Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

[blueblue]

Arsenal have had a tremendous window. Imagine signing Tierney for 25M and selling Iwobi for 35 rising to 40. That Raul guy at Arsenal looks like a real DOF!

Or, in twelve months Arsenal supporters could be calling for him to be sacked, we will see what the season brings.

It's crazy , we paid more for Iwobi than they paid for Tierney .

Yep, and they had enough to sign another hair bear into the bargain.

Love the way people throw that final pass and finishing thing in like its not that much to get. Its huge and what seperates very good players from average/decent ish players.

Exactly, it’s like saying “DCL can do everything except score goals” that’s why you pay big money for end product

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.

Id stand by my assessment here to be honest.

Huge potential, but a lot of work needed from our coaches and the lad himself to realize it.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Yes

This could be important. Not this year maybe but in future seasons as Brands continues to shop abroad for most of our new players.

Better than spending twice as much on Zaha but I’m not really having this signing

Could he play upfront?

 

[Blue_Berry]

Looks like the club was panicking after not signing Zaha but I still think hes going to be a quality addition to the squad just like Walcott.

Wouldn't say so mate. We bid for him a couple of days ago and were turned down, so he must have been on Brands's radar. Allegedly it was to be as well as Zaha.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Best argument I can make for this signing is that we are a direct side. He won’t be quite the player in the buildup hat Bernard is, but he can be a better outlet. This would have made more sense if Gueye was still here as well because I’m not sure Gbamin will be quite the same on the counter attack. We will see

 

[Baines' left foot]

My Arsenal mate is laughing his head off at 35m. Then he said " How do expect to catch up with us if you take our rejects then pay us for the privilege?"
He has a point.

AAARRRRGGGHHH

Not happy about this. Tell him from me that he can do one!!!!

 

[Acrobat]

Wow. Way to go to all those making this guy feel welcome. He hasn't even kicked a ball for us yet.

He's 3 years younger than Zaha. Zaha would have joined us today If a) he wanted to, and b) we wanted to fork out 80 million plus. Lets move on.

Im more concerned we still have Niasse, Martina, Miralles and Tosun still on our books. I would have said Besic, but I just noticed he's off.

 

[blueblue]

It has the zaha saga has done me in

Unfortunately, I think most of us had our expectations raised by the Zaha saga, anything else could be seen as underwhelming, I think Iwobi will prove to be a very good signing.

 

[everton1953]

Don't fancy us at Palace, especially if Zaha plays although I believe he is being "rested".

It's crazy , we paid more for Iwobi than they paid for Tierney .

Tierney who got a bad injuries and never been tested in this league

It's crazy , we paid more for Iwobi than they paid for Tierney .

They paid more for Tierny than we did for Gomes or Digne
