Still a useful player though, but £100k? Really? Even in the Spurs game, where he was very successful, there were so many times where he made the wrong decision. Is that harsh? I guess it could well be, since I noticed it so much because he was always there, unlike some of the more competent players who were a little more anonymous.

The point is, my position is more nuanced than hating people for the sake of it...
Theo is quite a weird player to assess. One the one hand when he has a bad game he has a very bad game, he makes constant wrong decisions even during his good games, has poor ball control and his finishing when one on one is usually close to the keeper, giving them a chance to make a save. Judged on that you would say he isn't worth 100k a week.

However despite all of the above he does keep scoring and getting assists. His crossing seems to be improving and his finishing when he cuts in from the wing is quality. It's something we have benefited from this season.

Even though he isn't worth the money he is demanding I think we have to give it to him. We need him more that he needs us.
