Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

[Pittsburgh Footy]

We're supposedly trying to break into the top 6, and instead we blow a fortune on an arsenal sub. Arsenal being one of the teams we're trying to overtake.

That's not a fortune in today's market for a 23 year old with success in the Premier League already

 

[MikeH72]

Absolutely not, had Ferguson stayed Zaha could’ve developed into a 1st choice Utd winger which Iwobi won’t be for a top 6 side

Absolutely flawless combination of hindsight and foresight there mate, hats off to you, you’re my favourite new poster at the minute.

 

[Ivo]

Quite happy with Iwobi. He's fast and direct and I felt he always had a raw deal at Arsenal by never getting a good run in the team.
He's younger, faster and hungrier than Walcott and just so much better than Bolassie. So an upgrade in my view.

But they're not in the starting 11 for us. If he's better than our subs, but not our starting 11 he's not improving the team

 

[Toffeepot]

I had given up and headed out at 4.50...so this has been a pleasant suprise. Overall a great window

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

My mate is a Celtic fan has only raved about two Celtic players in the last 10 years, despite all their success. Van Dijk and Tierney.

I know we are covered in that position, but I still think we should have targeted him. I mean, Robertson is the best in his position in the league, but in Scotland Tierney is rated higher. Including by our own Pat Nevin

 

[Walken]

Little bit undecided, nit a bad player but not on zahas level

That's not a fortune in today's market for a 23 year old with success in the Premier League already

What success?

 

[banno]

Why are people thinking this means no zaha? It was reported by a few people that we were trying to sort deals for both. This isn’t a panic buy after the zaha deal fell through. It had all been planned

Shhhh we didn't have any other plans didn't you know?

Give the lad a chance and have some trust and faith in Silva and Brands.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Does he even count as an automatic starter? If not then it’s even more ridiculous

 

[Stan Lee Park]

But they're not in the starting 11 for us. If he's better than our subs, but not our starting 11 he's not improving the team

OK mate. I'll just go and slit my throat now then.

 

[sir_christoffee]

Not sure why there is all this negativity all positions covered except CB. We cleared a bunch of dead wood and just about broke even on fees.

 

[T LEAFE]

I guess the litmus paper test is..
Did you ever think “Oh god Iwobi is starting for Arsenal against us”...?

 

[AFC_Iwobi]

You've got a good player. He's come through Arsenal's youth system and possesses our trademark technical ability. He's got good strength, ball control and creativity. One area he can improve is in his end product. He's the opposite of Walcott in that regard, who offers end product and not much else. But Iwobi is still young and I'll be following him to see if a run of games can give him that consistency that Arsenal couldn't give.
