Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

[rochdaleblue]

Don’t understand how he’s seen as an Arsenal reject when most fans seem to be sorry to see him go. Are Digne and Gomes Barca rejects?

Salah and de Bruyne are Chelsea rejects.

Last 4 seasons:

Goals

2018/19 - 3

2017/18 - 3

2016/17 - 3

2015/16 - 2

£35M - £40M ....Arsenal have just mugged Everton big time. A knee jerk last minute panic buy.

Like how you totally ignore the assists Dave.

His combined goal/assist stats for these seasons are more than reasonable, and a step up from Zaha at the same ages.

Sky Sports now saying the fee is £28m.

Was a regular for Arsenal last year and is just 23. We haven't bought one of their cast offs. They needed money to bolster their defence because it's crap.

Let's see how he does hey. Although it looks as though you've already formed your opinion and we all know what that means.

It's not good enough. Look at who he's supposed to be upgrading: Walcott.

8 goals in two seasons and 5 assists. As opposed to Iwobi over four seasons: 10 goals and 16 assists.

Is that anything like an upgrade for you mate?

£30M for another player not even as prolific as Walcott.

I think he will surprise you.

If you ever watch toffee TV, which I have done a bit of during the transfer window, they have been keeping mum for over a week on ITK information they supposedly had on a winger we were after. After the bid broke yesterday they confirmed that Iwobi was this mystery player. So I'm guessing this is the back up to Zaha. Looks like they tested the water with Palace again yesterday over Zaha and then decided to walk away and go after this lad.

The Zaha transfer request was a red herring really. It gave the fans hope, well those of us who wanted Zaha, but because Palace wouldn't budge on the price it didn't affect the deal.

So out of all the wingers in the world we had only identified Zaha and Iwobi. Great scouting system

I hope the same people complaining about his goal total aren't the same ones worshiping Bernard

 

[nsno-chris]

He won’t hardly play - what a pointless signing.

It’s called options. The ability to introduce something different

It’s quite simple really maybe that’s why you’re struggling

I think he will surprise you.

He'll have to. I've seen Arsenal fans in the last two hours on social media punching the air.

 

[jonnyboy316]

What is his work rate like?

Well I'm not. I like Bernard but was looking for us to upgrade with a player with end product this season.

We now have three wingers Bernard, Walcott and Iwobi who couldn't hit a cow on the arse with a banjo.

 

[Axlswhk]

What is his work rate like?

Excellent from what I’ve heard. Horrible finishing is the only concern

 

[Agent Blue]

Hopefully this one isn't an utter texan in the end.

Lol haven't heard that expression for years.

 

[TheBigIguana]

What is his work rate like?

Supposed to be decent. Shouldn't be an issue.

Haven’t you learnt that not everything on social media is gospel!

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

need some Zaha v Iwobi stats..

Last season for Zaha it was 0.3 goals every 90 mins and 0.15 assists every 90. And these do not fully reflect his performances or influence

For Iwobi.
Last season: 0.14 goals per 90 mins
0.27 assists

Walcott
0.21 goals per 90
0.08 assists

I know how Iwobi plays. He's bang average.

Not good enough to improve us.
