The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I swear his Twitter picture was in a DCFC shirt previously? His current one is in a Liverpool kit. Not much to go on but again these things can add little clues. Thorne changed his picture back to him in a DCFC shirt shortly before he signed. As you say maybe just a minor thing BUT if you are right and he has taken the trouble to change his picture it might just be a little inkling of where his mind is. Ward for the Forest game?

condor Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Scott Sinclair Jessie Lingard Can't think of any more available that we could likely get. Sinclair is a long long shot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'd prefer Ward if he is fit. No matter is Ibe here or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I won't be too disappointed if he goes. Poor decision by Liverpool though, he's nowhere near good enough for the prem yet. Same here. I'd have quite happily driven him back myself after the Norwich game, he'd been by and large awful up until that point. He's played fairly well over Christmas, but he's still got massive problems with his game that will get horribly exposed against Prem teams. And he's cup tied as well, so it's not like they can use him in minor competitions to rest other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernram1774 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Calero not yet ready. Dawkins not performing recently. Ward injury prone but good. Russell good. I'm fine with Dawkins as a fourth winger but think we need another, unless it appears Calero is ready to step up... Think we'd have seen more during Ward's injury period though tbh.

Kernow Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 As you say maybe just a minor thing BUT if you are right and he has taken the trouble to change his picture it might just be a little inkling of where his mind is. Ward for the Forest game? I'd have played Ward regardless of Ibe leaving or not. Ibe would be a great player to have to come on in this sort of game if we we had a short lead with 20 to go.

redmike65 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 heh! I thought you'd all be a bit annoyed! As a red I'd prefer he saw out the season with the Rams and possibly another 5 months next season if you were promoted however if this is true I'm also a bit excited by seeing him play some games for us - how many of course is the real question. No point in being a bench warmer and as he is clearly working his passage at Derby I'm going to assume Rogers has a plan for him in the EL and Cups with sub appearances in the league. I also suspect if he is back it's because at least one of our non scoring strikers is off and Sterling will be partnered with Sturridge so leaving a space on the left flank for Ibe in some games. Given DCFC have taken Wisdom and Ibe from Pool I think the club should continue the arrangement and have Sheyi Ojo for the rest of this season and all next, he is going to be top gravy.

Dimmu Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I wouldn't want Lingard. Definitely good player but too similar to Dawkins. I'd prefer out-and-out winger, similar to Ibe to give us more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Wow, this is one hectic transfer window!!! I am disappointed that Ibe has gone but not as serious a loss as Eustace in my opinion. Sammon gone as well, so administration staff are getting good overtime money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Wow. Lost a lot of respect here for Liverpool and Brendan. Ibe is nowhere near ready to be a part of their match day squad. He has been nowhere near consistent enough for us. Huge mistake on their part. Will only hinder his progress. To be involved in our final push for automatic promotion would do him a world of good. The best thing for Ibe would have been to end this season with us and remain throughout next to play PL football with us for another season. Is he making the same cock up as he has with Flanagan.

tomsdubs Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ibe isn't ready for the prem, the intensity would be way too much for him. He's too relaxed for the championship the majority of the time. Only game we really saw intensity from him is Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any reportings of us linked to him. For 250k though it may be worth the shout. We'd probably may in excess of that for a loanee to replace Ibe.

He isn't good enough for you. He'd still be behind Jamie Ward if Ward could stay fit. He's only just starting to come into his own and essentially this loan deal has been cut short before it even really started. I was backing him to have a storming second half of the season, where he'd show what he can really do. Instead he'll get 10 minutes here and there in 'Pool's first team and completely flounder.

TobyWanKenobi Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Unfortunate timing as he is a quality player, but we do have able replacements in Dawkins and Ward, with Calero no doubt wanting to get off the bench more and more too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
