Run around a lot but don't actually make many meaningful challenges.

It's far preferable to someone that doesn't run around a lot obviously, but still.

Dump of a player. Sell please.
The thing is, his energy was incredible. He made up in effort what he lacked in ability (genuinely like my own football history). Under Dyche they all seemed to really put a shift in, especially compared to life under Lampard.
 

Now into the final 12 months of his contract I believe

If an extension is not close to being agreed then we should be actively trying to sell. Players with value cannot leave for free.
Shouldn't even be offering him a new contract anyway, hes has about 10 good games 5 years.

Would be actively trying to sell him and get his high wages off the books
 
Where are all these Champions League teams that were going to be after the “most creative player outside the top 6”?
Easy to be the "most creative player outside the top 6" when you're the only creative wheel. Stats matter, but one does have to know how to interpret them. Otherwise, one can easily end up overpaying for the dross (other than Suarez) the RS bought in Comolli's first year at the helm of transfers.

It's somewhat like how a high points per game stat is always suspicious in an NBA player on a team bereft of anyone else that can shoot. If they're dropping thirty a game playing for a team with other quality shooters, odds are their attempts per point scored are much lower, and they can shoot.
 

He was 'close' to a new deal before Christmas. Clearly he feels he's worth more than we're offering.

He claims his favoured position is a 10, well....... He's played there and hasn't produced much. To be fair when played there he hasn't had much infront of him but his actual output is low. Daccoure isn't a 10 but his output when played there was as good as anyone in that position in the league.

Iwobi works hard, never grumbles and is clearly well liked in the squad. In our financial oosition if he's not committed by the time we head off to Switzerland you'd be tempted to actively sell.

His book value is only about 6 million pound so anything over than is seen as profit. Surely there would be a queue at that price?
 
Good player.

Funny this. Genuinely looks like he’s some random fan telling Salah that he actually plays football too. He probably thinks he’s some reserve for Accrington Stanley or something.
