What is stalling Theo??

[-Xs-]

Everyone always talks about his consistency, but for the last couple of seasons he has been one of our top performers (consistently enough) to merit being one of the top earners at the club. Is he worth 80k+ a week? Probably not, very few are, but he'd probably earn that at any of the other top 3 clubs because he can win games. He can be frustrating, but I watch him and he reminds me so much of Henry, it would be a great loss to our club IMHO if we sell him with his best years still to come.

I can't see the problem with offering him top dollar. It's my understanding that the board are tough and won't be bullied by players but letting a top top player like theo go as a free agent is disgusting business.

We can afford to pay him whatever if we're not paying 20£m for him... And if he wants out we can sell.
I just don't understand the boards business thinking here.

Is a disgrace we let r **** persie and nasri to 1 year of their contract. This shit doesn't happen at united.

it's lazy perceptions that have been stuck with him for a long time, even though, alongside RVP, he was our most important attacker last season. we saw glimpses of it yesterday when he misplaced that pass to cazorla on the break, huge groans reminiscent of those of years gone by toward him. the boy is 22/23 and far from the finished article. over the next couple of seasons, no matter where he is, we will really see him develop into a player. reading th14's biog at the moment reminds you of the stages of development he went through and just how raw he was as a forward in 99 - i distinctly remember he used to miss so many one-on-one's that would drive highbury nuts - but then look what happened to him.

Until he puts pen to paper, I'm not going to crow over him, sing his name or even plead with Wenger to 'sign him up'. For all the nonsense AW has come out with in the last 3 or 4 years, that one small recent comment still holds true. These young players have taken so far from Arsenal. They've given nothing. I don't even mean trophies. Signing a new contract is the way to show you're committed, to prove you're a fan, to demonstrate that for all the badge-kissing in the world, therein lies a dedicated player.

It's time for Theo to buck the trend. Show the likes of Nasri, Fabregas, Song and van Persie what it's like to be a hero at one club rather than a mercenary, surplus to requirements at another. However, we've had our fingers burnt one too many times with other players. I'm not going to wait with baited breath for any news, be it positive or negative.

He's going to leave isn't he?!



We are such a bullshit club.

There is no possible reason why he wouldn't sign his contract now unless he is leaving in the summer. We're playing him up front and will offer him £90k pw (Jack's on £80k pw so £90k for Feo seems 'reasonable')

He's fucking gone.

Yea I think we may have lost Theo already (this wasnt my thought a few weeks back) during the post interview he said that the win was good for "Arsenal" he realised this then went back to his usual "we" talk, but i think it was a slip.

The ball is in his court and he had made his shop window look really nice for the new year now. I think Wenger has possibly fucked this one up again.

I think hes off.

Nasri, RvC now possibly Walcott....it's ridiculous that our first team starters are allowed to get to the last year in their contract.

I never thought RvC would leave, but he wanted to win trophies at any cost and he may do so at man united but he also said the year before that if he did leave and won something elsewhere that it wouldn't be the same.

Theo has time so i hope he signs but Im not optimistic.

Interested to know opinions on here, if you were Theo ..why would you stay and sign on?

[Cripps_orig]

If he stays, he will become imo a club legend. Staying when all others have left. He will become an even bigger fan favourite than he is now. Has all the makings to become one of our best ever. Maybe not quite at Bergkamps level but surely Henry level which isnt a bad level at all.

We have a core of British players signed up to long term contracts. He is the best of the lot so if he signs and this team grows together, he can be the leader of something special.

We have Wenger

Hes gone

Because we are Arsenal FC ffs.

Not many clubs are bigger, and certainly none where he's going to be 1st team.

Pisses me off how you can always be so bloody right.

A week ago I laughed at you saying Theo is the best of our British contingent....

Just fuck off, man.
