If indeed Theo won't accept the 80k a week on offer then the best option would be to let him go for at least 15million and have that fund re-invested immediately in a player like Ben Afha. And i wonder why Arsene's not looking to bring in Babartov as i believe he could do a very good job as a supporting striker for us. We are talking about quality dept in the squad here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912477080848649591.post-25478647929837153892012-07-18T23:27:55.998+01:002012-07-18T23:27:55.998+01:00Losing Theo as well as RVP wd be a blow to us and ...Losing Theo as well as RVP wd be a blow to us and yet more comfort to the enemy!

When RVP leaves, will young Wallcott look as effective?"<br />Wait, would RVP have scored as many goals without theo to supply him? How come noone else set up RVP as much, with the possible exception of Song. It's a symbiotic relationship, but you seem to want to criticise Theo for MAKING CHANCES!? How is that right?<br />Imo losing theo this summer would be a bit of a blow. While it's true he's not reached the required level of consistency, he was our 2nd most dangerous attacker last season, as is shown by the numbers, and to lose him wouldn't be advisable.<br />There's no guarantee Oxlade could even come close to theo next season. His performances weren't exactly consistent either. Granted he will most likely develop into a much more rounded footballer, but next season is almost certainly too soon.<br />All that said, don't give him more than he's worth; if he wants ridiculous amounts of money, then he can go and get it somewhere else. Same goes for any player at arsenal.<br />Also I don't remember the non-Arsenal Denilson playing for Barca; I remember him signing for Betis, and playing for Brazil a bit.davinoreply@blogger.com
