I put a a tenner Walcott will sign for manu. With Nani on his way out, Walcott will be a perfect replacement on their right hand side (wing or striker). Not to mention Walcott and RVP has a decent understanding on the pitch. :coffee:

House prices are absurd too...but a "City Banker" has no qualms in paying over a million pounds for a Georgian Terrace in Islington that is overlooked by High rise council blocks (I've nothing against council blocks...I was brought up in one in my early years).Quote:

Sure no player should demand where he plays...but I do think he partially has a case here.
Man City and Chelsea can throw wages around until everybody is blue in the face, I think the issue with Theo isn't that he wants a Man City style wage but more that he wants to be paid according to his value to the team.
He's delivered for this team for 2 seasons now, sure he's inconsistent but this boy has star potential and he's starting to produce BIG performances this season on a more consistent basis.
Knowing our club, he probably asked for 80k and we offered 75k. That's just the way things are done by us.
apparently theo's house going up for sale story is bullshit.
his parents got divorced about a year ago. the house he bought for them is the one up for sale. which would make sense.
of course the media knew all of this but still decided to print a completely false twisted story :rolleyes:
even says 'Thieves struck after Theo’s parents and older brother had left the home to...'
not his house. parents house.

No, but he was asked who he thought was the biggest **** on GW, and said "i know ItsMe".Quote:

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott is reluctant to join Liverpool due to his preference for staying in London and the fact the Reds are not seen as a step up from the Gunners, according to the Daily Mail.
The 23-year-old’s future has been under intense scrutiny after he turned down Arsenal’s offer of a contract extension in the summer. With less than 8 months left to run on his current deal, Walcott could be on the move as soon as January if Arsenal decide to cash in rather than lose him on a free next summer.
Liverpool and Chelsea are among the clubs strongly linked with a move and the Premier League duo are ready to pounce should the former Southampton youngster fail to commit his future to the Gunners in the coming weeks.
However, Brendan Rodgers is going to have to work hard to try and persuade the England international to move to Liverpool with Walcott believed to have reservations about moving to Merseyside.
The Stanmore-born ace want’s to remain in London and with his fiance also attending university in the capital, neither want to uproot and move up north.
Walcott is also questioning the wisdom in leaving a club who have been in the Champions League for the last 13 seasons, for one who have not qualified for the last three years and have little chance of qualifying for Europe’s premier competition next year after a poor start to this seasons Premier League campaign.
Walcott’s agent also represents Brendan Rodgers, so he’s aware of Liverpool’s interest and their willingness to meet his wage demands, but it seems a move to the Reds is unlikely now.

A move to Chelsea would ensure Walcott remained in London and competed for trophies each year, but he’d be considered nothing more than a squad player at Stamford Bridge, so it leaves his options limited.
This has left Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confident he can find a compromise to ensure the forward remains at the Emirates, with the Frenchman making a personal plea to the Arsenal board last week to ask them to up their £75,000-a-week offer.
Talk about a massive conflict of interests. Even the banking world wouldn't (officially) allow shit like this.Quote:

Interesting if true.Quote:

Yeah like that's going to make a difference. For the 500th time, he doesn't want more money.Quote:

Olivier Giroud is passable as the 'big man' but he is a bit far too motherfucking sexy - the role should ideally be played by a cartoon-faced mongy beanpole like Crouch. However Theo Walcott is not a demanding man. Theo Walcott is a reasonable guy who understands this current climate and so doesn't demand it. Written into the contract should be a legal obligation of Giroud to train with Walcott 4 times a day rehearsing goal celebrations, preferably of the variety where Theo can jump on the back of Giroud displaying a united front of racial harmony, while also serving as a valuable audition to appear on Strictly Come Dancing in year 2018. And if you don't believe this is all Theo Walcott desires, you will be utterly shocked when he is definitely playing the central role and not at all playing out wide for Man Utd, Chelsea or Man City.
Play the Welbeck and Sturridge cards all you like but Theo is after love. Man love. Basically he wants Wenger to fuck him up the centre circle but Wenger is little bit reluctant until Theo proves his age. Theo even grew a tache (of sorts) but he still can't get the meat injection he craves. Giroud is already taken by half the fags in France, Ox won't fuck him because, by God, he is straight as they come. And when Jack shouts "Man Up!" it really doesn't help. So Theo thinks if he does enough shopping it will dampen the yearning, but he'll need cash for that. And the shops are better in Chelsea - if you are a bender. His agent has played on this of course, hitting Theo while he is young and before he grows out of it. All in all this is why I'm against homosexuality.Quote:
