Minimal impact? Theo scored the first and important goal for the FA Cup final!
Jack has been patchy but when on top form he's a good player. You saw that last goal for us he scored. He's starting to get long range goals.
Hopefully they prove you wrong this season. But I don't see the need to cut players completely out of the team to improve. We shouldn't have to weaken ourselves to get better. Both players are too young to cut short now.
yep - you can imagine Wenger & the board chinking their glasses to another job well done.
What we should be looking for in a new striker is an injection of world-class quality - another player who can break open a tight game, and come up with a moment of magic when we need it. If they're good enough, then we should still see that increase in goals, but for me it's more about giving us an edge in those elite-level CL games and the top-of-the-table PL-clashes. If we're not looking at buying that, then I'm not really that bothered about buying anyone..
Well said totally agree.
Fantastic. It only took 9 years to get something out of him. Looking at that Villa game and the team that turned up to play us, I'm pretty sure we would've coped well enough without our super striker starting the game.
Jack? Looks good but like Theo, isn't on the pitch enough and will never really develop with us, so cut our loses and get rid because his ankles are mush already. With they reckless way he plays, he'll just continue to pick up the injuries and take up room in our squad. Losing either of those wouldn't weaken us at all as they are both easily replaceable.
I'd hold onto Theo a bit longer than Jack just because Jack's having the same injury over and over again, and you know his ankles wont last the distance. However I agree that both are very dispensable.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
You did say minimal impact. It was a goal against Villa but I don't think you realise how many important goals and moments he'll come up with against big teams or in big moments. One of the few that turns up. Just think of his first ever goal in the Carling cup final against Chelsea or that great assist against Liverpool in the CL that should have sent us through to the semi's. Those moments get overshadowed because of really poor defending.
And cheating refs.

No, those moments are forgotten because in the long run they meant nothing and they haven't been backed up with consistent 'bread and butter' moments. The mainstay of any footballer worth a buck. Added to the fact he has hardly been on the pitch throughout the entire course of his career. Whatever the reasons, he isn't working out at the club and will just continue to flatter to deceive in the moments when he stays injury free. Whoevers fault it is that he is so underwhelming as a player heading into what are supposed to be his peak years doesn't matter anymore. He is what he is now and both club and player would've benefited from moving him on. But my complaints are just as pointless, he's here to stay for now.
Had the same issues with RvC but I think eventually every played who is not called Diaby gets their day in the sun. Theo has surely one standout season in him.
