Match reaction vs the Mancs

[Marc Overmars]

Someone who called into Talksport said something which, when you think about it, is probably true. Walcott is going to leave unless he gets first team football. Wenger and the board know it, as do the fans. Whilst Wenger makes out that he wants him to stay and is going to talk to him,what does he do after Walcotts brilliant performance the other night - he drops him. I dont think the board want Walcott to stay at all. They know theyll get shit loads of money for him and save themselves a few million pounds a year in salary. Theyll spend half of the proceeds (to keep the fans quiet theyll buy a Crystal Palace 17 year old for £5 millions) and pocket the other half in increased dividends and a new improved contract for Wenger and Gazides.

They'll save on his wages but they'll be lucky to get a big transfer fee, unless Liverpool are desperate for him in January.

This is why I don't understand why we haven't given him the contract he wants. If he's shit next year or the year after, he'll still have a big sell-on value.

Getting anyone money is better then letting leave on a free to them. Its clear with Wenger saying he wnats it sorted by Xmas means he don't agree to their terms. he'll be off before jan 1st.

Yup definitely and I think he'll be in demand and they will get a big fee for him. He may even go to one of the Mancs - who knows.

Some have to accept the fact he is off. When out Wenger and the board let players contracts run down, it means they are off. So that said Sagna will be off.

But for once we have a good replacment in Jenkinson.

I think we are going to get a big 0 for him. I do not think any team is desperate enough to shell out 8-10 million for him in January when they can have him for free. Theo only has to sit on the bench for another 4 months and then he can sign a bumper contract.

if we get liverpool involved we should be looking for at least double that.

You do know how Wenger and the board work? They will make sure they get money that won't be spent. Oh happy days.

Last week, i thought he would stay and sign a deal, now i just don't.

He does have the kind of pace that suits the Mancs style of play. Plus he and RvC complemented each other fairly well last season in terms of assists. They are very good mates

Should come as no surprise if they get re-United.

They don't need him, he won't start ahead of Rooney or RVP well in the Middle, he won't start ahead of any of their wingers either.

[hobson's choice]

But for once we have a good replacment in Jenkinson.

He's a nice player, but he's not a good replacement, he's a back up at best for club, whose goal is it to play in the CL year in and year out.

I know i'm beating a dead horse, but this is where the problem lies, replacing players with players, who while decent, are simply not as good.

I'm out of energy thinking about the problems of this club. At some point, people at this club have to decide what they really want, or just fucking tell us. So we can just accept it, and ultimately just know what to expect.

Cause the disappointment, I think most of us feel, is that we expect better, and the manager tells us we should. But their actions says otherwise.
