What now for Walcott?

[fakeyank]

No worries guys.. we still have Arshavin, Chamakh and Bendtner! These geezers are going to win us the championship! Everybody running our football club needs to be ashamed of themselves and the top of that list is Arsene Wenger.. fucking quit you tool! Stop being a mouthpiece to boardroom politics and earning millions year after year.

Wenger keeps saying Theo's future is as a striker and he should play him there if that's the case. He has an end product and his goals and assists prove that but he's no good at the build up play part and doesn't get involved with all the tippy tappy stuff. If Wenger had coached Ian Wright in his youth, he'd have probably played him on the wings as well because he's obsessed with making complete footballers. Sometimes you just need a blunt object to finish off the job. Nothing too fancy and Theo looks like that classic sort of striker in the same mould as Owen, Defoe and Wright. These guys wouldn't excel on the flanks. It was the same for when Eduardo played on the wing. Anonymous during build up play. We could have a very good and effective player on our hands if played correctly.

I haven't seen any evidence to suggest Walcott could be an effective CF. He's fluffed several one on one's with a keeper.

But you can't even recall the goals he's scored or how many so I'm not surprised by that.

What a load of guff.

Sell the **** and be done with it. He's not that good anyway. He's led the club a merry dance over this contract for over a year, so frankly he can sod off.

What is slightly disturbing is the clubs inability to sort such an issue out, without leaving it until 48 hours before the window shuts. Yet here we are again, same as last year, fucking around, two games into the season, and with 48 hours to do (if we really are going to challenge) a lot of high quality business.

Someone's updated his wiki profile already...current club.....

I can recall he's not scored more than 9 goals in the premiership in any one season.

If we've offered him more money and he's rejected it then he can piss off. Frankly, he's not worth more than he's on. He's not even worth what he is on. If some other club are going to pay him silly money to run into players and lose the ball then more fool them. But yeah, if he goes then we do need some proper signings and there probably isn't time for any. We've signed 3 decent players but we've sold 2 - one exceptional, one decent - and look like we're about to sell another decent player. 3 first teamers out, 3 in. At best stagnation, more likely going backwards. Again.

Personally I quite liked the transfers on the last day of the window...added a bit of spice to everything...Dempsey, Tiote, Sinclair and that defender from Montpellier....we'd be a threat again for sure...

He'd be nice to keep, but he's not the sort of player you worry about leaving. We're 4th place with him and 4th place without. If he had the quality of RVC then you worry about it. He will get goals and has stepped it up recently but, IMO, Oxlade will get more. Need to replace him with someone who is more comfortable on the ball.
