WUMger is getting him good.
I reckon Theo will leave if he hasn't signed a contract by January. I'd rather keep him but if it means we'll go after say, Jesus Navas, I'd be ok with that.

this was a bit worrying though
looking like a free then...Quote:
"but at the moment, I still hope to extend his contract so, at the moment, it doesn't affect me. Of course at some stage … if, in April, it's not done, you can think it will be difficult to do."
Suspect Walcott couldn't engineer a deal this summer. Some of the fans have already sussed this ****. I guess the club and whoever has his hand up Walcott's arse will play politics between now and January.Quote:

looks like theo isnt doing that so wenger is just keeping him out
more worried about the april comment. i would hope a decision is made way before then.
Yeah, it is hardly as if the clock is tick tick ticking with a deadline that far off.Quote:

He's young, English and has a pedigree, you don't want to lose a player like this on a bosman, so a decision needs to be reached sooner rather than later. The worst thing that could happen is for him to agree a contract with another club in January, as he'll be free to talk to whoever he wants. Considering we spend what we earn, it's important to cash in on a player like this who isn't considered key.
Quite right too. Better to have committed players on the pitch and leave those whose priorities are off the field off the field.Quote:
