Thought Ibe would replace Sterling too. Rated Assaidi as an unorthodox talent as well. Think that's about as bad as it got in rating players. To be fair Ibe had it all physically and technically from a young age, but as it has now been shown through the years, doesn't have the mental game to be a top wide attacker. Don't mean mental strength but the thought processes, the ability to read an opponent, engage, go past consistently.
Assaidi's a bit of a mystery. Impossible to get the ball off, could've been a lot more useful than he was, iirc there was a rumour about his signing being foisted on Rodgers, it being more a club scouting department signing rather than a Brendan pick.
