The Ox Chamber has cost us a fraction of that on both counts and represents a potentially large sell-on profit. It might seem wrongheaded to reduce everything to bald economic considerations but those are the realities of how the club is being run atm.
I've heard murmurings of the club being 'ready' to spend big in the near future, but we've heard similar murmurings before. It's hard not be sceptical.
As for playing Foxy Chambermaid instead of Walcott, my overriding impression is that Wenger plays Theo because he has paid the dues of his seniority. It's not his way to drop a player who he feels has earnt his chance.
Besides which, why change a winning team? It's not as if Walcott is playing terribly, not in every match anyway.
Not only that but I think Hideous Theo needs to improve his defensive work, something Normal Theo has improved notably this season.
Well that's blatantly the main reason. Whatever you think of Theo and Gerv's attacking abilities they sprint back (Theo more than Gerv from what I've seen) to help out the fullbacks. Oxlade might be more threatening or capable of more in attack (which is debatable...we have no idea if he can be consistently dangerous) but nothing should disrupt the defensive work-ethic of the team.Quote:

Hleb :haha:.
He'll be assisting the passer who assisted the winger who assisted the striker for Doncaster soon.
We must sign him. Offer him Chamakh's wages. He has seen the error of his ways - everybody deserves a second chance. We must bring Aliak back home.

Its not the fact that OAC is not starting, its the fact that he does not even get on when we need pace. Why is he not ahead of Arshavin, Rosicky, Chakma from the bench?Quote:
