False.
On song only Sanchez is superior.

When you hardly get a look in wtf do you expect to happen? Give him a run of games and then you will see what he is capable of.

Contrast the performances for England of Welbeck and Theo the last couple of matches. It just sums up the difference between the two.
Theo has one asset, which is running in behind. If he doesn't have that, he is literally useless. He cannot take players on, he cannot pass that well, he isn't good in the air or holding up the ball. Welbeck for all his defiencies in front of goal is a much better player than Theo in most facets aside from finishing and making runs.
Thats not to say making runs and finishing isn't important, because it is. Which is why they can both be useful players for us in different situations. But the point I am making is, with the strong group of wingers/strikers we have and the fact that all signs point towards us looking to sign another striker/winger in the summer, then Theo is not worth the wages he wants us to give him. We can easily survive without him.

I don't remember anyone rating Welbeck outside of Manc fans and even then opinion was divided, now all of a sudden he is better than Walcott who is capable of hitting double digits in goals and assists in a single season. Laughable.
Walcott on form is easily our best winger after Sanchez.

So we need a attacker already losing Theo means we need 2, we want to have less work in summer market as possible

He is terrible defensively, does not have strength, no dribbling skills, no aerial ability, no work rate. Theo is a very mediocre player. Welbeck is miles better than him.

Ox atm has nothing of the sort, he is much more rounded than Walcott but nothing about his game stands out as a top drawer piece of play.
As for Gnabry, i'm glad you ignored that part because he's done the grand sum of f**k all so far and seems more injury prone than Theo himself.
