Sensible for us to get a fee for him due to contract but as Dunc says he has featured a lot as MOTM albeit with little competition.

Bailey Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 The thing with Iwobi is that whilst he was one of our most creative players,his poor play also leads to some sloppy goals against. Its a bit two steps forward, one step back with him. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Given his contract situation, and the clubs financial situation then they have to take the deal thats on the table. The disappointing thing will be not seeing another player coming in to make up the numbers. it may give us wiggle room in January's market. I think its going to be fingers crossed on the injury front for the next 4-5months. Matt, Romey 1878 and dunlopp9987 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StevO Posted September 1, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Reminder, Iwobi only became our most creative player after we lost Richarlison, Digne, Siggurdsson and James. (Bernard, Walcott, Gomes and Baines can go into that list too) Did he improve or did the standard around him drop? If we can get him out of the door for £20m+ we are doing well. If we can find a replacement then even better! Bailey, Wiggytop, Fosse Captain and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidharper Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Do not understand the Iwobi hate. He is a starter for us. It is like everyone in this thread has totally forgotten how shit the rest of our squad is. Wake up. The last two season have been so hard to watch. If he does go it does not look like we are going to replace him. That will be a blow, no question, but still think it will be the right thing to do though. If he won't sign that contract then we have to move him on. Can't keep losing people on a free. We just have to hope what we have brought in will be good enough. If Harrison or Danjuma can excel on the right then losing Iwobi might not be that big of a deal. Matt, London Blue and Gwlad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNeil out performed him last season. He got into our team under Lampard because we had few other options and he improved, no doubt, but he’s not exactly been winning games for us. He’s not been very good out wide, we don’t play a style that suits him being in the middle. Not to mention that he gives the ball away too often in the middle. He’s been ok, nothing more than ok, for two years (but ok stood out because all of our creatives players have left) but before that he was absolutely shite. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. MikeO, Romey 1878, Shukes and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Look, we all have opinions and that’s great. But if he goes results will speak for themselves one way or the other. I don't have any hate for him at all and wish him the best if he moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 But for perspective I just typed… top chances created 2022-2023. Trippier is second with 110 But on the Twitter one he’s bottom of the other 14. All depends on which stat site you look at doesn’t it.

That's skewed by the fact that he started last season like a train and very quickly amassed more than 108 votes virtually before anyone else got off the mark. Over the twenty-four games after his purple patch he added only another twelve. Previous season he came in behind Gray, Gordon and Pickford. chicagoblue, Matt and Shukes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve also just brought in Danjuma and Harrison, if they can’t do more than Iwobi we’ve got big enough problems. If Iwobi was good enough maybe we wouldn’t have been so close to the drop A guy who in those last two years you speak of scored four league goals in 66 appearances. Hardly set the world alight. Danjuma scored 13 league goals in 42 appearances in those two years. McNeil scored seven league goals in 74. Harrison scored 13 league goals in 71. Should Iwobi start above any of them anyway?

barryj Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 I struggle to have much affinity with any of our current players and Iwobi is no exception. I struggle to see why some see him as the second coming of Christ. Hes at best an average player in a terrible team. He did better under Lamps but for 2 years prior to that he was terrible. I’ll wish him well but I’m happy he’s off for the fee reported. I’m a little worried not heard much about this deal for a few hours now.

Harv Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 I think we probably paid twice what he was worth. Cant think of anybody giving the ball to the opposition on such a regular basis. Are we certain he has gone yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Alex Iwobi gave his all. He may have scored few goals, but one of them kept us up. His teammates rated him highly. Yes, he could be frustrating, but he also produced some magical moments. I wish him all the very best at Fulham. duncanmckenzieismagic and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
