What is stalling Theo??

He's joint top in terms of assists, and has 14 goals this season. Given Wenger's recent record in terms of signings, I really doubt he's easily replaceable. There's more chance that Walcott would be replaced by Gervinho mark II rather than a "top quality" player.

however Jack isnt replacebale at all. there is something special about him, you cant replace the passion, the desire he has for Arsenal. you cant replace that, he has grown up with Arsenal and that makes him more special. his footballing skills are unbelieable, hes only 21 and is only going to get better. its very easy to forget he is only 21, his performances make him seem like he is a 25/26 year old at the top of their game but it is his love for us, his never say die attiude, his willingness to do anything to help us win, that makes him irreplaceable. proof of this, is his signing a new deal very quickly because he wanted to stay. that you cant replace, someone who plays well but fucks around with a new offer, can be replaced

Jack is good but he is not irreplaceable! His love for the club is great but he is just a big fish in a terribly small pond. I think we will know how good he is in the next couple of years, if he can play at the same level and without injuries.

Even Jack will be gone as soon as the board feel they can cash in

Theo would be replaceable at any other top club apart from Arsenal. We DONT and WONT spend money on "Proper" replacements when our best players leave. We have been downgrading the quality of our team since the invincible days, that's a fact. Even when we built fairly decent teams, 07/08 and a few seasons ago, we tear them apart.

Arsene's idea of a replacement is either grooming an internal "project" player or "risk buying" abroad...most likely Ligue One.

I actually think to a degree our top 4 status this season hinges on Theo, who else is going to produce similar numbers in this team if he's not playing?

Just remember who said that

Meeting going on today with Feo's reps. Media seem to think he's likely to sign now.
