What is stalling Theo??

[Ollie the Optimist]

Yup. And Jack was happy to sign.

Theo and his agent won't even discuss terms with the club. Tells you all you need to know.

theo is easily replaceable, he is a very good player and can finish well, but so can many others and so can be replaced. (provided we spend money)


however Jack isnt replacebale at all. there is something special about him, you cant replace the passion, the desire he has for Arsenal. you cant replace that, he has grown up with Arsenal and that makes him more special. his footballing skills are unbelieable, hes only 21 and is only going to get better. its very easy to forget he is only 21, his performances make him seem like he is a 25/26 year old at the top of their game but it is his love for us, his never say die attiude, his willingness to do anything to help us win, that makes him irreplaceable. proof of this, is his signing a new deal very quickly because he wanted to stay. that you cant replace, someone who plays well but fucks around with a new offer, can be replaced

Apparently he's been telling people to call him Theorry

i do not see the sense in happily waving goodbye to a player who is essential to the team we have at the moment, as he also was last season. isn't that how we have sunken into this mess, by letting our most productive players leave and having to find replacements that will settle in straight away and be cheap enough for wenger's tight wallet? think about those that have come and gone from wide positions over the years and how they have performed in comparison. right now i couldn't care less what his personal thoughts are for his own career, only for the fact that without him we'd be in even more shite than we are. he's doing his job, long may that continue and the only way we will build anything worthwhile in the prem again is if we build around the key components of our team. theo is that now and we need him.

There's this paranoia over "player power" which means some fans are happy to see players leave as long as it shows that the club are "in charge" and players can't dictate terms.

[AKBapologist]

Had a shocker, in a game where no one in the team came close to scoring and yet he walks away with an assist.

Easily replaceable my arse. If we're unable to keep him, we're certainly unable to afford a replacement who produces as much from wide or central positions right now, especially english, or under 25.

The same people saying that shit are probably the same ones who said the likes of Ashley Young, Lennon or Bendtner are better players.

[Marc Overmars]

I agree, I don't understand how people can be so flippant when saying he's replacable.

Just remember who said that

[Marc Overmars]

Meeting going on today with Feo's reps. Media seem to think he's likely to sign now.

He's joint top in terms of assists, and has 14 goals this season. Given Wenger's recent record in terms of signings, I really doubt he's easily replaceable. There's more chance that Walcott would be replaced by Gervinho mark II rather than a "top quality" player.
