As our only offensive player any real consequence, I do expect Walcott to effectively rescue Ozil from failure. The question is will Walcott be enough.Quote:

Lets not forget a clogger from France who couldnt get a game for the national team after a while strolled in and became the leagues best player (Cantona).
Its worrying that we may need Walcott to be on fire to keep our title challenge going. He's been far too inconsistant in recent years, how many times have we thought he was on the verge of greatness to then be kicked in the bollocks again.Quote:

I guess it only counts if it helps your own argument? :D
Im very well aware of that, i never said he wasnt good before, but it doesnt change that he didnt have his international breakthrough until the 2002 world cup and he didnt have his proper breakthrough to the Ronaldinho we know today until he was 24ish. Im just using it as an argument to BOBN, that he cant be writting Wilshere off at the age of 21 :)Quote:

Youre comparing the two? QUIY LYING.
At 24 he became the best player in the world, one of the best players ever seen actually. Thats above and beyond "world class" and way above anything expected of Wilshere.Quote:

Come on BOBN, now you're just making stuff up to fit your own arguments. He had a good world cup and opened the eyes of many, but powering his team? :D Ronaldo and Rivaldo were the guys who took that team to the final and won it :)Quote:
