Wenger - the ultimate wum"Theo is a strong player and also a great person, and the combination of his ability and pace always make him such a valuable asset either from the flanks or down the middle
has wenger got a pistol in right hand?
Soo can we actually get on with improving the squad now the wumming is over? Plz

This is good news. Theo isn't the best talent on earth, but he is an established EPL player, and for his goal scoring/assist record over the past couple of seasons I'd say 100k is about the going rate (albeit that the sums footballers are paid are ludicrous in themselves). We might have done better spending 3M on a punt from Ligue 1, but given Wenger's recent record I'm pleased we haven't.
More to the point, like it or not Theo is high profile. Plenty of kids look up to him and have his name on their shirts. To have one of our highest profile players decide to sign for us rather than stabbing us in the back is a good thing - and hopefully stops some of the rot that has infected us in terms of selling our best players.
I'm as disappointed as the next man over our general lack of transferr activity (again), but I think that Theo has more affinity for my club than our recent high profile departures, and let's not let our general despondency about our team's decline get us down about Theo's signing.
What I am more concerned about is why every signing we make seems to be such a drawn out drama compared to other clubs, and why we have seemingly had to use the transfer window to sign an existing player rather than fresh blood?
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
At least we shouldn't have to deal with any issues for at least a year and a half. Only Sagna left and I'm not bothered about him. I'm hoping we strengthen, but i don't think we will. But at least Theo has signed.Originally Posted by IBK

Sell him. He's shit!
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

Leave thread open, we'll need it again next season.
