Brendan Janus
Player Valuation: £40m
He,s Doing ok !!
The thing with Iwobi is, he actually tries to make things happen. Too many of our midfielders don’t take any responsibility on the ball. He could have been steadier by just playing the easy ball but he does seem to try and force things. He just needs to improve that cross/final baller
You know I don’t really get why people bang on about us spending mega bucks on him (not directing this at you - I mean in general).Coming into his own, after a shaky start. Beginning to see why we spent the big bucks to get him.

he was £28m plus add ons. That’s pretty average nowadays.

All in and around that fee in recent years.
He's on a decent run but are we blinded by the wins? for me he still falls short of what we need in terms of creativity and end product, and If I am looking to replace a position in the future his is probably first on the list. Having said all that he has improved and is putting in graft so fair play to him.
My view is that iwobi is a 28m player. That’s more or less par. Some clubs can spend that and end up with an amazing player (liverpool) but iwobi is the average.Yep just a quick comparison with similar players at the top 6.
Pepe 70 mill
Mahrez/ Sterling 50 mill
Salah 40 mill
Werner 40 mill
The list could go on as well. Pulisic Ziyech Martial Bernardo Silva Jota all expensive. The top 6 are throwing big money at attacking players now. In comparison 28 mill really isnt that much.

it’s the only £5m (2000s) and 10m (2010s).
Hopefully end product and that is stuff he will improve on as time goes on but a few good games won't change how much he stunk the place out for the whole of last season. let's just hope he keeps his form up, my only concern would be when the whole team is fit (a big if with us) does he still get in it?Probably yes but also he has two assists in the last two games (although not sure if the Holding o.g. will officially count as one). That’s end product regardless of whether he frustrates more often that not when he gets to the bye line.

I reckon it’s keeping him fit for this week. He’ll play on wed and then get rested I reckon.He had a good game made the first goal unlucky to be subbed imo......

Could be worse.........we could have paid £40m for Joelinton or £45m for Haller!Yep just a quick comparison with similar players at the top 6.
