“He’d walk this league” – Celtic fans react to Jordon Ibe rumours

According to reports from footballscotland, Celtic are lining up a season-long loan move for Bournemouth wide-man Jordon Ibe.

READ CELTIC VERDICT

I’m not sure any Celtic fan has a massive problem with the idea of adding Ibe to the squad but the main issue surrounds the need for defenders rather than another winger.

Despite this, though, the Bournemouth star is full of talent and a chance to play consistently for a club the size of Celtic might reignite a career that has stuttered on the south coast.

Let’s not forget that some football fans once had him on the same level as Raheem Sterling…
