His shooting is woeful, he crosses when he should cut it back it's like he plays with his eyes closed.

He's pointless.

It will be interesting to see how a few of them make out under a new manager, perhaps they might come good.....there again ...

Really don't get the hate. Good squad player from the academy.

Like if Gibbs were an AM

Iwobi so far is a guy who hasn't responded to Wenger's ideas of letting players figure things out for themselves. Despite his technical and physical abilities he just doesn't seem any smarter or more effective on the pitch than when he first appeared. I think a hearty dose of very specialized 1 on 1 coaching could help him a lot. Don't think he'll ever be world class but he can certainly be useful for us.

We might be pleasantly surprised by a few of the players contributions once Wonga has gone, lets hope so.

yep, hopefully. but again.....that's why an ancelotti worries me if we bring him in. yes, strong CV with strong clubs for sure. but if he's expected to teach/coach young players along....can he?

Don't Gibbs dirty like that and compare him to this guy again, first and foremost Gibbs was a good squad player because he could do his primary job well which was defending, Iwobi on the other hand is an AM/Winger who has zero end product what exactly is useful about that?

Iwobi has no end product thats what makes him pointless. yes he can run with the ball, yes he can play one-twos, but the rest of his game is utter shite. whats an offensive footballer if they can't create or score ?

People diss Welbeck but at least when he is shit he defends well. What does Iwobi do when he is not scoring or assisting ?

Yeah, Welbeck is much more effective and useful all round than Iwobi.
