Out of favour Ibe will soon be on his way

It has been a very unsuccessful last few years for Jordan Ie at Bournemouth. I always felt he had the talent to be a steady Premier League player, but he lost his focus and is now on the scrap heap as far as his club is concerned with no way back, and only a one way ticket out of Bournemouth, since he crashed his Bentley in a London cafe.

Jordan may go north of the border when his contract ends.

The traumas of Jordan Ibe should be coming to an end very soon, as Bournemouth look to dispense with his services this summer as his contract runs out. It has been a big fall from being the club's record signing at one point, to not even being considered for squads in the Premier League. At present, Celtic seem to be making the most noise about wanting to take the former Liverpool winger as long as he can take a £40k weekly pay cut. Ibe has been pocketing far too good a salary at the Cherries for too long, and it will be a huge saving just to see him go now.

Why it all went wrong is something only Jordan can reply to. It seems madness that when a player has a chance to make a name in the Premier League that they can throw it all away so easily, but Jordan is not the first and there will be many more. Perhaps he didn't find it easy to settle in Bournemouth, but he also found it hard at Liverpool. Whoever does go for Ibe will be taking a gamble, but I still see that there is a very good footballer in him if someone can bring it out of him.

While Ibe has been doing his bit in playing for the U21s, he has suffered his time enough at AFCB and I wish him all the best in his next opportunity. But opportunities will be running out fast for him, and I hope he values what comes next as it's probably his last chance to win over a club that is offering him a step back up.
