    Walcott has never had the talent, a very ordinary footballer I've said it for years talent is clear as day.....Oxo proves that. Just a shame we've invested so much money in him really.

    Was just thinking of discussions we had in the past about Walcott. While we both thought he was wildly over-hyped, we agreed that at least he had the right attitude.

    He doesn't even have that any more.

    Sadly that's football these days, very few ordinary genuine guys who play for the joy of football and give 100%. I think that can be one of the pitfalls of giving youngsters big contracts before they've had to prove their worth.

    The only way I see Theo being effective is the last 20-25 minutes of a game and thats primarily because he has pace. We might as well try and get Usain Bolt... he might do a better job actually! Theo's crossing has improved this season but his ball control is clearly not that of a professional footballer! I dont know who it was who said that he does not have a footballing brain but whoever it was, he hit the nail on the head!

    If Arsenal wants to be a top team, Wally has no place around this club.. if we want to be pushing the likes of Fulham, Everton, Villa for Europa league places, then he is a good squad player. This is the same for many other players at the club unfortunately!

    Totally agree. But the way the market is now, Clubs feel they have to do that.

    I reckon we should change approach - build a team around a spine of proven quality and reward the fuck out of them and complement them with lower paid talent that need to prove themselves if they want to be rewarded like those in the spine rather than paying idiotic amounts to everybody.

    I think we got it right with Flamini, he wanted big contract when he hardly did nout and we let him go thats the way it should be. The way the manger/club handle contracts is a worry.

    Under no circumstances should Walcott be offered an improved salary.

    He is shit.

    I never wanted to agree with this, but as the time has gone on, I am inclined to fully agree.

    Yep, starting to agree with it as well. He's not a winger and it's best for him to move on. He should move to another club and keep his head down so he can get out of the spotlight. It's staggering that Wenger couldn't turn him into a better player.

    It was wrong to put him into the first team straight away. He'd have been a better player if he'd have been playing in the reserves with Bould's young players. Same goes for Ramsey. Their growth has been stunted in the first team. Another failed player to go on the scrap heap.
