Side show Bob is an upgrade on Mustafi and Kos, so it's good deal for us as a stop gap until Saliba comes in. Don't doubt there'll be some banter though as Luiz is bound to drop a few clangers. But overall I think our defence will be much better with him and Tierney in there.

What do you make of the Iwobi deal ?

He’s 32 and on the downslope, his ability on the ball will help you, but I don’t see what he adds defensively at all.

I’ve always thought Iwobi was gash. I could never understand how Wenger kept picking him, I just don’t get him, I don’t see what he actually is. Maybe I’m missing something lol.

He drops a bollock sometimes, but I think it's overplayed because he is one of those players with a big personality. He's a decent enough at defending and he offers a bit more playing the ball out. He's a stop gap until Saliba comes in, and for the price, it's a decent deal.

As for Iwobi, he's good running at players but that's about it. His decision making is terrible and his final ball is one of the worst I've seen. Other than that he rarely shoots at goal, but he does track back a bit I suppose. Can't believe you've paid that money for him tbh, Arsenal fans are rubbing their hands at that one.

Still, Kipper has predicted that he'll flourish now, so there's nothing to worry about mate <laugh>

With some proper coaching, the lad could prove to be a gem, I reckon.

<laugh> You mean the power shift where you've won **** all mate ?

No, Pix.

I mean the one that has enabled us to celebrate St Arsehole's Day two seasons on the bounce.

I'm looking forward to us making it a hat trick.

He can’t cross for ****e can he. He’s not fit to lace Bernard’s boots, I don’t see where he fits in. Zaha yes, Iwobi - **** no.

We’ve basically bought Origi for £28m

If he’d have gone to Leicester, Fosse would have him down as a potential new Ronaldo by now mate.

I’m going for the new Origi, we’ll see the best of him in the half time subs warm up.

I feel for you mate, looked like you were going to get Zaha, ended up with Iwobi <laugh>

Still, that Moise Keen is going to tear it up so it's not all bad.

We were heavily linked with him during that Zaha saga, looks a quality prospect and a strong lad too so he should be suited to the prem.

Sold 21-year-old club grown Lookman for £22.5m and spent nearly twice as much on 23-year-old Iwobi? Yeah, that one's lost me.

I have never been a fan of Iwobi as he has no final ball and loses possession easily.
If I had to put a price on him it would be £25m at best, so I am stunned that:
- we have sold him
- Everton paid so much for him
