Imagine if Iwobi got shown a modicum of the affection that people show Jenkinson.

How's he done at Everton?

He hasn’t played yet. Yesterday against Watford a wee man called Bernard did really well on the left flank. He was dangerous all game. He scored the only game and came close again second half. He will fight Iwobi for that place. The team looks up for that 7th place and maybe better if a top team falters.

Yes, I'm actually quite surprised by the reaction. People really like Arsenal themed pyjamas I guess.

he will end up as a central player and a very good one, too

Yeah I think so too, he has the attributes to excel centrally. Out wide he lacked the explosiveness needed.

I think it's disgusting the disdain with which a talented young Arsenal player who was at the club since he was 9 years old, broke into the first team and made 100 odd appearances, never complained, worked hard and had a great demeanour is spoken of just because some fans thought his talent made him worth sticking with.

By all accounts he has always been an underdog (almost released at various points of his youth career) and he broke into the team as an underdog (with everyone creaming themselves over "The Jeff") so he is a proven fighter which should be help him overcome this setback to his career.

Apart from capitalising every word on twitter, he is clearly a talented baller and seems a likeable character to boot so i wish him all the best in the future!

Nice. Said it before, absolutely nothing against Iwobi. Wish him the best at Everton.

Imagine thinking he will start immediately in the 3rd match with no pre-season and 2 training sessions.

A blue Iwobi has been sighted.

Iwobi's played really well. Kean has looked very good too. Walcott, not so much!

Andre Gomes is well meh

Enjoyable game. Villa held on for dear life, but it was great to see them score right at the death. Celebrations were great. Good to have them back in the League.

Unlucky!

I've hated Villa ever since they sang that shit about Eduardo. I never used to mind them, but after that I just wanted them to go bankrupt and all their fans to become homeless. It's been a happy few years while they've been toiling away in the Championship.

Don't mind this Villa under Smith that much. Plenty of interesting players and they actually play good football. Very confident passing out from the back.

After 3 games I can definitely see value in Mings at CB. Solid no nonsense defender.

Take it elsewhere boys, this thread is for Sicaro to slate Iwobi.

Same here. I was at that game and I'll never forget it.

Off the mark for Everton now in his first start.

Are you suggesting he shouldn't have scored against them because they're a bad team, or what's the point of your comment?

Quite the game from Iwobi

Scored against Wolves this weekend. Does this goal count?

No, im just saying context is important when you praise him for doing well.

Clrnc just pointed out that he had scored in his first start

Why would any Arsenal fan be so obsessed with wanting an Arsenal academy kid with a great attitude to fail, even if we did let him go.

If anyone's wondering how you get to negative 42 rep.

This is how you do it.

He's done it in a small forum though, it's not like this place is RedCafe. Context is important.

Currently we're missing him, but I'm still happy the path is open for one of our (IMO) higher-ceiling youngsters now.

Ceiling is just a guesstimate. We don't really have a Messi here. Else the player would be starting week in week out. We had invested a lot of time in Iwobi. Anyways, it's ok that we sold him, but like Qwiss says, pathetic that this thread exists, and gets populated. Someone might actually be wishing that he fails.
