Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

[TheBigIguana]

Wish I could have seen the reaction if £28m was the first number reported. Hope it's true.

We have a good record of buying young forwards from London clubs for 28m

I'm pretty sure the reaction to the Richarlison signing was the same as this one is. Just think about that.

pretty much

 

[Blue_Berry]

Yeah miles better than this fella.

Can't believe we've spent £35-40 million on this bloke.

Speechless - would rather have kept Richarlison and Bernard with Walcott as cover than blow all that dough on rude boi

Hardly - it's about your 10th post saying exactly the same thing .

Signing a reject from clubs above you in the table is not the way to surpass them. Pretty underwhelming signing in my opinion, in these days of 4-3-3 formations, a non-scoring winger hardly gets the pulse racing. Young enough to improve but a downgrade from Zaha in my opinion.

I think if we would have got a CB it would have made a difference, it’s obviously a concern. I like Mina, but he’s obviously injury prone (or was last year certainly)

The thought of 3 or 4 months if Mason Holgate (out of position imo) at centre half makes me extremely concerned and even question why we didn't renew jags for one more year lol

Hopefully this one isn't an utter texan in the end.

 

[Bob Latchford]

He absolutely ripped us that day

Just like Bolasie used to...

I welcome the signing. Good luck to the lad.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

87 PL apps the last 3 seasons, many of which were as a sub
9 goals and 14 assists.
So on a per 90 mins scale, probably in the vicinity of a goal or assist every other game

For Iwobi.
Last season: 0.14 goals per 90 mins
0.27 assists

Walcott
0.21 goals per 90
0.08 assists

 

[Gilbert..]

lol I saw one in the first few minutes that video and Iwobi immediately moves past the defender. Doesn't dribble in place.

Dry your pants.

This is one of those pointless forum exchanges. You have walter sobchak in your avi so you must be ok. You're excused.

And has an offence for supporting/advocating a betting company through an advertisement hanging over him.

Texan lol lol lol

Yeah it’s certainly a worry unless Gblammo drops back as a CB

 

[jonnyboy316]

I am struggling to understand this one. He plays off the left which Bernard and Richarlison favour. The upgrade we needed was on the right. We have panicked. The one positive is because of his age we will get resale

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Great signing (if we can get it over the line).

And a great transfer window. Well done all at the club.

O'Keefe:

The up-front fee is believed to be £28m rather than £35-£40m as reported earlier. Those higher numbers reflect what Everton could end up paying in performance related bonuses down the line

Just like Bolasie used to...

Never ripped us in his life that cart.
