Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Power n Glory]

Not sure how exactly Winterburn would be privy to that (may have spoken to another player) but it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.

Ala Gerrard on Sunday, Theo's probably frustrated with sitting on the bench but getting into a row isn't the solution. He should know that Wenger has on the whole been very fair and reasonable with him up to this point.

One of Theo's strengths is that he seems fairly intelligent, astute and pleasant so I'd like to think it was a one-off incident.

Regarding his wage demands, if Liverpool are baulking at paying their golden boy Sterling his wage demands, he must realise there's no way he'll even get the 100 K he's already getting here, there. Man City are probably the only realistic option but he'll just be stuck on the bench (like he is atm here) and probably go the way of a Scott Sinclair or <insert promising English talent they've ruined>.

Agree with some of that but not all. I don't think Wenger has been fair and reasonable in this situation. Whenever there is a contract dispute, he'll bench a player. He did the same to Theo before, he did it with Cashley, with Wiltord, Edu.....

Luckily, we haven't been desperate for Theo to play, but I can't see how Welbeck is starting ahead of him. It's senseless because Welbeck left Utd feeling disgruntled about being played out of position instead of up front. Not sure how patient Welbeck will be or even if his goal contribution will come close to Theo's. He's like a Gervinho without the dribbling skills.

It's funny because we had this same problem with Wiltord years ago where he wanted to play as striker and then left on a free.

I'd prefer a telegraph pole myself

Sell Per. He`s close to pointless anyway. Let Chambers take his position.

Not sure we'll get anything for Per

Per's lack of pace and urgency on the ball has become a bigger issues than his lack of pace off it.

Gabriel reminds of Pepe, very aggressive and first into tackles, hope he develops into a WC CB.
