What is stalling Theo??

[selassie]

Stats can be very misleading if not analyzed properly. One or two good games is all that is required to bump up some percentages.

And just who are you trying to fool here by rubbishing the notion that Theo is inconsistent? How many years have we been watching this lad being an absolute mong on the field? How many times have we seen him being a total fuck up or anonymous?

Lastly, this discussion was never about Theo being sold or not, so please don't skew my argument in a bid to give preeminence to yours.

I'm not rubbishing any notion, just offering up stats and concrete evidence that his perfomances over the past few seasons have not been inconsistent in the context of other members of our team and comparable players in PL.

Sure he's been anonymous, what do you expect? He's an emerging talent, he can't be a star everytime he plays.

Bottomline is his performances have been up there with our best performers for the past few seasons. Yes he isn't "World Class" but right now he offers more to our team than everybody bar Carzola.

Finally, you were the one that said Theo was replaceable but you have yet to offer up a player who could replace him who is within our budget etc?

Again with the misrepresentation I see. I didn't mention that until in my post prior to this one, and said post was never a part of our discussion. So stop using it to support your argument.

Let me remind you that my post stating that paying Theo 90K was ridiculous, was what sparked our little discussion, sir. Now, if you want to start another topic about if I want him sold and who'd be an adequate replacement, then do so in a less underhanded manner.

I can replace Theo. Just let me goalhang, be selfish as fuck and take 20 shots a game.
One is bound to go in. I can even conduct a gay celebration with my best friend Carl Jenkinson.

Oh I see, so I'm only allowed to quote from posts you made yesterday?

I'm fully aware of what your posts are all about and have offered up a different opinion to all of them, I fail to see what I'm doing here is underhanded. We'll just have to agree to disagree Chief.

Yea, good we can at least agree on something, even if it's agreeing to disagree.

Anyway chaps, interesting days ahead. Let's see how this one pans out. Though I know I'll be laughing at some folks when our latest mercenary rejects the 80-85K offered and fucks off, thereby becoming persona non-grata around these parts - every posts in reference to him being laced with that infamous *censored word.

A shocker that people on here are comparing Sir Jack to Theo. Come on lads, I know you're all passionate about your wonder boy Theo, and would probably fight tooth and nail in his defence, but please don't stoop so low.

Jack is pure footballing talent. Among the brightest prospects anywhere around town, Theo is just a pacy player at best who'll give a good finish 3-4 out of 10 times.

Whats Jack done to deserve such recognition?

As P&G says, doesnt score many, doesnt assist many. I wouldnt call him Artetaesque cos Jack actually tries to be creative. Hes just not very good at it yet and if we are paying him 85k a week for not being good at something then Theo deserves 100k for being good at something

Jack Wilshere is on £85k a week. That's not justified if we're going relate pay to performance but if it means we've locked him into a long term deal, so be it. It makes no sense to be so critical. We're trying to retain the services of one of our top performing players. This season he's been head and shoulders above the rest and last season he was good alongside Song and RVP. You need to see the bigger picture. Makes no sense to blast the club for our transfer policy but then throw a fit when it looks as though we may finally keep one of our top performers. If Theo were allowed to walk on a free it would really open up a wound and I'm sure other players around the club would really start questioning the clubs ambition. We have to stop the rot somewhere. Why shouldn't Theo be on the same money as Podolski and Arshavin?

Jesus Christ, of course it is. He's a £85k a week player every time he's on the pitch. I can think of one team that wouldn't make room for him and they play in Spain. I'm all for giving Walcott £200k a week because, quite frankly, if the higher ups at the club make less i don't give a fuck. But don't use Wilshere as a yardstick for Theo - jack's in another bracket entirely.
