Theo Out for SIX Months!

[Penguin]

Those saying we could have Gnabry or Ox on the wing are missing the point. We don't really have anyone that offers what Theo does - we're not really missing a winger, we're missing a proper forward because his average position is usually very high up and his main assets are his movement off the ball and finishing. Could've got a shedload of goals for us in the second half of the season. Ox and Gnabry might have the pace but they're more about carrying the ball rather than making forward runs and scoring.

We covered well for Walcott's absence earlier, but Wenger will need to ask Podolski/Gnabry/Ox to play a different type of game now. We'll need numbers in the box and with Ramsey still injured, we don't have any runners from midfield either. Pretty sure Wenger won't buy big though and he probably won't buy at all.

Agreed. The lack of pace and positive movement we have in our forward positions is worrying even with Theo fit so it is a mini disaster to lose him for 6 months. It's not the end of the world but the fact that we don't have a similar player in our whole squad means we can't stick to the same tactics and other players will have to compensate for what we're losing.

It's a good opportunity for Gnabry and Ox to step up and make the position their own, so I hope one of them takes it.

speechless.....

Fucking hell !!!

[BOBN]

Feel sorry for Theo more than anything. Right wing should be adequately covered by the Ox and Gnabbers, but we definately now need another striker.

Please. Walcott is our sole goal threat.

Massive blow. This could shatter our season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think it'll shatter our season but we're probably going to be winning most games from now on by the odd goal. Somebody does usually step up in Wenger teams though, in terms of goals.

[Munchies]

So devestated by this, he was just hitting form as well

[Maestro]

fuck fuck fuck, is all

are we cursed or what?

tough luck kid, get well and back to playing next season.

Wenget really better buy now just to augment our attacking options.

[Munchies]

What a cunt this twat is :



BFG

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh Cock!!! Even though this doesn't have the stinging emotional pain of the Eduardo situation I just can't help feeling a sense of Deja Vu about this. It's seems like a potential tipping point for our season -Theo was absolutely important to our title challenge!

One of the few players that could scare the opposition with just his prescene, streching them and disorganising them in the process. It's up to the Ox and Gnabry to step up but we need to buy a striker now just to provide cover for up front.

Feel gutted for him as well personally though. He was lighting up the league with his recent performances and was certain starter for England in Brazil.

It's just banter. Or at least that's what we told the spuds when Walcott was on the WUM. Have to allow it.
