Would be a good signing though haven't seen him play but judging by what I've heard a very good player, and if he's good enough to make the Spanish squad thats good enough for me!

http://www.mirror.co.uk/incoming/sou...alcott-1180296Southampton have shown their intent for a first season back in the *Premier League – by making an audacious enquiry about Arsenal and England *winger Theo Walcott.
Arsenal remain hopeful of seeing off interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and now Southampton, and will this week reopen talks with Walcott’s advisers over the 23-year-old’s future.
The Gunners will also *attempt to underline their ambitions by stepping up efforts to push through the signing of Santi Cazorla from Malaga, while also considering a season-long loan of Nuri Sahin from Real Madrid.
But the newly promoted Saints want to take Walcott back to his first sporting home.
They have become the *latest club to ask about *Walcott’s availability and were not put off by the fact they would have to pay at least Ł15million and Ł100,000-a-week in wages to secure his signature.
Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese has made a claim to new and *prospective signings that the club can challenge for a Champions League place in the next three years.
But even if Walcott *decided to quit the *Emirates, Southampton would face a near-*impossible battle to convince him to snub interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, City and Tottenham to *return to the South Coast.
Cortese and manager Nigel Adkins want to make a signing to back up their bold claims that Saints can muscle their way into *Europe.
They view Walcott, who grew up at Southampton and made 21 League *appearances before joining Arsenal as a 16-year-old, as the perfect man.
Walcott has just 12 months of his Arsenal contract.
Wenger’s bid to sign *Ł20m-rated attacking *midfielder Santi Cazorla is not believed to have any impact on *Walcott.
Arsenal have agreed a deal in principle to take Sahin on a season-long loan, but are yet to open *negotiations with him.
Barca DNA is one thing, but![]()

And can we not just do a cash plus Arshavin for Dempsey? Arshavin plus 6million seems fair.

Imagine this scenario....
Podolski for Van Persie
Giroud for Bendtner
Cazorla for Arshavin
Sahin for Denilson
Sakho for Squillacci
Dempsey for Vela
and Cesar for Almunia all in one summer....
7 in and 7 out

There's no way Dempsey is worth 4x Arshavin![]()
