2021/22 Alex Iwobi

[Tony101]

Rafael will make sure of this, he is the boss now

That’s probably one positive with Benitez I don’t think he would let Moshiri pick any signings. Brands should have been strong enough to tell Moshiri no but he wasn’t and Benitez wanted him gone so he can be in full control.

Desperately hope the end is nigh for him, but deep down know full we'll he's just another Bolasie who will bleed us dry until the end of his contract.

Another willing to sacrifice his once promising career to line his pockets at stupid old Everton.

Wish I could get in on a slice of that action.

Flog him to Celtic. He might do ok playing against Ross County and other rubbish teams. £15m bargain.

Bahahaha, Postecoglou wouldnt even allow him to attend a stadium tour let alone taking him on

Didn’t work out too well for John Joe Kenny.

I’m not convinced on him in the transfer market, but it’s still a hell of a lot better than Moshiri/Brands/Kenwright to a lesser extent all sticking their noses in - too many cooks and all that. Prefer a simple process where the scouts scout, and the manager decides which players fit their system.

I have no idea how accurate this is but I've read on the paragon of news that is FB that Iwobi has deleted all his everton related posts on social instagrambook or whatever modern blather has replaced Shoot magazine. Interesting ya?

Looking forward to seeing Iwobi play in the African Cup of Nations this year, hopefully Nigeria go all the way to the final in which case it would only be fair for Alex to join his team mates in their celebratory return to their homeland.

I understand it'll be upsetting for him but he'll have to realise he's not a premier league standard player.

Once he does that and moves on... he'll be happy.

Iwobi the enigma.........best trainer apparently oozing with skill and strength gives all his managers the dilemma. Big Dunc should have been making it clear to all managers that despite being the best trainer he is gash where and when it matters....in a game situation.

Iwobi was the classic panic buy. He is the classic expensive mistake. We will take a massive hit on his transfer fee and on his wages. However it is long past the time when we have to except reality and pay him his money and accept whatever fee we can get for him. I watched him against Chelsea and there is no doubt he covered a lot of ground he did nothing positive during the game. He isn’t good enough or suited to Everton. Unfortunately we have a few like him.

 

[Zeitgeist]

I just can't believe how bad he's actually been. Don't get how he's a premier League player

He is gash but I also think he's not arsed about footy, you only have to look at his demeanour when he comes on as a sub for us. He's happy as long as a massive wedge in wages is going into his bank account.

This.

Carlo in theory would have had that juice but as long as he could bring in some old pals, amble on the beach at Crosby and get a nice Rioja I don’t think he cared what FM BK MB did.

FM is hoisted on his own petard here- he’s given the keys to the candy store to RB who is a stubborn miserable knob and will not brook dissent. So he can’t say much when RB tells him to go piss up a rope.

Here is my animating principle for the next year or so: it is much more important to avoid bad signings than to make good ones, as sour as that may seem. The best move we could have made recently is to NOT sign Iwobi on stupid money. For the same outlay we could have brought in 2-3 squad players and/or youngsters and if even one of them became a regular in the XI we would be light years ahead.

I looked at the high lites on Match of the Day and he even looked awful in them.

In fairness, any manager should only need to see him in a game once, to work that out for himself.
