What now for Walcott?

[Marc Overmars]

To think there are not financial issues mixed up with a desire to play in a favoured position is naive. To want us to pay over the odds for a player who is not worth £100Kpw to us is stupid.

Why shouldn't he ask considering we have/had lesser players who've been on far more than they're worth anyway? He's not really being out of order. It's an unfortunate situation because he's indicated he'd like to stay, but if the club doesn't value him then what can you do?

If/when he leaves I'll wish him well.

[Xhaka Can’t]

So like Henry then?

Cos more often than not, all he did was kick the ball past them and out pace them. If thats your strength then use it. Dont knock him for it

Yeah, but when Henry kicked a ball past a player he didn't then run into said player.

Yeah but according to him its not about the money, So why should he be upset if he gets 75K.

So would he take 100K and play on the right or 75K and play as a striker, Which do you think he'd go for?

[Ollie the Optimist]

walcott has been an idiot for releasing this statement/interview not because its got us talking about wether its money etc why he wont sign but because the next time he plays up front if he does at all, we as fans and wenger (because theo has said he has learnt his trade and its time to be up front) will expect him to prove it to us from the first minute. he has to score goals. he cant have a game or two to settle into his new role because of what he has said so if he doesnt deliever instantly the fans will moan. (rightly or wrongly) just look at giroud situation right now. theos just hsould have kept quiet.


though if its not about hte money, i wonder what would happen if arsenal offered him 75k and striker role

[Power n Glory]

Fans are moaning at him regardless. He played for 15minutes against City and fans still found a way to have a pop at him. Scored a goal in a game before that and people were talking about a pass to Giroud that wasn't on. He has to probe himself in every minute of every game at the moment. We still get throw away comments about his finishing ability, decision making and intelligence even though he's shown he can turn a game around and perform in the big games - Champs League, derby against Champions...he's had big moments against the best but it's always forgotten.

[V-Pig]

Because he's an average kid in a team with better players. Put him in a shit team with shit players (England) and he barely does anything (that one hat-trick years ago excepted).

[Cripps_orig]

Being our 2nd best player last season was hardly average tbh

He hasnt scored 40 goals and assisted 20 others in every season tbh so he must be shit
