But apart from all that, what has he ever won?

He was excellent there, shame they sold him tbh.Originally Posted by Ach
Probably cos he was on loan there
A bit part player for Real in la liga, scored a couple in his last game but they were that impressed they didn't sign him.
2nd Europa league trophy he was a bit part player with only 17 games and 3 goals and only 4 games in Europe.
He's picked up some trophies for sure, but the question is how integral was he to those trophy wins, in two cases I highlighted he was not a regular or key player. Noone really talks about him around Europe and no big clubs seem to be linked with him either suggesting he's not exactly setting the world on fire.

fair do's
Yeah let's be honest if he was the world beater you think he is he wouldn't be at Sevilla right now.
i think walcott has improved from the first few years he was here and i think a large part of that comes from the fact he has bulked up. that cannot be denied. he used to be a weedy winger with little presence, he certainly is no ronaldo, but he's usually hacked down nowadays instead of brushed off the ball. that's correlated to the fact he's stronger which in itself breeds more confidence when he's dribbling. its also to do with his pace and also skill which has improved.

Get off it, compared to what we have now he was messi. Not a world beater but a great component in a proper football team.

Can't argue about compared to what we have now, wouldn't be top of my list to sign though, there's better out there.
Ben Arfa would do for me.
You can compare Reyes to Hleb and Flamini.
The later two, like Reyes complemented our playing style perfectly, now neither has on individual terms gone on and set the world alight but they were all perfect for what we needed, and whats worse is their respective replacements have either moved on, or never really arrived.
You could even say the same about Nasri to an extent. At his best for us he has never been that good for city.
What Wenger and the board are doing now is not bringing in quality, or if they are Wenger is coaching the quality right out of them or just using them in the wrong way. I may get slaughtered for this but i think Asharvin is a pure example.
Yet again he was very good for Russia during the Euros, but Wenger has relegated him to the bench.
Surly with Carzola looking burnt out already and Podolski having a little strop, Asharvin would be the ideal candidate to get some playing time. However Wenger will just continue to persist with the team and tactics that has gotten us our worst start ever to a prem league season, and after last seasons start that is really saying something.
