2019/20 Alex Iwobi

[PKwalnuts]

Yeah, more players like Iwobi and less of the fans who put their hard earned money in to support the club.

Let’s hope we get fans like you less interested.

People on here look back fondly on teams gone by during the days it would rain hard cushions down from the Main Stand if the performance wasn’t what we expected. Now people like you wouldn’t dare to criticise a player.

Bore off with the hard earned money rubbish
It's a choice, don't like it don't pay.

Yeah let's start throwing stuff at players we don't like. Good Times them.
Nonesense.

So because we don’t like some players we shouldn’t go to the match?

You think Evertonians who have been going to the match for years are going to stop because of players like Iwobi who don’t give a toss about the club? We’ll be here long after these players have up and left.

I didn’t say throw things at players.

We really do need less fans like you. Bet you backed Kenwright.

 

[Gilbert..]

Finished 12th with Iwobi offering nothing and most others having no desire to pass to our own team or tackle apparently.

I saw that the quality players we had tried and did their best, but we need better quality players all over the park.

Things can only get better.

Well we live in hope. Even ancelotti looks exhausted with them. When a manager who has done it all comes out and says there is something wrong with the attitude you know it goes deep.
Awful recruitment is hitting home. We have no leaders in the team. Cant think of one good team in history that didnt have a few leaders on the pitch who even when playing poor at least became a bit of a nark because they didnt like losing. We are soft as butter. Im just hoping thatin the next 24 months we can ship most of them out and at least bring in players who have more hunger.
Been a long time since i have disliked an Everton squad as much as this one. Which isnt a nice feeling.

I was stood next to the clown.
Knew I'd met you before.

Totally agree

Yeah I look at the year we signed the england captain, the welsh captain and the Ajax captain. Those were the day

 

[ForeverBlue92]

I would say swap deal for either of the following:

Mcneil
Under
Zaha
Sarr (maybe agree to pay bulk of Iwobi's wages for 2 seasons unless Watford come straight back up as a sweetener).

 

[BlueToff]

He's not going anywhere

There's also definitely a player in there. Didn't show it nearly enough, no, and he's awfully frustrating to watch at times.

But other players need shipping out first.

 

[windymiller]

I feel like I missed something. Alex Iwobi of this season doesn't warrant about 20 pages in a single day...

This thread isn't really about Alex Iwobi any more!

 

[BlueStevie35]

Has there really been dozens of pages of arguments over a bloody social media post? Jesus wept lads

There is a lot of anger amongst the supporters recently and surely you can understand it, on the back of a disgraceful season where our expensively-assembled squad has hugely underperformed and our neighbours have absolutely waltzed home to the title. People are having a hard time of things having been confined to their homes for months then get this thrown in their face after paying good money to watch players such as Iwobi not even get a sweat on all season then flaunt his wealth in such a crass way. I'm sure there would have been a similar reaction if it was Davies on one of his shopping trips to buy some dresses in New York, or if Pickford was pictured in some editorial-style shoot at the local Lambourgini dealership. Had Iwobi have actually tried this season, even if he failed, the reaction wouldn't have been as bad, but he barely moves on the field, looks extremely overweight and has been hauled off at half time by the manager due to his lack of effort.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I’m more ‘subconsciously’ disappointed that he wasn’t sold to AC Milan personally

 

[Gilbert..]

I remember one of the first things i read when we were linked with klassen was someone in the dutch media writing Everton are linked with klassen for 25m. Then stated he thought it was about 10m to much and he doubted he would make any impact in the prem.
Williams wasnt a bad leader at a club like swansea tbh.
Not exactly the recruitment im talking about.

It’s a post, nothing more than that. I struggled for 3 months on furlough, I’m only on min wage as is but I took no offence to him posting it as others didn’t because at the end of the day he’s just a lad spending his wages like any other person would

It’s why I never understand the crying about Davies and his fashion sense or DCL going on his jollies, they’re just being young lads

 

[TheBigIguana]

You're a weird little creature.

Riding in on multiple threads on your high horse making sweeping accusations of racism, failing to provide any example of actual racism in the thread and then hide behind the oh-so-easy unconscious bias line when challenged.



Most people don't like Iwobi because he's a very poor player.

Unfortunately, through no fault of his own, the club paid a lot of money for him and pay him a silly wage.

The vast majority of people who support the club are local, an area that's one of the most deprived in the country and has been hit harder than most with the current situation.

People have died, many jobs have been lost, many more are under threat and even relatively minor things like travel plans have been ruined.

To then see somebody who has significantly under performed on the pitch posting show-off style images of himself getting out of a car that costs more than several houses in the local area and climbing into a private jet to go and live it up for a couple of weeks... That doesn't sit right at all and, to me, shows absolutely no awareness of the things people have had to deal with.

That kind of behaviour has never sat well with most Evertonians and I don't believe it ever will.

Yes he's "earned" his money, yes he can spend it how he wants but let's not be so vulgar at a time of misery for many, especially when your performances have been at about a 2/10, you've had no impact on any game and actively bottle out of challenges.

I didn't bother to read that because this isn't a high horse thing. I'm sure I'm guilty of it too at times and welcome anyone calling me out.
