Alex Iwobi

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

The nephew of Jay-Jay Okocha.

Looks a fantastic player, already looks miles ahead of the hype that is Oxlade-Chamberlain as an attacker for Arsenal.

Just got an assist to continue his good run of form.

 

[Feed Me]

He's a young player, which means he'll inevitably have a dip, at which point he'll be written off.

Good start, mind.

 

[ADJUDICATOR]

Looks a good squad player in the making.

 

[BobbyManc]

He's really impressed me when I've seen him. Definitely has a bright future ahead of him, good to see him starting games, I wish we put similar faith in Iheanacho.

 

[KM]

England will regret not capping him IMO. Looks a very complete player. Also a beast physically.

With him and Iwobi, Nigeria have got two excellent prospects.

Musa as well. Quite a forward line...

 

[TwoSheds]

I just don't see much in him. Very productive so must have something going for him I guess.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Better than Welbeck now

 

[Sammyjunn]

Very productive, but dont see too much special about him yet. But I said the same of Muller and he is now one of the best forwards in the world soo..

 

[TwoSheds]

He's quite an intelligent player I think. Maybe he's like a beefy Lingard actually - doubt I would rate Jesse much if he played for someone else.

Everyone has to be wrong sometimes.

Bumping this because I think he's been very good this season. Great mature play, always making the right decisions in the final third of the pitch and brings the best out of his teammates. Now one of the first names on the team sheet for Arsenal and rightly so.

I think you've done enough bumping of this thread for one night!

Ok, we get it.

It's funny you say that, because I think he's been very good this season. Great mature play, always making the right decisions in the final third of the pitch and brings the best out of his teammates. Now one of the first names on the team sheet for Arsenal and rightly so.

So good you said it twice. Very apt for Jay Jay Okocha's nephew!

Surprised nobody has bothered bumping this tonight. I think he's been very good this season. Great mature play, always making the right decisions in the final third of the pitch and brings the best out of his teammates. Now one of the first names on the team sheet for Arsenal and rightly so.

Sorry mate but I'm going to have to stop you there. I completely disagree because I think he's been very good this season. Great mature play, always making the right decisions in the final third of the pitch and brings the best out of his teammates. Now one of the first names on the team sheet for Arsenal and rightly so.

Sorry guys, I was posting for the first time from my phone in terrible signal and kept clicking post reply hoping it would go through

 

[VorZakone]

Wasn't he that Arsenal youngster who was shut down last season by Fosu-Mensah?

Yeah, and Anderson nutmegged Fabregas this one time.

In the game at Old Trafford? He played 7 minutes.. Well done for making this thread about a United youngster though.

Like clockwork.

[ADJUDICATOR]

Africa's been lacking in intelligent attacking midfielders recently, so it's nice to see him doing well.

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Didn't watch the game tonight, but he's a fantastic player for me. His movement and ability to know what's around him at all times is superb.

Um... Mahrez?

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Probably would be massively hyped if he chose to play for England

 

[ADJUDICATOR]

Mahrez is a very good player.

 

[cesc's_mullet]

He's really composed on the ball and seems to be on the same wavelength as Ozil especially.

[Raees]

Will he be their martial

 

[Brightonian]

Looking great. The one caveat is that he's done all this in a glittering attacking unit who are flying at the moment. The real test is whether he can keep playing well when they're struggling, the way both Rashford and Iheanacho, for example, have shown that they can for United and City respectively.

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

He needs to add goals to his game.

 

[cesc's_mullet]

Will he be their martial

I don't think so, I imagine Martial will become a very good goalscorer whilst Iwobi will be more of a playmaker in the end.

But I am assuming that Martial will eventually be moved to CF.

 

[Powderfinger]

He doesn't have particularly impressive pace, quickness, or dribbling ability in one-on-one situations but he has quick feet and his football IQ, movement, composure on the ball, and vision are fantastic, especially for a young player. Basically, he is the exact opposite of Oxlade-Chamberlain. He works really well in the current setup because he offers a counterpoint to Walcott - a wideplaymaker to offset a traditional winger - and because he has the movement, touch, and speed of thought to combine with players like Ozil, Cazorla, Walcott, and Sanchez in very quick sequences.

His goals+assists statistics aren't amazing (although not bad) but they really understate his contribution to our attack. He has been in the middle of a ton of flowing moves, often delivering the ball to the guy who then delivers the final ball to a goal scorer. The second goal against Chelsea is a good example.
