2023/24 Alex Iwobi

[Miked1e]

Agree with majority on here.... If we can get 15m for him then that is amazing!

 

[Piijt]

I’ll miss his pace, energy and flowing locks.

I won’t miss his end product, terrible passer of the ball.

 

[Zatara]

He can finally deliver those hot plates he's been trying to carry all these years.

Iwobye.

 

[catcherintherye]

But he’s not better at playing through the lines than MacAllister and Eze at all?

I am Iwobi fan, but hes not at their level, particularly MacAllister.

When we were good, I sort of thought he could be a luxury player for a championship team. That's sort of what we have become a bit, and he stands out, because we have lost a lot of quality.

He is probably a little better than that, as he works very hard and covers ground. But its mainly we have got worse.

If we can get 30m for him and Gray, it's good business.

Good business is under selling it a bit. £30m for those two would be the best bit of outgoing transfer business this football club has ever done. I mean that as well, no exaggeration at all.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He’s running down his contract, 12 months left

£15m is amazing value for him.

If I’m not mistaken it also shows profit for on the books which helps getting others in

Correct, we would recognise a profit on his sale this year, probably something close to 10m. And he is also a high earner.

I'm very much in favour of selling him now to avoid a free transfer, but we need to reinvest the funds or its a waste of time.

 

[coleman=quality]

Hope this transfer happens what a deal if it does to even get any money back for him is good.

 

[bullybeef]

What a little snake!

Anyway, get £15-20m for him and it suits all parties.

I hope the club spend the money though.

 

[micknick]

Proper whos who of top class midfielders in that list.

Pascall Gross and Solly March.

Lol March has been brilliant

Why didn’t Liverpool go for Iwobi over Mac Allister for half the price seeing as he’s clearly better than him according to that table?

 

[Paul Rideout]

Bizarre fans getting excited about selling him if we dont get anyone in to replace him. Open play chances- 57 while creating chances for Maupay.

Imagine having an actual striker to convert some of these chances.

Sometimes careful what you wish for.

I wish for 3 players not on that list:

KDB
Bernardo Silva
Diaz

 

[everton fan number one]

Has had good spells, but brings panic and incoherence to attacking play I won't miss.

 

[blueblue]

I said that during the game, he was the exact sort of player we needed last night.
Never thought I’d ever type that.

We missed his industry undoubtedly but unfortunately he just doesn't add nearly enough creativity to that industry.

He could do well at a club who have already got creative players in the team.

Iwobi is rated far higher outside of the club than he is by Evertonians.
Fulham fans will consider it cheap at around 20m whereas it is good business for us.

You have heard of Brighton haven't you Goat?

Didn’t elaborate in my post but I meant generally £15m for him is poor value in today’s market.

He’s worth that much because he’s only got a year left on his deal, not because he’s worth that much generally.

On a longer contract I’d expect us to get minimum £10m more for him - my point was that our management of his contract has cost us a lot.

As you say though, if we sell him it’s profit on the books and we can hopefully reinvest elsewhere.

If we sold Iwobi and bought Gnonto, I’d be delighted. If we sold him and bought Cornet, I’d be gutted.
