You couldn't be more wrong paul, Ibe may have a bit to go to reach his full potential, but he's already better than Sterling and has much greater potential than Sterling has. I really hope both of them remain injury free and the proof of their relative abilities will be there for all to see.


Actually I think your wrong on this occasion, you cannot say a player like Jordan Ibe who has less than 20 Premiership games under his belt is a better player than a full international with nearly 3 full seasons of top level football under his belt.

Don't get me wrong, I think Sterling is over-rated and Ibe has huge potential but saying that Ibe is the better player as of now is wrong.


Completely right Chris. He doesn't have a leg to stand on with this, Sterling is very obviously the better player right now. Ibe might become better who knows but there is no competition currently.

If Ibe was better than Sterling, City would have bought him instead - at fraction of the cost.
We all 'like' Ibe more but let's not that cloud our judgement. Sterling was superb the year before last - admittedly, he benefitted from Sturridge and Suarez but his ability was there for all to see. Yes he had a poor season last year but who didn't??? He was still one of our best players despite having the fans on his back and not wanting to be there.

Ibe may well become better - he may not. One thing's for sure though, if he decides to leave then a lot of fans will question his loyalty and be saying how useless he is.

What's the situation with Ibe's contract?

He was stalling until recently but I believe he has now signed a new one?

It all depends if Ibe get's as much game time as Sterling has, otherwise he won't progress a quick as Sterling has.

Ibe looks like a player, but you cannot say he is better than sterling as he has not proven he is so far. It's all speculation at the moment.

No it's opinion, and that's all any of us has, and in my opinion from what I've seen from both of these still very much developing players, Ibe is the better of the two at this moment, and I'd go further and say that Ibe has the greater potential of the two. However as I've already said, either or both of them may never reach their ultimate potential given the many bumps and twists that lies in their path. I would also say that Ibe is now at a better place and in a better position to realise his potential, as a couple of off form games at City could well see Sterling benched, he's at a crucial point now and needs to hit the ground running there.
