kolo toure: and now somehow about Theo

[Niall_Quinn]

I could say the same about you and your laughable critisisms of Walcott which you've been very quiet about since the Chelsea game

Wonder why?

As for Jenkinson, he was shite pre season and even worse at the start of the season. He was even crap in midweek v Marseille. He might have played well v WBA but one game in a season doesnt make a player good

Go back to the last match thread to find my latest criticism of Theo Walcott. I'm not saying the guy is a pub teamer, I'm saying he's failed to deliver on his potential. Gervinho has come in and already done more than Theo and that says a lot about Theo. The guy has plenty to say for himself, whether in the media or in books, but seems to do more talking off the pitch than on it. He needs to change that don't you think? If he improves then I'll say well done Theo too. I want him to improve.

Didnt realise Gervinho already has double figures and sets up most of RVPs goals for him and scares the shit out of Barca and other teams with his pace. Theo is far better. See what i mean with laughable.

I want Jenkinson to get better. Of course i do. Hes an Arsenal player. Not a very good one admittedly but hes young and hopefully he does a Theo and comes good but theres also a chance he can do a Ryo Mitchyarse whatever and disappear.

No argument there, just replying to NQ who has the annoying habit of trivialising everything to money. Anyway anyone who has watched kolo knows He's one of those rare passion players who wear there hearts on their sleeves and are pretty easy to read. Funnilly, these are the characteristics that make me not want him back. Take campbell's 2nd coming, he was as cool and as professional as they come. On and off the bench he never seemed agitated or overwhelmed, just did his shift and left. Also the Iceman was always like that, in fact he cites that as the reason he can't become a manager. kolo would be passion personified in a 2nd coming, and in a team where he won't be 1St choice or one that has shown the ability of losing 8-2, players unable to handle their emotions could be another hinderance.

Bergkamp, Kolo, Campbell

Spot the odd one out. Here's a clue, it isn't the forward.

[Niall_Quinn]

I didn't say or imply Gervinho is in double figures for goals. What's that about? Theo isn't in double figures either. Nor has he set up "most" of RvP's goals. You want to make shit up and then say I told you so.

I think it IS the forward. He;s an Arsenal man, the other two aren't.

i thought gervinho had set up most of RVP's goals. he did against chelsea, stoke and others. if gervinho could shoot he would be miles ahead of theo right now. i love theo, think he will be great for us but he needs to improve big time, take yesterday for example, he really should have scored instead of rvp.

You said and i quote

Gervinho has come in and already done more than Theo

Theo has done all the things ive mentioned. Gervinho hasnt come close to it.

Or were you just talking about this season and comparing the 2? Cos in that case, Theo has still scored more and scared the shit out of the likes of Bolton, WBA etc whilst Gervinho got sent off and is widely regarded as Diaby with a forehead

This thread is retarded.

Now that it seems we have moved on to Theo.

When will people realise, that he is not going to get better?

How many fucking years of aspiring and failing to achieve mediocrity will it take?

He is awful, he is incapable of learning and even yesterday, against West Brom, he could rarely beat a man.

He was incredibly fortunate yesterday when he should have scored, that Van Persie was following up when he shot it straight at the keeper.

Theo was the one dark cloud in a shining performance and I'm a long way past being fed up with this guy.

At least he was in there. I don't hold his shots to goals ratio against him, it's his decision making and apparent inability to learn. Totally frustrating. When you see him get the ball and start to run you know there's a 1% chance he'll do something with it. Amazing when he does, excruciating the rest of the time. He doesn't do anything except run straight ahead, often straight into the defender. Gervinho can drop a shoulder and go either way. He's as sloppy as Theo right now in the final third but improving game to game. It would be exciting if Theo was improving too, but he's not. He still has games where he goes missing for 90 minutes. That's not good enough at this level.
