Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

[nsno-chris]

He’s Jay Jay Okocha’s nephew

So it’s a massive YES

 

[Toffe3m4n]

As others have said mate: a winger capable of delivering us 8/9/10 goals was needed. Never in a million years is a player like that getting them for us.

Whatever the exact fee, you have to wonder what goes through the head of this club handing circa £30M over for Iwobi.

Utter madness.

You've been suspiciously absent all day up until this very point Dave. Funny that!

My honest opinion -
We could’ve done better.. we had all of Europe to find a right winger. I’m kinda disappointed in Brands for this one.

Final thoughts -
He’s slightly better than Walcott.
Better dribbler but they both really suck at shooting. Hopefully Silva improves him and I will back him since he’s one of us now.

What I feared. Moshiri helping his mates out when he can.


I think there should be an investigation into the Walcott and Iwobi signings. Forensic accountants the lot.

They're certainly not easy to pick up, granted.

I said the same about Bernard, for his position he needs to contribute more goals/assists.

To be fair to Bernard though he did look a lot better in the second half of the season, and he didn't get a pre-season with us either.

Honest question do you think Iwobi is better than Zaha? If not it’s a mistake to sign him, no point defending it

What a ridiculous thing to say. Iwobi is less than half the price of Zaha

 

[Mathieubleucoyb]

Seen a few Arsenal fans saying he’s wasted on the wing and should be played as a no.10.

He’s their Bilyaletdinov isn’t he?

Correct he can carry the ball.
Looks like we got Walcott of the wing this season. We’re going to be weak on the right again

Also about 7 years younger than Walcott - plenty of time/room to develop that side of his game.

A third of the price actually, Palace wanted 100m. Still, a ridiculous thing to say yes.

 

[Acrobat]

Is this even confirmed yet?

 

[TheBigIguana]

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.

You know end product can include more than goals. And in our case we need someone who does more than score. Richarlison: scores loads creates little. Gylfi: scores loads creates little outside of his good set pieces. Bernard: doesn't really score or create. Walcott: scores a bit doesn't create. Neither DCL or Kean figures to be overly creative. We need a pure creator and that's what Iwobi could be.

 

[NiallDoobs]

I'm done now. So underwhelming! I'm glad I'm drunk right now! Bleeding Iwobi!

Still a chance this could fall through you know...
