Ibe all the way for me, i think sterling could be quite effective played through the center as a striker in the future
 
Early days, but think they'll be different type of players.

Sterling more like Walcott.

Ibe more like Oxlade-Chamberlain.
 
I voted Ibe but it's a toss up. I think Sterling's more nimble, probably better acceleration, can change direction very very quickly. I think they're his main advantages over Ibe.

Ibe is faster, much stronger, waaay better shot, and I think he's mentally stronger and has a better attitude. So basically I think Ibe's advantages are stronger than Sterling's.

I agree. I think he is more level-headed than Sterling, and his shooting is in a whole different bracket. When he catches a shot it can be with a Gerrardesque kind of power not all players can muster.

I love his running style when he's breaking free of defence – he runs with a peculiar erect Michael Johnson style sprint that is a joy to behold. He's rapid. Surely the fastest player on our books.
 
That sprint on the counter vs Indonesia to set up Sterling's goal was amazing, for sure. Very very quick over 30+ yards, one of the fastest I've seen.
 
I think Ibe has far more potential, but both could become very useful players. I wonder about Sterling's game intelligence, he's never struck me as that bright or quick in his thinking. Ibe isn't as alert as Sinclair, but he's improving far more rapidly than Sterling ever did and physically he makes a much more powerful attacking figure than Sterling. Raheem could be fantastic but he really needs to listen to his coach and work damned hard to take his game on to the next level. His shooting has always had a wildness about it that really needs changing,and too often, still, once he's done his tricks he tends to lose composure. As Gerrard said, it's time to step up (not over).
 
I like the fact that they're good friends on and off the pitch and help each other out.
 
They'll both be excellent, and will both be sold to top 4 clubs in one of Europe's top leagues by the time they're 22 for 25 mill +
 
Sterling is the better player at the moment without a doubt. However, Ibe may well develop into a better player. Excited for both talents at the club.

Great to see the banter between them and motivating one another.
 
We have a very bright future with out attack with the likes of Hendo, Sturridge, Coutinho, Sterling and Ibe all either in the team already or on the fringes.
