Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

Blueclouds · August 8, 2019

Zaha was struggling at man u and Cardiff, only turned it around it the last 2 seasons.

Walcott is a better player. The amount of stick he gets is unfair. His goal scoring record at Arsenal is far superior and even his ratio here is better than Iwobi’s. Every Time I have seen Iwobi play he has been poor.

You might not be a fan of Iwobi, I myself haven’t seen enough of him to comment. But I have seen a lot of Walcott last season and frankly he stank the place out. He is a fading force and if we have aspirations to break into the top 6, we don’t get it starting with Walcott.

35 to 40 million we're being robbed

How is it Spurs can get Sessegnon for 25mil but we're overpaying for average players, I don't mind the signing but the valuation is stupid

Brilliant player. World class.

Without turning into CRIMHEAD, he is creative folks.

What a lot of people have done is write the lad off before he’s pulled on the shirt.

.....based on substantial supporting evidence which suggests he's no more than bang average.

Arsenal fan here. He's not a top player, a decent player but we're happy with the fee:

Strengths

Close control/dribbling
First touch
Strength
Pace
Link Up play
Workrate
short passing game
ball retention

Weaknesses

Finishing - his technique and placement is poor

He's also much better as a CAM than a winger. I expect he could progress with more game time.

It was a surprise to many of us he made it out of our academy over others

This is a nonsense, the best thing about him is his ball retention decision making, albeit not in front of goal

Pretty sure I saw this exact post from a Crystal Palace fan when we signed Bolasie...

and some of you were touting Zaha to be Bolasie 2.0, you ain’t seen nothing yet

Signing from the championship v signing from the EPL.

I'm guessing because Sessegnon was pretty dreadful in his only PL season.

Welcome Alex!

Like the old saying goes, You can never have too many Nigerians (I think that was Descartes)

Cogito, ergo sum.....

Yup that's Descartes saying alright, translates loosely as "Corr git let's errrrr... go get sum" .....more of the lads

Yobo, Yakubu, Anichibebe.. looking forward to the old chants back again, "feed the Iwobi and he will score", "bloody hell Victor, how'd ya miss that" , " Oy Fernabache, wheres the ********** money you owe us for Yobo"...
