Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Why?

Anyway, Chelsea have signed Kenedy.

JF?

Walcott is an instictive player. He can't think it through beforehand. He just goes, finds space and converts.

His problem has always been when he is under pressure to do something or be somewhere. He has no football brain in an Ozil / Bergkamp sense.

There is no set game Theo is best suited for. He just turns up sometimes, and orher times ge has no fucking clye how to get into a game, and no inclination to do it anyway.

He's great when he's angry, has a point to prove, or anythng else emotional to him. Otherwise, he's standoffish, clueless and a waste if space.

All in all, you want hin there, but if you found Alexis 2, you'd fuck him off.

Yep agree with that. Good player when he doesn't have time to think and goes on his instincts, but the highlight reels don't show how hit and miss his first touch is and how often he makes the wrong decision.

If he wants to play as a striker he needs to be a lot braver. I don't buy that stuff about him having to play differently because of his height. He's taller than both Aguero and Alexis and he has built himself up in the gym, look at his arms. But you will never see the latter two pussying out of headers or challenges. Alexis even had a go at Theo in the FA cup final for not even attempting headers and gifting Villa possession. Ironically, Theo's goal came when Alexis switched to CF and won a header that Theo wouldn't even have jumped for if he was there. Ditto for Alexis' winner at Palace last week.

I'm not saying that he needs to become a target man or score hundreds of headers. But he has to be able to receive the ball under pressure from a tall, powerful CB in and around the box. Just playing on the shoulder isn't enough, we need someone who can do both. If Theo wants to be Michael Owen he should be doing it at Everton or Newcastle, not a team that wants to be challenging for the title.

Great shot on him.

Sorry.

Man Ure seriously after Neymar and have offered him better wages than Roonayyyyyyy!

They are so desperate right now that they are willing to offer that diving pony the biggest contract at OT

A show pony with 39 goals in 51 games for Barcelona last season and 44 goals in 65 games for Brazil, that's my kind of show pony and better than the show ponies we've been linked with.

He won't leave Barca anyhow, they would never let him.

Absolutely, I said as much before and a posse was out saying it isnt so. Walcott has 3 more years at the top. This contract will probably be his last at Arsenal. his game is limited and has not developed sufficiently in 9 years. I dont know why we keep throwing money at him, No one else would be interested, except the Everton`s and Swansea brigade, He lucked out coming to us. I have high hope that Ox will have more progress, he has more talent and his father will keep him focussed on improving.

He's a diving shite...but he has as lovely a smile as Welbeck and has about a 1 trillion earth units more end product. Easily worth the sums we've been hearing with Benzema etc.

If you separate and discern your opinion of the player from his market value, you should conclude that he is worth the money he is on as an asset of the club. Whether or not ethically he should be getting such sums is an age old debate and somewhat a different argument. Wenger knows he has a huge market value which is probably precisely why he has allowed Theo's wages to swell and be happy for him to watch our games from the bench.......Or else, you explain to me why the infamous economist has allowed it to happen and what the hell he is thinking?

People were interested in him several years ago and now the petro dollar era is at fever pitch there's no reason why other clubs wouldn't be interested if he was suddenly available.

Great shot on him.

Sorry.

He's a real target man.

He's a real target man.

Anybody think we're gonna bid for Berahino?
