What is stalling Theo??

[selassie]

Go easy, as you're seriously bordering on overrating him here. Theo is still no world class player, awashed with talent and technical ability. Yes, he does use his attributes (pace and a moderately good shot/finish) to his advantage at times, but he's still pretty much an inconsistent git who at times looks like he doesn't have a brain. I reckon that it won't be very long before we start tearing out our hair again when he's goes completely batshit on the pitch.

With that said, he's still pretty much our most important player post RvC. But then again we've become undeniably small time. We're not a club on a mission to compete with the best clubs in the world, so Theo, along with the heavy contingent of dross, are pretty much at home here.

I'm not overrating him at all, just explaining what he produces and provides for the team. His stats this season are what 14 goals and 11 assists in 20 odd games, a fair few of them have been sub appearances too. Last season he reached double figures in both assists and goals. The season before was pretty much the same.

Theo may not be the finished article and I agree he does lack a brain and technical skills at times but his stats are not to be scoffed at. You say I'm overrating him? So we lose him, who do you realistically want to replace him with who's going to immediately replicate his stats?

Theo absolutely isn't inconsistent in our team, he's proving the opposite, to be a very consistent performer.

Some of you guys amaze me! You complain about the team yet are happy for our best players to be sold...have you not seen our transfer policy over the past 5 years? If he's sold he won't be replaced!
