What now for Walcott?

[V-Pig]

Bye, Walcott. Good attitude, average player, and thanks making our side look less technical than it is.

[Kano]

Pretty much, how can you lose your 3 most productive players and expect to improve?

Same shit, different year.

except this year will be out of the top four.

I've lost count of how many years people have been saying that for.

You should have kept notes. Sounds like you are disorganised or just plain lazy.

Look like Walcott is probably off according to the Times. I thought as much weeks ago. He was a good mate of RVP and I had a feeling he wouldnt hang around if he went. Our squad is falling apart - its a shambles!

Not really no. All thats happening is those who were close or part of project youth are going and new group is getting together.

Loosing Theo is no loss at all.

Easy really if you replace them with better players or change the way you play.

Or he offered an alternative approach, something that was not your usual tippy-tappy passing game (which didn't work anyway because our players aren't good enough to implement that style). Getting the right players to play like Barcelona requires us to spend a lot of money on top quality. Given that's not going to happen, surely keeping players like Walcott would make sense. Let's revert to a more high speed, counter-attacking style of play, making the most of what we do have in the squad. We need to realise we are a limited squad these days, and trying to be something we're not will only make things worse.

Of course it's all the players fault for being so greedy as to want a better contract. The board are totally blameless in this, they're simply behaving as all good capitalists would by trying to squeeze wages down to the lowest possible level, and then crying wolf when players choose to leave.
.

So you think The club should give theo 100k A week and why exactly does he deserve it? Should you not have to earn a raise or because he is a footballer he is entitled to it because of a few assists and a few goals he scored.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

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.

Spot on.

How we leave business so late is beyond me, WTF does Gazidas do all day and Dick law.
