When Wenger comes out and says we might not be able to keep our star players because of our wage structure, then anything is possible.

People say it's BS, however he's never won anything in his career is getting close to his 30's and is in the last year of his contract, don't be so deluded to think he wouldn't choose to move on.

I'm sure he'd like some medals before he retires and clearly with ******* in charge this isn't the place to get them.

As much as he loves the club every ambitious footballer wants to win things, he does his bit with his goals not his fault Wenger and his merry bottlers can't help out a bit.

You can love a club and realise that you need to move somewhere else to achieve your goals. Can't see a good reason to stick with us at the moment.

dont know about you but pretty sure an fa cup means he won something.

yes we all know he wants to win more and i think he really wants to do it with us whether he will or not remains to be seen. but if he left us, he would leave with our best wishes i think. the way he would leave would be as such that we send him off happy and not like nasri etc. he has seen what has happened with them and fans and he loves us too much to do it to us

We'll see what happens when those contract talks are due.

I don't think he featured in the FA Cup final as he was injured so don't think he got a medal.

He might really want to do it with us, but it doesn't change the fact it isn't realistic because with Wenger we won't win a thing.

Whether he leaves us with best wishes doesn't matter at the end of the day as we'd still be losing another top player, but I reckon he wouldn't leave us with good feeling as many would turn against him claiming he owes us for us supporting him during his injuries.

People's opinions of players change quickly when they decided to leave.

pretty sure he did iirc he took and scored one of the penalties in the shootout.

i dont think the fans would change that much tbh, hes scored 100 goals in 6 years, you cant really ask him for much more and think most would be understanding. we'll see but i really dont think he would

had a look on bbc, he did take a pen for us so did win the cup

Fair enough, I wasn't sure on that one.

So he's got one medal, not sure he'll be satisfied with that though as he was just a kid in that season and maybe didn't feature as prominently as he does now.

nope i dont think he is but imo this season with him as captain i have seen a lot of drive in him to change this. he looks desperate to win, not just for himself but for us the fans. thats from on the pitch and interviews.

am i right in thinking he is the only winner in our squad with arsenal?

[Cripps_orig]

The way he buggered up that chance when absolutely clean through sure was awesome.
He set up the 2nd goal, apart from that he had a 'mare.
I like Theo but he's bloody frustrating.

All players miss chances. Missing one when youre 3 up isnt a big deal. He can do it when it counts ie v Udinese twice.

David Wheater will be having nightmares about him for years to come as will the rest of the Bolton defence.

Sure he was hit and miss with his final ball a few times but im happy with his performance. We need to him stay fit though cos his replacement is a pub team league one rated player and has done f all so far bar score a hit and hope v Shrewsbury which the keeper should have saved anyway
