2023/24 Alex Iwobi

You’re all missing the bigger picture here.

Big Oil will go and haunt the Fulham forums.

Reunited with Marco in mutual love for Iwobi. Gosh.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

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

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

100% this

He does bring undoubted energy to the team and it will be missed however, running around a lot is not nearly enough

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 cant help but feel that they were "chances" in name only. IE a pass to a player in a forward position within shooting range BUT the pass was slightly behind/in front/to the side/too high for the chance to be of use.

Numbers wise we dont need one this season.

If we could make a few sales and sneak in a CM, ACM or RW to develop for next season then it would be the smart move.

We absolutely do, for all his faults Iwobi is the only one who appears to want to paly forward.

Harrison, Mcneill, Danjuma, (Dobbin? - potentially go on loan if we get someone?), Iwobi.

We've had James Garner playing on the wing. One injury to those three and he's first reserve for the wing.

Interest in Cannon from Southampton, could pave the way to do business for Sulemana.

Don’t know where I read it, but the best analogy of him is, He runs about like a waiter with a hot plate in each hand and nowhere to put them down.

He’s definitely one of the more confounding players I can recall playing for Everton over the years. It’s like he makes the hard stuff look easy but then makes the easy stuff look hard.

Was absolutely horrific in his first two seasons then became average and the transformation made some thing he'd become Zidane.

£15m for him is very good business, there was a time when I thought we'd struggle to give him away for free.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Will always remember that pass he made against Leicester which very well could have relegated us. Under no pressure. Much better options available. And he chose the pass he did.

The idea this fella is not replaceable is ridiculous. We have fans who set such low bars.

 

[Drico]

I'll miss his moody black and white Instagram "emoting".

It‘s only very good business when he has gone, he’s still here, get a move on Fulham or anyone who wants him.

If you're not a good footballer, work hard. He was that - in a team full of players who possess neither.

I think it's a mistake to sell, personally.

Edit...and should have played centrally far more.

We need more than someone who runs around a lot.
We need footballers as well as athletes and in my opinion he is a limited footballer.
Last season he played just about every game as a forward or offensive midfielder and how many goals did he score ?

But, apart from that argument he is out of contract in 10 months time, is clearly not signing a new deal and we cannot walk away from 20m.

Evidently hes going to Fulham terms have been agreed -ENN rumour breaking news from Sky -

I think you missed the part where i said we have the numbers but an ACM and RW would be good to develop ready for next season (when we only have 2 LW under contract and no ACM/RW).

That would mean them being 2nd choice ACM or RW this season and ready to be first choice next season. Gradually rotating with the loan players so less pressure.

I like Sulemana and posted at the time when he went to Southampton that he needs developing but great potential.

However, Bakayoko and Gnonto are levels above now and have even higher potential imo.

If Iwobi and Gray + Cannon go id probably throw in a bid for both of them and see if either club/player bite. If not a loan with option for Sulemana -- and again, if not then a young player from overseas.
