Alex Iwobi: Big 17 No Safety

[MutableEarth]

Looks a talent, I'd like to see how he can fare elsewhere though. Realistically he's not getting into the team as an attacking midfielder, he has pace and can dribble so I'd be interested to see how he can do out wide or up front.

I think CF is a real possibility for him personally.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Keeps the ball so close to his feet, fantastic at keeping the ball and dribbling out of tight spots. So assured in possession too. Quite a refreshing thing to see that he's so composed and unnerved. Like I said even if he's never a nailed on starter for us players like him are excellent to have in the squad, I kinda see him as a long term Rosicky replacement.

Any chance he gets a roster spot on bench vs Barcelona. Seems to me hes earned it and lets face it hes much more creative than most of our healthy bench options. In terms of will he reminds me of Sanchez in the sense he just wants to make things happen.

Can't wait to see him play once hes a little more settled.

 

[Maxim]

I think he's proven himself an excellent deputy to Özil. Look how the team play around him.

 

[Mastadon]

And thanks **** that he's playing for Nigeria. If he'd been playing for England he would already been overhyped and burned out by now

You won't be saying that when he disappears halfway through the season for a month to play in the African cup of nations.

Embarrassing how he's better than some of our experienced players. Top performance every time, can't wait until he makes a proper league appearance and bags his first proper goal

Said that about the Ox too bro , guy is going to have his up's and downs at his age and people on here bagging the **** of out of him probs next season . Great prospect though .

 

[Fernando!]

i think his intelligence is not enough for that position

 

[emilursin]

impressive the way he keeps calm and retains the ball under pressure, great talent,

Hmm that video isn't as impressive as I thought he was while watching the game. He tries alot of flicks that will only frustrate fans after a while.

Really?

I love the way he plays - and the style the team adopts when he's at number 10. Reminds me of the football we played with the likes of Rosicky/Hleb and Fabregas.

Nah, that dosen't bother me that much, imo.

 

[Wilshere's Right]

Looks to be a wicked player in the making. Love this guy and always happy to see him in the team.
Calm under pressure, composed, good passing, always pushing forward and trying to get things moving.

massive potential, gr8 thinking

You're right, in your opinion it doesn't bother you that much.

And you got in here how?

J/K.

 

[lutaayam]

I doubt he's playing for Nigeria. Isn't he British?

 

[lutaayam]

Ok, so he's Nigerian

 

[Jerome_Gooner]

Great game from him again

 

[Tourbillion]

He's the heartbeat whenever he plays. Makes me think he could be an awesome CM option as well as a further up one.

My boy doing me proud. #Iwobi2017
