What is stalling Theo??

[Cripps_orig]

Walcott's running down his contract, he wants out. He wants to go and play for another team. He'll be in a different shirt trying to score against us. Why do we give a shit about this player any more? Why do we give him even the slightest sympathy?

Cos hes an Arsenal player who wants to play for us but doesnt accept the BS Wenger keeps spouting?

none of them do (bar jack and jenks) but the important thing is that we try and retain those that at least offer something when they are on the pitch. he does that. so in a situation when we are sinking down the plughole i'd rather we kept those that at least work in this system and can stick the ball in the net or set something up. because once his stats leave the team - who is there to replace them? as we are seeing at the moment, absolutely no-one.

Au contraire, I don't hate Theo. I just call him how I see him. Him now being a massive **** is probably not his own doing, so it's kind of harsh for us to lay into him for demanding to be treated as a super talent.

The blame must be layed squarely at the idiotic media pundits who created this whole mess of projecting him as a wonder kid. Face it, it's clear that Theo's football intelligence isn't at the level of a top player. He has what I like to call football autism, though his is a bit mild. He has the raw pace and a good shot which are key ingredients to make him into a feared striker. But, he just can't seem to get everything ticking all at once - at least not often enough. Imo, he's fully aware of this shortcoming, and it must affect his confidence to an extent. Hence, him shying away into anonymity in lots of games.

Wenger plays Ramsey on the flank and Gervinho up front. Gervinho didn't even take a penalty against Bradford City yet he's getting games up front when he's missing sitters. I don't trust Wenger's judgement anymore.

Not saying you have to, but SAF is no fool, he won't buy Theo and play him as a striker he just won't.

It's really difficult to sum up any enthusiasm for any of the players anymore.

Theo? Who gives a shit.

The only thing that means anything to me anymore, is the club. And the club are effectively the supporters now. What a sad state of affairs.

As if that would make a difference to some of the reactions on here. RVP spelled things out clearly in the summer and it wasn't received very well at all even though we all finally knew where we stood with him.

If he says i want out, then everyone knows where we stand. We ask the manager and the board be honest with us, then players should to. People were upset with RVP because of what he did on his website. Had he attacked the board and manager then people may have been ok with that. He just seemed to take it out on the club and to hell with the fans, who loved him.

Rumours flyers around...take it with a pinch of salt because it's Twitter, but supposedly he's agreed terms with Chelsea.

I wouldn't be overly surprised if it's true.

As seen with the RVP case, some fans need babying when it comes to how much is disclosed. The club tried to make out that RVP wanted to leave for City and wanted more money but RVP revealed what actaully happened. Talks went sour and there wasn't an offical contract offer made by the club. We had already decided to sell after the talks.

That makes no sense. He did attack the Board and Wenger by saying who was present during the meeting and said they lacked ambition. Was he lying?

[Harvey Specter]

Money, position, seeing what clubs are interested.

All things all players do when renewing their contract.

RVP kept Prasing Wenger, instead of saying he failed him etc. Anyway you look at it RVC suck 2 fingers up at the fans no matter how the club treated him.

Rubbish. Fans will take issue with any key player that wants to leave the club even if the reasons are valid and something they agree with. There wasn't a thing RVP could say to stop the backlash. With Cesc, he kept his mouth shut throughout his ordeal with Barca and he was getting pelted for it and people said he should 'man up' and speak for himself.

RVP does that and he still gets pelted. He didn't stick two fingers up at the fans and didn't take any parting shots the way Nasri or Ade did.
