Did Walcott dive for the red card?

You mean like when Theo has chipped the keeper or taken it with his left foot? Henry came here and has said himself that he had to relearn how to become a striker. He wasn't that confident on his left foot and he was never any good in the air. The Barca miss in the final is a prime example, if that had been on the right, I'd have been confident he'd finish, but on the left, he was never that confident. He could score from that side, but he was never as consistent on that foot or side compared to the right.

It's the same for RVP. On his left foot, you see the confidence but only over the past few seasons, he's started using his 'chocolate' leg and you'd never see him lace one in with his right like how he does with his left.

Here is Henry's goal compilation. A great variety of goals like you said, but the bulk are from him wrapping them around the keeper with his right foot. Even the belted shots. Wenger should be playing Theo down that same left hand side so he can drift in.

You gotta stop with the Henry comparisons to be honest because they're ridiculous.

You say Henry had to relearn how to play up front and yet he played a handful of matches before scoring and ended up with what was it 26 goals in his first season?

Also I saw Henry in the World Cup in 98 he was pretty potent even then from the wing, he ended up at Juve not long after based on his performances on top of that. The comparisons with Walcott are laughable, for some odd reason you seem to love this guy and fail to see his shortcomings which are on show pretty much every time he plays.

He's nothing special and never will be and he doesn't have the talent to be even mentioned in the same breath as Henry, Walcott constantly goes missing and fluffs more chances than one cares to count...and after what over 5 years you'd think he'd be a lot better than he is considering he's apparently a "top talent".

All he's proved so far is how overrated he is to be honest. I think you'll find a lot of people who wouldn't be too bothered if he left, that's how much he's impressed since he arrived,yes he's English but so what it doesn't make him more special because he is, he should be judged on performances and based on those his career has flopped so far.

If someone came in and offered 10-12 million for him I'd say take it and re-invest, they won't of course because nobody is particularly interested in a player who never seems to deliver.
