To be honest I think we seriously over rate the lad.  I've seen him called all sorts like brightest young English talent in years.  Truth is he's got some way to go to reach the levels of the likes of Lennon and Walcott.  Two players who aren't even all that themselves.  

 

Don't get me wrong, he does have many of the tools.  He's not really shown he knows what to do with them yet though.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Ibe makes a bigger impact at the club in the long run.

I disagree, he's a rare talent that will only get better with age and experience. The technique is there, he can score goals, great pace and is intelligent with his play. It may be the london thing thats holding people back from taking to him, if he was a scouser he'd get bigged up much more on here than he does. I think him and Suso are both excellent, and it was a mistake buying Alberto and loaning Moses. Suso is better than Alberto and Sterling is as good as Moses.

I agree Suso is better than Alberto, but Moses is superior to Sterling, who in reality is a bit of a nothing player.

Firstly I would say that putting Lennon and Walcott in the same bracket is wrong. Walcott is an assist machine and more of a goalscorer too. Walcott is two years younger than Lennon and is a much better player. With the players Spurs are bringing in I don't think Lennon will be at Spurs much longer.

 

At the moment I would say Sterling is quite a way ahead of Ibe. Sterling has shown himself to be a good squad player for us already. He still has a lot of work to do to hold down a place in our starting lineup though.

Ibe needs to work on his decision-making, he gets in great positions but then hesitates and the chance is gone.

 

Great talent though, he's strong quick and can go past players. Could develop into an out-and-out striker IMO, not a natural goalscorer at the moment but he has it in him to improve in this department

 

Raheem is much more of a traditional winger and still has to build up his physique but is electric and a real threat on the break. Seems to be playing within himself for the 1st team I'd like to see him let loose more often it's like he's tried to learn all the worst bits off Downing
