Sometimes players just can't express themselves on the pitch/in a certain set up/at a certain club. I've not seen enough of either lad to really hold much of an opinion but they both seemed to be reasonably well thought of. I remember an interview with Alex Ferguson ages ago about either Kleberson or Djemba Djemba, shiver one it was he was saying that the performances in training etc. we're phenomenal but they just couldn't do it in a pressured match situation. Funny how it goes sometimes, if ability alone was enough, Ibe would've done well for us, there's just so much more to it than that.
Reality is you can’t judge a player by playing the odd few minutes of a game . Players need a proper run, something we were unable to do
Yes, but regardless of whether he got another move or not, surely for Man City it makes more sense for them to have him with them where they can monitor his progress and he can play a high standard of reserve team football. Here he will be doing nothing. Why would we even bother to play him in the reserves? Absolutely no benefit to us.
He’s not in our 25 man squad, he isn’t going to play for us. Surely in terms of protecting the player and monitoring his progress, he would be better off back at Man City. He’ll get more out of playing Premiere league 2 (or whatever it’s called) football and training with world class players than he will from sitting on his **************** here. Surely that’s a no brainer?
