In his last season at Anfield Ibe was very average.There the move to Bournemouth is a good move for him as he can become a regular at his new club rather than having a bit part role to play like he did at Anfield. With the next World Cup not too far away and the qualification rounds set to begin soon, the former Wycombe Wanderers winger will have to perform consistently to improve on his fading reputation as one of the best in England.
