So much optimism bask then. Theo has become a mascot for the monotony Wenger has drowned us in since.

Let’s all take a moment to acknowledge that Walcott has been here for almost 12 years.

The poster boy of how low standards have fallen in that time.

Walcott needs to get in the fucking landfill with Corrie McKeague.

Give him a chance.

He’ll come good.

Guys, you missed out the real gem in that report
"Referring to new arrivals Emmanuel Adebayor and Abou Diaby, he said Arsenal had signed "three players" but then changed that to "two-and-a-half".":haha:

Poor Diaby. It was written in the stars for the poor fella. Possibly the most talented of the 3, given that Adebayor was shit for brains.and Walcott had sawdust between his ears.

Ok let me clarify a bit, out of blue was perhaps not strictly correct, but what I'm saying is noone knew anything about this guy until we were after him a week earlier. He wasn't really someone who'd been on the radar for a while.

Ramsay would be another one, we signed him and sure Man U were after him but noone knew anything about him.

You'd think he's have some dignity and self respect and think to himself 'this isn't happening here, it's time to move on', but no he's happy to stay and collect his cheque.

He must look back at his career and be like 'wow, what a waste... ive achieved nothing'.

Watch Wenger ruin his development by playing him out of position just so he can fit him into the Carling/Uefa team/B-Team.

That’s what I don’t understand about Theo or the people around him? They can’t be focussed on football or concerned about his development considering how things have panned out. I’ve watched players of a similar age in a similar position with other clubs and they all made a decision to move on when it looked like their development hit a blank wall. What’s worse, he didn’t stick by his convictions on playing up front and talked his way out of playing that position. He’s wasted his career but finessed his way into £140k a week so maybe he’s not so pissed off. :lol:
