Ryo was superb again for Bolton

[Cripps_orig]

People may get the opinion he is better than Theo because of how poor Theo is.

Ryo may not develop to be the quality we need, but Theo certainly hasn't and is very unlikely to ever be.

Fair enough

I however am not in the business of critisising one player to praise another

Some kid we bought for Asian marketing purposes.

Wont play a game for us but he'll do what the board wants ie get lots of money.

As for the footballing side, fuck knows. No ones seen him play bar today where he got motm and cos of that hes better than Theo

I think it says more about how little Theo has developed that people at least expect him to offer more than Theo. In 5 years, Theo has remained the same limited player he was when we first bought him, who can be useful on the counter-attack when there's a lot of space (i.e. against Spurs in the second half) but in any other type of match, he's not particularly useful. I doubt he could have delivered the pass Ryo did today to win Bolton the match.

And i doubt Ryo could do what Theo has done to Barca, Chelsea, Spuds, Man Utd etc either

Whats your point?

Sounds promising. Will have to catch the extended highlights. I've some footage of the kid and he's exactly what we need down the flanks. Pace and dribbling skills. Of course

Theo isn't growing in that right wing position. He's a not a dribbler and you can't develop that sort of thing this late on. Saying he's not technically gifted is harsh because we're talking purely about his dribbling skills. I'll always say he's a striker and we should have been developing that side of his game. Wenger should have had him working on getting out of tight situations and the sort of thing that makes a great technical striker. There is an art to beating a the keeper and outwitting defenders. Technical strikers that know when to chip, loft or power the ball into the back of the net. How to curve runs, getting the timing right.....these years have a been a waste for Theo. If you can't dribble you have no chance on the wing.

Ryo sounds like the right sort of fit for us. If we play him and Ox on the flanks....can't wait to see it. Plus we still have Wellington Silva is still to come and Joe Campbell....project youth!

[Marc Overmars]

Looks talented.

But then so did Vela.

[Master Splinter]

And so did Wilshere.

And Oxlade-Chamberlain. .

[Syn]

Looks talented.

But then so did Vela.

Not when out on loan, playing top flight football every week for relegation battlers (WBA) he didn't.

[Marc Overmars]

I know, just WUMing.

lol.

[hobson's choice]

Outside of the assist he completely pocketed by Traore, what game did some of you watch. He didn't get pass Traore once, bizarre really, no one deserves MOTM from that game
