Alex Iwobi

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

The indecisiveness is down to age and experience, he'll iron it out of his game.

If Wenger stays on he will regress which is a depressing thought.
Was thinking the exact same thing mate.

WENKER OUT.

I'm sure you'll be able to iron those out :wink: :lol:
Don't you have a dodgy drain to clean or something. :wink: :lol:
Thinking you 2 should get a room. :wink:

The only thing Feo has going for him, is he is a nice lad and wont rock the boat - which is what Wenger likes.

I like Iwobi, and he should, along with Campbell, play ahead of both Chamberlain and Walcott.

Walcott for me is bottom of the pile. In terms of the wide player hierarchy, it goes Sanchez, Welbeck, Campbell, Iwobi, Chamberlain, Walcott.

He scored a good goal and I hope he can press on from here and become and Arsenal legend, however, he gave the ball away a lot and wafted around.

Not really, Walcotts been shite for years, and he gets stick because of his wanky media soundbites. Oh and he's been robbing this club blind just like wenger. Oh and he's a smug *word censored* :wink:

As stated previously, he has attributes that neither of those chumps have and can't be taught. This is why there is more optimism surrounding him even at 19.

Hang on fellas...this guy has more in his locker than Theo,jack and Ox combined.

And he has size unlike our midget clones.

Think of what Gaurdiola,Klopp or Bilic develop him into...

Time will tell, but bloody hell when Jack broke through he looked a top class prospect. Sadly injuries have halted that completely.

I also think Ox looked very good when he arrived. Oddly he's not improved at all :?

As for Theo. He's the same player who arrived almost 10 years ago. He hasn't improved technically and games still pass him by. He's a hell of a lot richer though! :roll:

Pleased for Iwobi. He's been at the Arsenal since he was 8 years old apparently so always good to see a youngster come through.

I hope Iwobi enjoys his time in the team because regardless of how he plays he'll be replaced by Wenger's lovechild and favourite right winger Aaron Ramsey the minute he becomes available

Spot on. What happens when Cazorla and Ramsey come back. Naturally Cazorla goes into the middle next to Coquelin. Then wait for Wenger to do it, wait for him to start playing Ramsey on the right leaving Iwobi on the bench, and preffering Theo of the bench to make it worse.

Poeple talk about lakc of resources (bullshit), but Wenger can hardly make the most of what he has.

He could have been better than any of the prem mid-fielders but sadly injuries have blighted his career....Even Diaby (when he first started playing was likened to a new PV4) - Not true of course - But he was very good - and showed real potential to be great, but as we all know injuries did for him - yes he is a millionaire - but offered the chance to be injury free and have no wonga I'm sure he would choose the 'no injuries' - same a jack wilshere - I'm sure he would give up all the wonga in the blink of an eye - to be injury free.

I too have high hopes for Iwobi - I just hope wenger is gone before he ruins him too.
