1. wenger goes and sign a youngster who sees his natural position to be that of a striker (wide or otherwise)
2. wenger then decides -- arbitrarily -- that he is going to deploy him primarily as a winger (probably cos of his pace)
3. theo is all grown up now and has had enough of such shit, so come contract renewal time as an adult he tells wenger 'play me in my natural position or fuck off'
4. fans get on his back for what exactly? that he has not proven himself sufficiently as a winger? --- he is fucking not one! --- and he is first to admit that.
It's hard trying to relate to a footballers way of thinking, they live in a completley different world. I mean, Ronaldo was crying the other week at Madrid because his pay wasn't in proportion.
The figures are insane to us but to him it's about feeling valued, footballers are huge egomaniacs and being paid x amount makes it arguably an issue of status. There's obviously no difference to us between 75k and 100k, but to him it's like being told he's an average-to-good squad member or a key player, something he now believes he is. He could be forgiven for thinking that considering he's one of the longest serving members of the squad and 2nd top scorer from the past couple of seasons.
I don't think we as a club or Theo have done anything wrong here. He's looking after himself and so are we, my only gripe is that we seem reluctant to pay a relatively small amount for a player who despite his faults, is actually someone worth having around IMO. I don't think any of us really understand why our pay structure is the way it is and that's where the problem lies.
Well half of the fans who phoned in TS felt he should go. So its not only GW. Go on goal.com/Sky sports Fans saying the same thing.
He had a run of good games last season and the season before that where Hansen was talking rubbish about him after scoring a hat trick.
why didn't wenger try and develop him as a goalkeeper/fullbck/cb/dm/STRiKER then?
Never said they werent
too short/too stupid/too small/too lazy/too shitwhy didn't wenger try and develop him as a goalkeeper/fullbck/cb/dm/STRiKER then?
And where has this fans boo him at the ground come from. Don't think he gets boos, does he?
yeah that hatrick came in the second game of the season so it hardly helps your argument. last season i can think of a handful of good theo performances, first two that spring to mind are chelsea away and spurs at home (for a half) norwich away he was ok but i cant think of many 8/9 out of 10 performances
