He's massive for our team right now, we're far too narrow , and he'd give us a much needed outlet on the wings if needed.
He's scored over 60 goals for us, with the majority of those coming from the wings and scored 21 last season. He's a big player for us.

That's true but its partly because our team is stacked with tons of CAM's. We've got an unbalanced squad. Of course we miss Theo when we're resorting to use Ramsey and Wilshere on the wings!
Walcott had 21 goals and 19 assists last season, show me another Winger/Wide foward that did that last season on the highest level. People need to show some respect in here, he's an Arsenal player and he's a damn good one.
His numbers are phenomenal. No other Arsenal winger has scored more in a season. He works hard on his game but as said, I think we can get more out of him. If he keeps playing on that right side, he'll never get the due credit because he's playing an unorthodox role custom made for Arsenal. Half winger, half striker. I'll always maintain that he should be developed as a striker or played as an inverted winger. He's valuable to us now,but if we'd have bought Bernard, I'd worry about his future in football.
I would love to see Walcott play from left wing, he's scored a bunch of nice goals running down that side. With Özil in the middle and Cazorla on the right, we would see perfect through balls to him all day, which will probably happend anyway, no mather where he plays, but i just think he would benefit ALOT more, if he ran down left side. But maybe Wenger wants to convert the Ox into that role instead? All respect to Walcott, but i think Oxlade has a much higher potential than him, he's almost as fast as him, is stronger and got better technique, i could see him develop into a dangerous inside forward from the left side.
Oxlade has always been talked about as being a CM though, probably because of his athlete ball qualities. Do not forget the performance against Pirlo and Ambrosini.Quote:
