The fact that the extra income we are not ready to give him, we will eventually spend on buying a replacement. Someone who is going to take time to adapt to PL i.e. if he is from abroad. We can save that by just paying Theo the extra 25K (if newspapers are right). The extra 25K/week equals 1.3 million quid a year... just by the signing fee of 5.5 million quid, that is as good as offering Theo a 4 year deal with the extra 25K. Sounds like a completely reasonable investment rather than look for a player who doesnt know our way of football and/or probably that of the PL.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Its safe to say that 25k is not going to break us and it could be considered a sound investment when you way up the alternatives but one thing, one risk to factor into the whole shabam is Theo's general form, whether it be in his desired position or not. . .if we are tacking on another zero for the Theo that came on against Wham then I would ask 'What are we waiting for, pay the guy!' His general play, goal, and celebration had me pumped and the crowd reacted by singing out his name
But the guys form is erratic at best, maybe this floating three up front will finally give him a shot at what he says is his bezt performance but up till now he hasnt done enough to play 'hold out' with regards to wage demands.
With regards to the risk of bringing in someone nee and the time it would take for them to adjust to the PL, I agree and it was the same worry I had about the start to this campaign but Pods and Santi are doing OK so we might not neef to worry so much

So he has been on it for a while, end of the day he is the manger so of course they would break the bank for him.
We may not, we may buy someone who is Pl Based i guess it depends tbh, Well Theo says its not about money, so signing that 75k deal should not be a problem tbh and it shold not have any effect on the article.
