Would have much appreciated if Wenger could have kept his mouth shut and afforded us a few more weeks of hopes of him signing di ting.Originally Posted by Wiltord's Winner
His interview on MOTD didn't sound too promising at all, it smelt exactly like the RVC interview last season, ironically, after the spuds game.

IF he leaves, then he's a twat who should be more loyal.
However, football-y, not too bothered. He's not as good as his stats suggest and most other players in the team are more competent players. He's not good enough to keep if he doesn't want to be here.
"Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference."
I get the feeling he does want to be here though. If he wanted to leave he would have gone in the summer, the club wouldn't have kept a player in their final year if they didn't think he would renew.
Wenget doesn't rate him. If Gervinho wasn't crocked Theo would still be on the bench.
Yeah I kind of get that feeling too, IMHO we gave him the 75K per week ultimatum in the summer and out of principle aren't prepared to increase our offer.
I personally think if he wants to stay for 90K per week and we're offer only 80K per week we're cutting our nose off to spite our face.
Theo is one of our best performers this season and is our top scorer, that is fact. Theo appears to be maturing into a very decent player and is our best winger IMHO.
Heck he's probably our best Centre forward too. I absolutely don't understand what we're doing here...and If I'm honest I think we've blown it with Theo.
Do the board and Arsene honestly believe we can build a competitive team when we strip it of our best players every single season...Newcastle can keep hold of their best players, so can the Sc*m to a lesser degree...yet we sell our crown jewels every single season.
It's absolutely ridiculous and I'm sick of it.
There's an intolerable level of arrogance running through our club. Its shown in many ways - and one of the most galling appears to be the readiness to cut off our noses to spite our faces when it comes to wage policies/selling players. I agree that you cannot have players dictating terms to a club. But by the same token we are living in a world where clubs have to accept that decent players have a lot of power in the marketplace. There are degrees - and it certainly seems that our club is prepared to sacrifice continuity and success on the pitch for principle. If we were a club that simply couldn't pay more than our valuations of certain players then it would be one thing. But we spunk a massive wage bill that is itself bloated by payments to utterly mediocre players who rarely, if ever, play for us. Is Walcott worth £90K per week? He is worth what the market will pay for him. And while he is an asset to our team - which he undoubtedly is - he should be treated as such - not frozen out while the club seems almost unwilling to make the effort to keep him.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
If he leaves we're most likely not going to replace him with a well established, top class winger. In his position he's the best we've got. Gervinho is not as efficient as him either in terms of creating chances or scoring, while AOC's reputation doesn't really match his contributions for us (although I do rate him). Podolski still doesn't look comfortable as a winger and is more likely to drift inside, so I'd be worried if Theo did leave.
And loyalty's a two way street, if the club's been fobbing him off with the new contract then I can understand his frustration.
i think you've been proved wrong on him and can't bring yourself to admit it.
