What is stalling Theo??

[Kano]

Well if Walcott gets what he wanted neither will he be, the point is all of those players can operate as wingers and if someone offered us a straight swap for Theo it would be a no brainer as they are clearly more talented players.

i wouldn't take a direct swap at all, as they would lose a lot of their effectiveness. any of those for someone in the centre of our team, sure no problem.

Like I said those players have and can play on the wing and all have the skills to do so, so I still say it's a no brainer. Talent wise Walcott is limited.

for too many years we buy players who play far better in the middle, then stick them on the wing and they become very inconsistent. players can do 'a job' in other positions but that's not the idea of building a strong starting eleven. so i don't see the sense in your logic. anyway, your idea is pure fantasy.

Yeah it is pure fantase as none of those clubs woudl ever contemplate a swap for those players in return for Walcott.

I don't think it's an unnatural position for any of the players listed to be honest, beating your man is important on the wing and they can all do so.

in a direct team sure but in ours, under wenger? forget it. that's why it doesn't work and that is the point worth remembering.

It's what we're seeing with Podolski right now and I've always been baffled by Wenger's decision to play Rosicky and Nasri outwide instead of sticking them in the middle with Fabregas and dropping weak links like Denilson completely out of the team. Pisses me off to think what could have been if we'd have played a Cesc, Song Rosicky/Diaby/Nasri combo from the early years. Wenger can take way to long to change things that aren't working. Just look how good Rosicky looks in the middle and same goes for Diaby. When fit, we wasted seasons playing both players out in wide positions.
