Confirmed Signing Alex Iwobi

[kempo]

Iwobi is NOT plan B to Zaha. Totally different players.

I think he’ll prove to be a good signing. 23, quick, tricky, holds & carries the ball really well.

Good signing

Has he signed ????

He said he wanted 5 players and we got 4: Gbamin, Kean, Sidibe and Iwobi. Just CB. Only one we missed out.

Marco said he wanted an extra CM and CB so possibly two missing out. The extra CM is not essential but the CB is.

If Iwobi is brilliant and I'm wrong, nobody will be happier than me.

I just happen to think there's next to no chance I'm wrong on this one.

Watch Arsenal a lot do you?

CM only if Morgan Schneiderlin leave the club, and that is not going to happen

I think he’s absolute dog excrement, but I’ll trust Silva and Brands here and pray I’m wrong.

I mean I think this is just a mad thing to say..

Obviously we all have different opinions and that, and I myself am not especially super excited over him.. but he's not a bad player.

23 years old, loads of appearances for Arsenal, skillful and creative, pretty solid stats and still plenty of room for him to develop his game. If the fee turns out to be under the 30-odd million initially reported then I honestly think that's very good business.

Feel people are just overreacting and we probably wouldn't be seeing it if it wasn't for the Zaha stuff.

I’m not sure iwobi is that good but I’m sure he’s better than walcott so willing to give him a chance

Yeah mate, Premier League football is quite readily available. It's not as if this is a no mark from the Uzbek leagues is it?

Just ashamed Zouma decides to stay at his current club.

Haven't seen you for a while mate? Welcome back if you've been gone.

If not, post more!

What a crock of horse manure.

Get ya mar to wash those sheets.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

...and as many as Gylfi, Bernard & Richarlison combined apparently.

Good signing

Thank you! Just how I feel too. I posted stuff on twitter about this, its really riled me up. If he signs, I SO want him to succeed here now, more thank any other signing we have made this summer (apart from Gomes of course )

Saha never pulled trees up at his age infact flopped at United..,.

Ffs Joey - the correct spelling of his name is literally in the post you’re replying to and you’ve still managed to get it wrong

 

[nsno-chris]

Lets see.
80+ mil plus 2 players circa 25 mil....that puts Zaha in Ronaldo's class.

Thats a World Class fee we have walked away from.

World Class player?
...absolutely no chance

Then tied to a massive 200k pw contract....yep bullet dodged .

Total cost would have been between £125-£150m over the length of his contract, including transfer fee

Haha haha for someone who scored 44 goals in his career. If people can’t see this is a massive dodges bullet then they’ve been blinded by those Soccer AM clips of the skillz

Imagine what you could buy for £150m

You claimed he was like bolasie earlier and that's even more daft than the people who were claiming Zaha was like Bolasie.

He might not turn out to be great but the comparison is frankly ludicrous. Bolasie was playing non league and league 2 when Iwobi was playing regularly at a massive club like Arsenal.

I've never been that impressed and thought he was just OK, with no standout features. But he created a heck of a lot of chances last year in a heck of a lot less minutes than our most creative players. So I'm gonna give him a chance to change my mind.
