Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

[Coggy]

This is a transfer that I hope doesn't come off. It's a swerve from me.

Was coming here to post the same thing. Seems like a waste of money.

Thinking it’s a tactic to show palace we have other options than Zaha. Marcels poker game.
Or he is the backup option!!
( I know which I prefer)

I wouldn’t mind this lad to be honest .
He’s a good player and at a good age to expect continued improvement.
Fair price too, considering the market.

That seems to be the problem for Arsenal fans mate, since his debut 4 seasons ago he hasn't kicked - on.

I like Iwobi, always have, he’s raw potential though, he needs a lot of coaching, he would also seriously improve with regular games and a key role in a team, instead of a supporting role.

I can see why our management are interested and they have enough trust in the bank for us to back this decision.

We are buying raw potential here and a player who needs a lot of development work to realize that potential, fair head room though.

He’s also Jay Jay Okochas nephew, loved Jay Jay.

Someone mentioned it earlier but he was the only player in that Arsenal team that looked a threat when we smashed them at home despite only managing to score one goal, He looked pretty lively.
The signing has pros and cons but I won't be foaming at the mouth if he signed, Fits the Brands model, PL ready etc.

Nor have Arsenal though. Been mediocre at best.

I’m warming to the idea...

 

[brieverton]

I'm fine with Iwobi as long as it doesn't mean we get played to allow Arsenal buy Zaha.

Quite true and if he had kicked on as hoped then we wouldn’t have the chance to sign him.
He’s proved himself a good player nonetheless and moving to a new challenge and new coaches may be what he needs to progress. He’s still a young player after all.

Could easily say that about us mate over the last few years.

 

[Zaschrona]

I just don't understand why so many of you think he is bad. He would be the best dribbler and the most creative player in our club. GET IN.

 

[Charro]

Good player, would be happy to see him here.

Mad how people think this would be throwing money away but are willing to see us pay whatever to get zaha.

I like zaha btw, but this is a better deal for us imo.

Get both anyway.

Change of scenery might work wonders? Not writing him off, but he is no Zaha yet...
