No, read it again.
It still doesn't make sense. If he wants to leave, he'll leave. If he has to run down his contract, that's what he'll do.
It makes perfect sense. The only way to keep our best players is by offering them big contracts when they're crap and no other top team will touch them with yours. "Sign this £80k pw deal Theo or we're selling you to Stoke next week who'll pay you £30k pw".
It's the only way an unsuccessful club like ours can keep their best players.
We've just done it with the Brit pack. The risk is Ramsey, Gibbs etc never improve. The alternative is what's happened with Theo happening with someone like Ramsey eg we didn't get him to re-sign and he suddenly rediscovers how to play football.
You can't force anyone to sign for another club either. How are you going to sell him to Stoke if he doesn't wanna go there? Silly.
QUOTE=Maestro;238937]Interested to know opinions on here, if you were Theo ..why would you stay and sign on?[/QUOTE]
Basically the same as what cripps said....
5 of the British lads have signed up for long term (so that's basically at least another 3 years). If I were Theo id be thinking Im about to be a leader of one of the top clubs in the world. If I were him id be thinking I can be a legend here, im starting every game, the fans will love me. ...whats not to like??
He said its not about the money. ..it obviously is as he would have signed by now.
Out of the five, imo, Jack and Jenkinson are the ones that love the club and they show it in their performances. I think theo should show his commitment to the club and he'll get his chance to cement his place upfront, we've seen how easy it is to get contracts signed up so ge just needs to sign.
We need a group of players to decide that they want to achieve something together and win the furst trophy for the club in almost a decade. 5 have at least decided to start, no one knows if it will be achievable but if it happens it wont be forgotten....If I were him I'd want to be a part of that.

You don't play him. Join Stoke, sign a new contract or don't get in the squad for the remaining two years of your contract. He'd soon sign, Wenger tried to force him to sign by not playing him this season but it doesn't really work when the player can sign a pre-contract in January.
That will never happen anywhere.You don't play him. Join Stoke, sign a new contract or don't get in the squad for the remaining two years of your contract.

The alternative is for us to lose our best player every season.
Tbh Grebbo is right.
