Actually have a feeling he'll stay if we give him the 100K and the starting role up front. He's good mates with the other English kids, and I don't think he can take the hatred from the fans and the lack of 100% trust he's been afforded by Wenger. He'll sit on the bench half the time at any other top club.
I certainly can't see him wanting to go to United or City unless he's happy to play a secondary role - just as soon as he gets a chance to be the main man here. But I'm appealing to Theo's intelligence, who knows what his agent tells him? He would probably find himself a role at Chelsea if they ever ditching the Lady boy.
Either way, Theo would be a fool to sign with us right now. He'd be much better off considering offers from other clubs and leveraging the best possible deal for himself even if he does want to stay.
I also think, for Theo's career, a few years playing like this would do wonders for his reputation. By 26-27, he'd be in much better shape to try something new.
