So are you saying he is becoming a winger rather than a CF ? I would like him as one of the front 3 in a 4-3-3 or coming inside from the left in a 4-2-3-1. Think he has a good left foot for cutting inside on and he always looked to get at people, get a ball in and get a shot off. If he gets a little stronger and used to the pace of first team football, there is a player in there. He just looks a little lightweight at the moment. Need to get him on the programme Bale was on at Real Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That statement seems to simply confirm that we are interested and Ibe has spoken to the club and is aware of our interest and likely terms. Well if our interest has been confirmed, the player has spoken to Derby representatives and he's aware oh how much we can pay him, isn't that quite promising?

So are you saying he is becoming a winger rather than a CF ? He’s mostly played on the wing for the youth sides and only moved to CF with the U18s when Stretton was out for a prolonged period of time.

TooFarInToTurnRed Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Sign him on a free, value him at the 15m Bournemouth paid and claim a big profit for this years accounts! Seriously there would be no way we would pay the £40k a week he was getting and I’d hope at 24 it would be more important to him to play every week to achieve something in the game.

If we were way over budget before it might mean that although wages have gone off the books short term we cant put the back on long term. If we are close to ffp or at risk of going over then the sensible thing to do is get rid of a couple of players on wages and not replace them like for like. An academy kid on way less will fill the squad short term until we strip the club back, get the dead wood fully out of here, fill any holes in our buckets and then look to build from a solid foundation. It wont be pretty, it might look and feel drastic in the short and medium term, but I honestly feel we have to do it and wont be the only club who will.

More likely to be given a low wage / incentive based deal, if this comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney back in midfield next to Bird and Sibley in his best position Infront of the CDMs. Front 3 of Knight, Marriott and Jozwiak. Should be a lot better. Knight isn’t a winger in my opinion would rather have Whittaker there. Also Jozwiak prefers playing on the left which is where Knight has been playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 A few clubs are sniffing around Ibe. In our favour is he knows the club and the brilliant facilities and that he played his best football when with us. He's lost his way but he's only 24 so it's more than possible he can regroup and recapture his earlier form and push on from there. Seems to me he's most likely to be able to do that where he's done it before than start from scratch elsewhere. He left Derby on a high. It was exciting to see his name on the team sheet and then on the pitch. He can come back and recapture that high. Football is so much about confidence.
