2022/23 Alex Iwobi

[GoldenToffee]

Dog poo as he has been for 4 years now. Sooner he leaves the better, but we all know it'll be on a free transfer end of the season.

 

[maccavennie]

He might as well have not been on the pitch 2nd half. Dobbin really should have been given more minutes yesterday.

 

[ically]

He’s another completely inoffensive player, nowhere near enough end product.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Oi, Dyche! What ever you do DONT give Iwobi a new contract.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Very good, who would you replace him with. And by the way no one was knocking on the door to get Peter Reid if I remember correctly, but I’m sure you will know better…l

Yes you are correct, nobody was knocking on the door for Peter Reid when Everton signed him, the simple reason was Peter was coming back from a very bad injury, before the injury Wolves had offered £600,000 for him we got him for a tenth of that, money well spent even though it was a risky chance that turned out well, Andy Gray was another risky transfer that benefited the Blues.

True both risky signings that came good,but that was decades ago, doesn't happen too often. Now we just turn fit players into crocks.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Not even a suggestion of anyone in for him as he enters the final year of his contract (with our offer laying on the table)
Sickening that yet another overly expensive and comparative flop looks like leaving for free at the end of the season.
Red echo story from July saying he wants to play in the champions league……
How about a few champions league level performances and a mere 6 or 7 goals in a season for a change if you’re so keen?

 

[TheFinnFan]

Id say Iwobi is one of the biggest problems in the squad.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Id say Iwobi is one of the biggest problems in the squad.

Despite apparently being one of fittest he seems to slow out attacks down far too much. Have hi m out on the wing can do a job. Can't have him in the middle his favoured position he just does not have that footballing brain at this level to be consistent, the premier league is just to fast for him the majority of the time.

 

[Mrbluenose]

30M player leaving for a free in 11 months, good times.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Against Lisbon, Onana showed flashes of having the distributive capacity to give Iwobi a sharp shove out of the first XI. The weighting on Onana's passing was much improved, and he was far more of a threat at the edge of the box.

If we can get some creativity along the flanks, between injured wingers healing up and players in, I suspect Iwobi becomes surplus to requirements. Which is as it needs to be, given the contract situation.

 

[davids]

Id say Iwobi is one of the biggest problems in the squad.

If yesterday is anything to go by he's already starting to down tools. As limited as he is he's always put in a shift. Yesterday he looked disinterested.

 

[Kirkles]

He's definitely a very frustrating player but he's probably the only semi creative player we have .

 

[MikeH72]

He's definitely a very frustrating player but he's probably the only semi creative player we have .

I think we probably are where we are because we’re trying to force Iwobi to be a creative player.

 

[JamesEFC]

4 years of overall dross, Even during his “good” spell he wasn’t doing anything extraordinary.

He was doing OK, that’s it, just shows how poor our standards as a club and those around him are they it’s considered acceptable when that should be the bare minimum expected from a player with his fee.
