Alex Iwobi (Out)

[Highgate]

Naah we don't need zaha, we have a bunch of young wingers coming through, they need the space, some of them have higher cealing than zaha

we really needed another quality cb, that's our only obvious need for improvement, hopefully we go back for upamecano in January

100 PL games 11 goals 19 assists. i don't know how we are getting 40M for him seriously.

Ox had 132 games, 9+18 in EPL. He was constantly injured unlike Iwobi and had 1 year in contract. Sold for 38 million euros.

Shocking stats for an attacking player. Raul has done a deadline day madness getting £40M for Iwobi. If he can get Mustafi sold in the next 3 weeks we might have a decent transfer kitty for January.

 

[Beksl]

Sad to see him go but you don’t refuse 50m for him. Wish him the best of luck.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Wow. Really didn't see this coming, though it does make some sense.

 

[say yes]

Got to say, now that the hysteria of receiving £40m for a fringe player has died down, that I hope this move works out well for Alex.

Think Everton have massively overpaid here, but I’d be happy if Iwobi proves me wrong and turns out to be a great signing for them.

Whatever happens there, he’s done himself and the academy here proud. He’s got a good football brain and got further than anyone expected. Best of luck buddy.

Inter-EPL transfer and homegrown player. Prices are insane for those.

 

[Vinci]

He had plenty of chances under Wenger and now Emery, but still no end product. Can't be really taught I think, you have it or you don't and Nelson and Saka look much more assured in that department.

 

[Sammy1887]

Best news of this window. Thankyou Iwobi for funding Tierney + Luiz, your best assist for this club.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Everton were after Zaha right? They must really have wanted a winger and were willing to pay in the hopes Alex can still push on (which he could do).

 

[LG10]

Terrible business with no replacement signed. Pepe was the perfect player for him to work with.

 

[Arsenio Venger]

Terrible business with no replacement signed. Pepe was the perfect player for him to work with.

Nelson, Saka, Martin Nelly are more than enough for replacement

 

[field442]

Happy at the minute. Need to wait and see if Emery gives those minutes to Reiss now. The pecking order should’ve been Iwobi > Nelson > Mkhitaryan. I don’t want to see Mkhitaryan on the left if Auba is up front or injured.

 

[2Smokeyy]

I’m actually excited about Martinelli. He’s looked excellent every time he’s been given a chance.

Hopefully he’s this years Guendouzi with the amount of game time Emery gives him.

 

[Tourbillion]

Never saw this coming but I'm happy, and especially with the fee.

Hope he does well there. He might really blossom.

Glad we are putting faith in Nelson, Saka and Martinelli. Unless it's gonna be ****ing Mkhitaryan?

Iwobi would have just taken his minutes. Looking forward to seeing Martinelli.

40 mil is great business

 

[field442]

If Ceballos does well this season I’d be in his ear from January trying to get him to sign permanently and give this money to Real to get the deal done.

The delusion among Iwobitards can be worrying at times

And in 1-2 years time people will jump on their back as well hoping they are sold. Every youth product gets hyped by arsenal fans until they consistently get first team action. Then they go on to the next new shiny big thing who is a sensational talent yet will never make it or will get booed for trying.

But it will be different with Nelson, right..

But Nelson will probably make it, right..

If you don't even know how to shoot when you're 23 years old then you should be booed for trying
