Yeah but hes English so must score 40+ a season to be a successOriginally Posted by selassie
This.
He's one of our most efficient players, what is it? 10 Goals and 13 Assists this season and people want him sold?
If we sell him, Wenger is likely to put Ramsey or Diaby there, he won't replace him or at least not properly.
We need to keep Theo, he's a very important player for us.
Well no, he just needs to find more consistency. In a few games recently he has been outstanding and looked like the player we all hoped he'd become. He's just not done it consistently yet but having been injury free for a while now looks to be heading in the right direction.
He scored and assisted quite a few last season, likewise this season. Thats consistency imo.
Keep him fit and he'll produce as we've seen. Theo isnt and hasnt ever been a problem for this Arsenal side.
Hope Wenger gets a brain and plays Ox on the left regularly and the front 3 will be feared by all
His stats are pretty decent, he hasn't consistently played well though. In some games he's just not been effective.
Spurs was an interesting example and was Theo in a nutshell.
First half he was horrible, he really should have been hauled off at half time. 2nd half he goes and scores two goals!
At times I've not been convinced he's got the ability to be consistently effective. Some recent games have changed my mind but he does need a more consistent level of performance. He seems to be getting there which is positive. Right now Ox looks like the player I hoped Theo would be, if Theo could consistently get to that level too then we'd be very strong going forward.
Nah, gotta have Ox playing through the middle with Wilshire and Song. Hopefully this Myachi kid is good enough out wide on the left.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Ryo will play when we need money from the Asian market. He wont make it here.
Podolski if he comes could be on the left though
Only issue with Theo is that he doesn't threaten for 90 mins. Considering his pace he really ought to be leaving his marker for dead all game, instead I forget he's on the pitch half the time because he's quite an easy player to mark in a way, the defender knows he will always go for a foot race, so it's just a case of standing off him and timing the tackle properly.
Very productive player though and that makes him important to us regardless. I just feel he has a lot more to give.

Ah yeah. Forgot about the Kraut / Pole
Hmmm. Interesting.
Be nice to see two wingers with genuine pace though. Scare the shite out of most teams.
Right now team double up on Wally, but of we had someone as quick has him down the left, we'd rip teams apart.

We'll probably play Ramsey there tbh
I don't think Wenger usually likes having two pacey attackers on either wing. There's usually a right-footer on the left who can cut in. He's stopped going with Gervinho now and has tried Rosicky or Ramsey or, now, Benayoun. That's what worries you that Podolski would be a replacement for Van Persie because there's no way Wenger is likely to give up on Walcott any time soon (nor should he). But we'll see. ™
