You call it optimism, I call it the likeliest outcome!More of that infamous Jury optimism
I know what you're saying, I just think demand for Theo this window is at an all time low ya know? I cant see many teams really wanting him at this point even for only 90K a week.
It's never as simple as that with players but at the same time we can't keep making excuses for players.
I dont think it's as easy as saying his finishing deserts him when he's out of the side. While it can, and it seemingly has, that hasn't always been the case.
I'm not even sure on what's being debated at this point?I dont think it's as easy as saying his finishing deserts him when he's out of the side. While it can, and it seemingly has, that hasn't always been the case.
While he may not be the most technically gifted, he isn't the first or last player at a top club to only excel in one position. We dont even have to look that far, do we?
No that he's ever, in 11 years, been given a decent run at CF! Let that sink in.
My initial point was that Theo has a lot of excuses made for him.
Not a debate per se. All I'm saying is Theo is getting it a bit rough from most quarters, and it's really not deserved. The excuses? He deserves some being made for him. Bigger excuses have been made for far better players at Arsenal.I'm not even sure on what's being debated at this point?
I'm just using his poor adaptation during his stint on the LW to demonstrate he's a coached footballer and not a natural one.
Özil has had good seasons playing on the right for Real if I'm not mistaken and he also won a WC while playing on the left wing. He wasn't excellent there but he wasn't absolutely useless.
Vardy runs and works his socks off for every ball. Theo would retire if he had to work that much.
Not the only difference though, first touch and running with the ball consistently better. Not saying Vardy is elite in the technical area, but it all seems to come together and work for him, at the moment anyway.
That's what it is. He puts all the attributes together consistency, and maintains a high level of intensity. He's the David Ferrer of strikers, although 'gatekeeper' to the elite would be harsh!
Theo hasn't been right since the Sp**s knee ligament damage. You can see him pulling out of challenges. EPL is fast and furious and there's no room for the tentative. Wenger hasn't helped by giving him so little game time, but he's got bigger fish to fry.
I cant even say Ive seen what might be wrong. Might not have had enough opportunities tbh. I thought he lost a yard well before he done his ACL, so Im not sure it's that. He said he was just as quick, if not quicker, after the injury. But then he would say that, I suppose.
By ending your post with this statement, you come across as trying to say that my post was ****e. Now let's take a look at your superior and well thought post. In an attempt to refute my assertion that theo played poorly during Girouds barren spell, you cut and paste a list of matches. Now of those matches, if we take the ones we lost or drew (yea, they are the ones which cost us the league title) , he played against stoke, chelsea, southampton, man u, swansea, westham, palace and sunderland. Out of those matches, he had a grand total of 3 shots. I mean, three, trois, tres, si, 3, iii ****ing shots in 8 matches. Please come back to with some better arguments, OK?
But a sucka we like!
