I’m gonna put it out there, I don’t think he will start for Derby this season in the league..... Out of all the signings we’ve made, I think this is the strangest one going for me. I think we are living on a “past time” with this..... Like to be proven wrong, but we all mocked the Kazim signing, at least he’s making match day squads.... Let's be honest, his welcome video was a little bizarre, he looked like I did after 3 months of lockdown (or Rooney), really surprised me that a young man trying to secure a contract had not kept himself fit. Made me realise that he probably didnt have too many suitors and it was more a case that we were willing to give him a chance given his time with us. It's a risk worth taking though, get him fit and firing and we have 1 hell of a player on our hands, but if his head has totally gone, we may never see that player.

Ibe has played in one U23 match and looked every bit special as he did when he last played for us. However, I think there is an argument that the first team aren't in the best of shape at the moment, and the mood is not so great, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're just trying to get Ibe to peak physical condition so that he can put his best foot forward from day one. Not struggle with fitness, then lose confidence and THEN lose his head. Whatever it takes so that we see the best Ibe on the pitch, we need to wait. Bobby Duncan is another one in a similar predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 So bored of reading people calling him fat. There's multiple videos on his instagram which prove otherwise. He is built. He's solid with the body type of Waghorn, or even Jozwiak who's also quite top heavy. Having that body type with his quickness and skills is what made him a £16m Premier League player.

I think it's a combination of him being bigger than when he was last here (a 24 year old being bigger than an 18 year old ? shocking) and people looking for reasons as to him not playing.

Millenniumram Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Think it’s a bit harsh to criticise the signing of Ibe based on his lack of appearances so far. We all knew when he signed that he was going to take a while to get match fit, he hadn’t trained in about 6 months! It was always a bit of a risky signing to be fair as we don’t know whether he’ll regain his best form, but having seen what he’s capable of when fully firing, it’s a risk worth taking. He’ll be a class above if we can get him back playing at his peak. And anyway, he was signed for free and on a relatively short term 2 year deal, so it’s not like it’ll be a massive disaster if it doesn’t work out. Its just unlucky that he’s ill at the moment, so we’ve had to push his next U23 game back. But it’s hardly that big a deal, if all goes well he should get 90 mins on Friday, and then be fully fit after the international break. One extra game without him is hardly that significant, especially with Jozwiak back fit - Ibe was always the bonus signing on the wing anyway, Jozwiak is the main new man there. The only negative I can see with the signing of Ibe is we got him but not a new striker. I’d argue a second winger wasn’t as Hugh priority as a new first choice forward. Once we signed Jozwiak that should have been our focus, if we couldn’t afford to sign both Ibe and a new ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Max Bird missed the last game also with "a health issue' (not Covid)" according to the OS interview with Cocu, so possibly something else has.been doing the rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
