He's a good player. Nothing wrong with him in rotation with Walcott although neither would make my first eleven this season.

😆 And there we have it in a nutshell.

I agree with Capi.

We need one of the 2 on one of the wings, along with a playmaker on the other. But both Theo and Gerviniho should not be starting together.

Come again?

Theo and Gervinho both offer similar attributes and both have been surpassed by Podolski. So both ride the bench.

can't fucking stand him. the worst thing is that he has some decent abilities to work with, but he is so wasteful and dumb on the pitch.

He does the best with what he has. It's just unfortunate he was born without testicles.

You guys need to chill. He'll soon find his mojo and then he'll be LABFMOF.

We should have 4 wingers. Two explosive, direct lads, and two creative, passing lads.

Podolski, Theo and Gervinho fall into the first category. They should be in that order too, but we'll see whether Theo is off.

I totally agree Capi.

He has way too many flaws in his game to start matches, that's for sure. I agree with Kel, it's a shame that somebody who can beat a fullback so easily, can make so many dumb decisions.

I'd rather give Chamberlain the minutes to be honest. I don't think he'll provide much more in goals/assists, but at least he has a much higher ceiling.

He's shit. Kill his Arsenal career. Kill it with fire!

Dumb, shit player. Biggest waste of money since Jeffers.

Will probably sign a new LONG TERM contract next year a la Denilson or hold us to Ransom like Feo!

Apart from pace and inconsistency, Theo & Gervinho have almost nothing in common.

Theo has more end product and a track record of producing against better teams so he gets the nod from me. Gervinho I think is pretty much a bust.

I know. Just a bit pissed off with Theo. Thinking clearly, i realise i am wrong though. There is nothing wrong with asking your employer for a pay rise if you believe you are worth it and it is between you, personally, and the employer to decide the outcome. What we supporters want or even think (is he worth it?) does not come into it and we would all probably do exactly the same.
At least we got outlets like forums to vent and sometimes be corrected ...

Theo, and anybody else, will ultimately be worth what someone is willing to pay him. If we offer him £75k a week and someone else offers more, then we are wrong. Simples really.

I find it kind of amusing when people say Theo is worth '£85k max'.

How do they come up with that figure???

Have no idea. Not sure 'amusing' is the word I'd use though.

If city offer him 250k a week are we wrong?

It's not always black and white.

Andy Caroll isn't worth that 85k a week Liverpool are giving him and RVP was criminally undervalued at 90k a week with us.
