Iwobi is getting some criticism but if heās up for it I would definitely still have him around as āsquad depthā, as you arenāt going to be able to get and keep happy a player much better than him as a second stringer. L
Probably heās on realistic wages too, yknow maybe just an adequate living wage of 30k a week or whatever. Keeps him above the breadline
Iwobi is 22 and really not that good to keep around. The fact heās so young and will have circa 100 PL appearances for a top 4/6 club makes him extremely marketable. We can easily replace him with someone of similiar age and quality but totally unproven in the PL for 1/5th of the price we can sell Iwobi for.
The football value he provides really is of a second stringer and we can get similar levels of value output from someone else. Itās time we get really smart about doing the business stuff.
I remember reading somewhere that Iwobiās latest deal is worth something like Ā£70k a week
So basically heās on Eriksen money when his new deal commences ?
If we get Nelson and probably Smith-Rowe back in the summer they should get his minutes. I assume Suarez will get a starting role eventually if he manages to convince Sanhelli/Emery and Mkhitaryan/Ozil will probably be to expensive to offload. There is really no reason at all to keep Iwobi. Even if we donāt sign another winger than Suarez. Saka is also a player from the youth whose name keeps popping up. There are enough options to go with.

Yes Iād move Iwobi on if heās on 70k because thatās still a wage some lesser club would willingly pay him to be one of their star players.
Moving forward we need to be far more vicious in only keeping the second string if they know their place/role, but then that does bring with it a much quicker player turnover as they come in, get unhappier quicker and leave earlier. So you need to have that much more luck / skill in identifying the gems amongst the dross.
Youāre right we could and perhaps should trade Welbeck & Iwobi for Saka & Smith-Rowe right now in terms of their squad role and save a lot of money in doing so

We canāt really compare because Eriksen signed his contract years ago, itāll be up in 18 months and his next contract will be 200k-300k. Youād expect Spurs flog him in the summer

No, Eriksen is on Iwobi money.
This is a stick to beat Spurs with, not Arsenal.

Yeah be good business by Spurs, have Eriksen playing like a star on pittance for years and then flog him for a massive fee when heās 27 years old.

Stats are extremely useful, but I do wonder if these guys actually watch games and donāt see how predictable, dull and sluggish the attacking play is and that is not fine at all.

Iād suggest they donāt and are just going off our goals scored numbers which leads people to believe we have an extremely potent attack.
The fact he said our attack is fine says it all.
Itās just as āfineā as a limp dick in a brothel.
