Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

[Hawhaw]

Don’t be fooled by the statistics. Remember Walcott’s the season before he joined us.

In all honesty I’d rather have kept lookman then shell out all this money on Iwobi.

What the...

Wait for the window to close. Lookman didn't want to be here. If we get Zaha then we upgraded

I agree. But the costs and all that matter. I'm not really here to get into it all but signing Zaha and Iwobi and selling Lookman for a net of 100m+ going out of the club or keeping Lookman and being maybe a bit worse but saving money is a reasonable question.

None of it matters because we managed him in a way that he was never going to stay another season.

Are you OK? Is it too late for an ambulance?

They didn't lie. Walcotts stats suggested he was a goal scoring winger who lacked creative quality and that's what he was at Arsenal and is now. He'd actually be a reasonable squad member if it wasn't for Richarlison being the same style of player but at a higher level.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Everyone’s saying he’s gash. I’ve seen him on more than 1 occasion completely destroy our defence at Goodison. His record against us is pretty good. Lookman wasn’t happy Owobi is an upgrade definitely good player to have in the squad

Haha, I am picturing some hollywood style scene where Brands's notebook gets knocked off a table and he accidentally picks up Walsh's old one whilst some jaunty music plays.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Is he any better than another walcott? If signing him i hope so , alot so or otherwise complete waste of money

 

[blueblue]

I can't say I know much about him but I know that when we played Arsenal at home at the end of last season he caused us more trouble in half an hour than the rest of the team did all game.

That may have been a once off, but he was very good that day.

I think people need to realise just how young he is and how much he could improve.

We are looking at paying 80m for Zaha, at 23 he was a Utd reserve.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Go and get him

I must be in the minority, but I have come away impressed with Iwobi the times I’ve watched arsenal

Possibly, but when their fans are saying "I'll drive him there myself" (which is what a lot said about Walcott too) you have to worry.

same here!

 

[LydiateLee]

Ok

Lookman and Deulofeu both better than this lad.
