What is stalling Theo??

[IBK]

I don't think we can say that Wilshere puts in better performances consistently. He played almost all of 10-11 and was understandably inconsistent given that it was his first season at the top. The fact that he put in some superb individual performances (Barca at home and the CC Final against Birmingham) has somewhat clouded the fact that there were quite a few games that season where he struggled to make a huge impact. That doesn't mean he didn't have a good season (indeed, he performed infinitely better than Theo did in his first full season at Arsenal) but he wasn't consistently 7-8/10. Then, he got injured and missed all of the next season and has only just returned this year, where again he's been very good some games, decent/off colour in others which is again understandable.

Earlier in thread it's been said that Wilshere is given £80K/week because of future potential, and I agree with that (same with Theo, even if you think Wilshere will be the better footballer Theo's past productivity and progression suggests he'll continue to be a very important source of goals/assists for us). However, if the argument is that Wilshere deserves more because he has played better than Walcott on a consistent basis so far at Arsenal, IMO that doesn't ring true at all. Over the last 2 seasons Walcott has been one of the most consistent performers at the club.

Theo is currently way ahead of Jack. We love Jack because of his heart on sleeve attitude, but he is still young, and green at times on the pitch.

Jack still has a way to go, especially after being out for so long. His final ball and shooting needs a little work and will have to start dominating the midfield more and dictating play.

But we're paying him a handsome fee to try and ward off other clubs and to keep him happy. I wouldn't say it's based on merit or past performances. If the club has no problem paying inflated prices for our young players, then why not pay something a little more competitive for our experienced players that have actually performed for us over a number of years?

Rumours say that he has agreed a 4 yr deal worth 90k pw, will be announced tomorrow.

We'll see.

[Marc Overmars]

90k a week + 3m signing on free, apparently. Now it's just a matter of when it's announced, expected to be next week.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Good.


Now that wasn't so hard now Arsenal was it

90k a week + 3m signing on free, apparently. Now it's just a matter of when it's announced, expected to be next week.

I think it's fair to suggest that if we had of signed Villa, Theo would've been told to jog on.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

the drop in interest for zaha completely correlates with break-through talks with theo, which is worrying. did the board really think zaha was a capable replacement for theo?

[Xhaka Can’t]

The board thought it would be the minimum required to keep us quiet. Probably.

Personally I don't give a shit any more because we are dogshit for the foreseeable future.
