2023/24 Alex Iwobi

[MikeH72]

And that assertion is based on him playing almost 150 games in 4 seasons at Arsenal?
Arsenal spent over £70 million on his replacement Pepe and he lasted less time than Iwobi!
Wenger didn’t suffer fools gladly. He rated Iwobi and continually played him. I could take into account his opinion or yours...tough call...
I'm not claiming he's Zidane but he isn't anywhere near as bad as some make out on here.

Wenger also played Manuel Almunia loads, but ok.

Arsenal fans were laughing their heads off at us when we signed him, and they’ve been proven right because he’s been crap and the only club interested in him is Fulham.

 

[coollino]

Never known a player to divide opinion so much.

I think he is our only nerd based player, so that's probably why

I do think he has probably been treated unfairly over time but the 'actually have you thought about his left eye wink when kicking with his right foot stats' has ruined him for normal fans

 

[MACCA75]

People criticising Iwobi for lacking creativity or decision-making...I guess they haven't seen Doucoure play?

Had a great assist last night and scored 5 in half a season last year. He’s clumsy but does affect games.

Never known a player to divide opinion so much.

Especially one that we all unanimously agreed was terrible for about 3 years.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Iwobi’s gone my lord, kumbaya

 

[aglee]

Never known a player to divide opinion so much.

Think that's partially down to the amazing things he allegedly does in training but doesn't seem to be able to translate into real games. Shame. He does seem to have some attributes to be a very good player but we just haven't seen them anywhere near enough

You're absolutely right here. We haven't been able to take a player off Arsenal that they actually wanted to keep since err, some time before they took Keown off us.

He’s never found a position. He’s not productive enough to be a 10. He’s not a typical winger but does well with what Dyche asks of him. He probably is best centrally a bit further back.

He’s a skilled player who has never quite figured out how to best affect games. He does a job out wide but is replaceable.

 

[Gilbert..]

At least he got to watch the CL draw today on tv.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Is this some kind of trick question?

I would release him on a free.

He ruins my enjoyment of watching Everton.

You get enjoyment of watching Everton!?

Thought it was given we are all Sadomasochists.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Not even a here we go from Fab yet, or at least according to my sources from big Al. Disappointing.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Iwobi reminds me of a manager I used to have in the Sunday league,any oppositition player with a modicum of skill about them was instantly a “fanny merchant”

 

[jackyboy]

Is this what it's come to?

Fella scores about two goals a season and nobody seems to know where his best position is. Get rid

Just don't see the football intellect a player like Iwobi needs. Squad filler all ways will be.
