember wondering what that meant for his future.
Yeah, I had high hopes for Gerrard once too , I wonder whatever happened to him?
I just think he is "mentally" a bit young and its not a criticism of him but just look at how much front players cost now and he will improve with age and experience. But if we sell him lets not get shafted.
