Out of contract

.... that he's possibly a class Championship player and no more than that?

That’s a fair point too, MA...but it’s six years since he was with us last. Still not convinced.

Sorry, not so sure. Hardly set the football world alight at Bournemouth. His best days seemed to be with us, but that was a while ago and his contribution over the last two seasons has been negligible.
Bournemouth seem likely to be playing in the Championship next season. You have to ask why they don’t seem to want him.

That might be the cause, mista...I wouldn’t know...but the effect is, they seem to have been paying a lot of money for very little in return.
Not a good or likely prospect imo. Think Cocu has more sense.

6 years, how time flies. I think that we felt, at the time, that he had some raw talent, but wasn't ready for Premier league football. I think that Liverpool didn't do Ibe or us any favours, when they recalled him half way through the loan.
