2019/20 Alex Iwobi

[banno]

Can we dispel this Bolasie myth now then it’s clear to see he’s almost the exact opposite. An incredibly lazy comparison.

Wait for his first bad game and it will pop up all over the place.....sadly.

It’s always a stark reminder how far behind we are when we pick up a player who can’t hold down a spot in a top 6 team like Iwobi or Delph and they instantly look better than most of our other players. Watch them both go full Walcott after a few months of Everton training.

I read some sloppy reporting when we first signed Iwobi that quoted Arsenals fans saying they were sad to see him leave the club. Now after his full debut there are more sloppy reports quoting Arsenal fans saying they're glad to see the back of him, he's rubbish and lazy.

Personally I'm happy to give him at least half a season before judging him. If he can do well he'll be a regular starter or at the very least, a frequently used sub. He may not rack up many goals but hopefully he'll boost our attacking threat and get some assists.

Any of the "he's the new Bolasie" folks want to put their hand up yet?

Strange that isn't it. I will go with the former. He has caused a spark in the past couple of games.

I only found out today that this lad is the nephew of Jay Jay Okacha

That’s kind of the point though. They all succumb to the Everton mentality. At some point you have to say something is wrong with the club. Digne is the only player that has seen significant time and doesn’t seem to be infected with the curse yet.

He done more than enough last night to earn a starting spot on Sunday. Bernard & Gylfi now have a serious threat to their spot.

Player of the season this lad.

Early shout, risky! However, he does look like the complete bundle of football.

 

[Brisan123]

Saw his interview at the end of the game, seems a decent lad and appears happy to be here.

He said in a previous interview that if he stayed at Arsenal he would always be seen as a young player but by coming here he could establish himself as a senior player

I’m waiting for the coward shouts.

Knowing Silva himself and Kean will be back on the bench on sunday and we will have DCL to look forward too.
At least Iwobi's replacement (Bernard ) is a baller

Tbh I don't mind Silva bringing them in slowly. Especially Kean. He's only 19 and we're already putting so much pressure on him.

This guy is mustard. I don’t want him given a position. I want him popping up everywhere. Saw a definite uplift in quality with him last night.
