Moreover, we can't feasibly drop Walcott based on his contribution, but on the other hand playing him lowers the quality of football on display because he's incapable of participating in a high speed one-touch style of football.
We desperately need a summer cleanout, at the moment we're trying to play a style of football that the players aren't capable of. Either we sell the thrash and get better players in (unlikely), or Wenger admits expectations need to be lower and we resort to a pub team style looking to consolidate 4th at best.
