I don't rate Uduokhai on the same level as Tomori in any way.

Lol, you don start?

Tomori that has been a division 2 player over a bundesliga player?

You are a joker.

pls ..how do you people see Iwobi as an CM?
I feel the position might be ideal for him.
He has an eye for brilliant passes, Poor goal scoring ,ability to dribble in a right space and finally a decent ball carrier.
I feels he could do well in that position.

He isn't combative and strong enough for that role. My fears.....

Fifa Ballon d'or shortlist

1) Eden Hazard

3) Frenkie de Jong
4) Matthijs de Ligt
5) Sadio Mane
6) Kylian Mbappe
7) Lionel Messi
8 ) Cristiano Ronaldo
9) Mohamed Salah
10) Virgil van Dijk

A fair list. But Allison should've been there instead of Harry Kane

Arsenal are still interested in Zaha. What would this mean for Iwobi and one of Lacazette/Aubamayeng? I'd personally sell Lacazette.

Enh......

Lacazette is arsenals best and most combative forward.

It'll be a mistake to sell him

Even after this, Rohr will still prefer Musa to him.. cheesy

I'm a Rohr fan but if Onyekuru gets to play regularly for Monaco and Rohr stubbornly sticks to his archaic ways, then be should just go.....he has nothing to offer be dat

Rohr has been easing Musa out, I think Musa officially played his last match as a first teamer

But Rohr probably prefers Kalu though

Santi Carzola had energy as well something Iwobi is lacking and with little due respect to Iwobi, Carzola had a far higher footballing intelligence
Santi had more "energy" than Iwobi? Lol that's hilarious.
Santi is obviously better than Iwobi as a CM but not because of energy.
I've never been a fan of the idea of him playing as a CM as that's the position he was playing when he nearly got cut from Arsenal's academy.
Iwobi is a secondary playmaker...think Hleb and Nasri.
He would be barely manageable as a CM in a 4-3-3 but not in a midfield 2

Energy is different from explosiveness, Iwobi hardly finishes the match with the same intensity as he started it, I personally think he's a 65 minutes player that's why he usually performs better off the bench or subbed off before the final whistle

Sorry I don't buy that. Why do you think Santi got moved to the middle from outwide?? He didn't have the legs and Stamina to play there.
Besides as a deep lying playmaker, he doesn't need to exert himself as much as Iwobi does.
Santi just plays more intelligently..

No Lacazette is a fraud. We would've finished 9th place if we didn't sign Aubamayeng.
He's weak, small, lacks explosiveness. Dude is barely faster than Giroud.
He is a great finisher with impressive technique. But it's useless if you don't have the movement to back it up.
Took me a while to admit the guy isn't a good lone striker at all. There's a reason why Deschamps doesn't invite him.

Bro..iwobi likes to press a lot ..he sometimes over impose himself ..that is why he sometimes can't finish a match. At CM ..he would do less running which means less fatigue

I might slightly disagree with this your post. Laca is a good striker...the role he played this past season was instrumental in Auba golden boot success. With explosive wingers and good playmaker, Laca can better Auba

Onyekuru will be exposed at Monaco except he improves on tracking back and unselfishness.

Nah what makes Auba elite is his movement. Laca may be the better 'footballer', but I will always pick Auba over him as a CF.
Lacazette's movement is so disappointing. If you're going to be short - at least be explosive or be sturdy. Laca is neither.

That Heartland players went to Azerbaijan is a good development...the exposure is good for them...better facilities,pitches,meeting white players-timidity off.....

I remember when Enyimba went to Italy to play Inter Milan....lost 0-7...but dominated Africa twice...
