2023/24 Alex Iwobi

[Tony’s Carp]

Think the fact he’s accepted the move says a lot about him tbh. Probably his last big move and it’s a sideways one, he’ll achieve nothing more there than he would here. Glad he isn’t but he’d have been better off running it down and being an attractive free agent.

Biggest driver of the move seems to be living in London rather than any sporting ambition and that says it all about his priorities.

How weird do you have to be to sign up to a club’s forum and make wild posts in defence of a player your club sold like 5 years ago

Yeah London is obviously a big draw as he seems to be down there a lot anyway. Has mates at Fulham as well by all accounts.

Oh what a day, start of September in '23,
We got shut of Axel Iwobi
Deadline line, oh what a day

Imagine paying 65m for Kai Havertz and then opening your mouth.

I wouldnt have the nerve to open my trap.

It's no surprise to me that once he became a regular first reamer with us is when we became a relegation threatened side.

There's been glimmers of hope that he could become something more. But overall he's been awful for us. Considering he's only got a year left, we've had Fulham off here.

As ive said, he joined a side that finished 8th.

He leaves a team in 20th.

£22m is excellent money given the circumstances.

That goal he scored to relegate Charlton is still one of the best goals we’ve scored in the past thirty years though.

True, although I’d stormed off a few minutes earlier following Darren Bent’s equaliser so I missed it

 

[Furey1878]

Wasn't his fault the divvies at our club paid a ridiculous fee for him. Like a lot of players, he suffered from the constant chopping and changing and being part of a Frankenstein's monster squad.

Was very pleased for him when the penny dropped about how to get the respect of the Evertonian's. From then on was one of our hardest workers.

For all those who call him a sh!thouse as well, it's worth remembering that being brave isn't just going full pelt into tackles, it's also about always showing for the ball and be willing to receive it under pressure whereas we've had a lot of cowards over the years that just hide from the ball. I think that will be something we miss in Iwobi but hopefully players like McNeil and Harrison can take that on.

But yeah, 22 mil is very good business for us, best of luck to him.

Back in the glory days when he was kept out of the team by such superstars as Bernard and Walcott.

Fantastic that we won't have to see him buzzing around making fake challenges again. Day drinking to celebrate I think

We certainly need to depart from Iwobi-ball and embrace Beto-ball.

An appropriate play on a great song, as he was with us for the four seasons.

Might get a chippy tea to celebrate!
