If he's not this bad, then what is he?

I kind of know what he’s getting at. He did occasionally look like a professional footballer when he was at Arsenal, I remember several times playing them and he was a threat. End product has never been any good, but honestly I’ve been shocked at how bad every other part of his game is now.

Iwobi linked with Atalanta, please be true

Definitely a typo, should read “linked with the Asda”

The only position I can actually see Iwobi being of any use on a consistent basis (apart from maybe RB but too small a sample size) is as a support striker in a 442. I think his combination of size and skill on the dribble could theoretically work there. If we keep giving him chances on the wing, we will pay dearly for it.

I hope to the lord that Atalanta are in for him. Time to cut our losses here

Any other manager I'd wholeheartedly agree with you Blue., but this is such a toxic appointment he doesn't stand a chance,. Fanbase was ruptured with this appointment. He'll not be given long and neither should he. Its not even because he managed them which for me would be enough. Hes not good anymore we're not getting the Valencia Benitez who was outstanding or even the lfc one. We're getting the Newcastle /Chinese Dalmatian one. Moshiris costing himself money - he needs to go make money get stadium built, let the DoF pick the coach and the players before we can progress If Dof is left alone to do his job and proved to be poor bin him too.

Unfortunately from Moshiri’s standpoint it seems his interest in the club is based mainly on his ability to directly meddle in footballing decisions.

Brands didn't get a say in it. Moshiri told him to buy iwobi because he knew him from arsenal. Brands just said "yes boss" and did as he was told.

That's not a good enough excuse....who else was Brands pushing for us to sign with his 'eye for talent'?, that was a deadline day punt after 3 months of failing to find a player ...who settled for Josh King and Bernard?, who hasn't been able to identify a right back for 3 years now, and settled for sidibe, and then nobody?....who can't identify a good young goalkeeper and keeps settling for has-beens and never-weres?....
 
Someone may pay us actual money for Iwobi? Dear lord please be true. It can count as all of my Birthday and Christmas presents for the next few years, honest. I won't ask for anything else if you can just make that one thing happen. I am literally on my knees offering prayer oh lord. You (sobs) don't (sobs again) know what this would mean to me.......

I'd take a Gary or a Steven Naismith over Iwobi every single day because, even being objective, he offers little to nothing either offensively or defensively.

Is he going to track back, get stuck in and win you balls? No chance. He's not pacey with his leg movements being Flinstonesque and frustrating on the ball.

While I'm not overly happy with their signings, I would choose to have Gray or Townsend starting over Iwobi each and every time.
