Iconic. I dont know if Theo accomplished enough with us to warrant a statue, but if he did, this needs to be it
That’s actually a good question. What are the minimum (if there are any hard conditions) requirements for a statue? Imho Theo doesn’t deserve one if i compare him to the ones who have one, but he did spend quite some time here (12 years or so?) and is in the 100-goals-for-arsenal club
I was surprised to find out that Theo is only a few total goals for us behind Dennis Bergkamp (108 to 119) with 80 vs 98 assists, according to Transfermarkt. Theo’s minutes per goal is better! 23.345 mins vs 29.379 mins. I am not saying Theo should or will get a statue, but it’s an interesting talking point.
I’d say you’d have to be a legend of the club. The six that have them are Wenger and Chapman, legendary managers; Friar, whose years of servitude are longer than most fans have been alive; Henry and Bergkamp, who are Invincibles and two of the most popular players ever for this club, etc. etc.; and Adams is literally Mr. Arsenal.
Walcott was amazing, but not up there. There’s more ahead of him tbh. Hell, Graham doesn’t even have one.
“did you see that ludicrous display last night?”
