Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain v Theo Walcott

[Olivier's xmas twist]

And the third and most important reason, the re-sale value. We already know if the kid delivers on early promises he's not going to be an Arsenal player for very long.

Its ok he'll be injured for the next 2 seasons then no one will want him

Theo has put an end to this debate today.

Theo has put an end to this debate today.

And last week, and the week before that, and the last half decade really. Pointless player.

Theo Walcott: I know my displays haven't been good enough
Theo Walcott accepts he has been below par in recent weeks but insists there's no bigger critic of his performances than himself.
The Arsenal forward, who looked to be rediscovering his form in his side's dramatic 3-2 FA Cup fourth-round victory over Aston Villa yesterday, has been a target for frustrated fans.
He said: "I don't pay any attention to it. I just want to play my game and show people what I can do. I am the best judge of my performance, not anyone else.
"I wasn't happy with my last few games but, hopefully, now I can try to get back to a level I should be at. Everyone should realise I am a good judge of my character."
Walcott, whose goal was sandwiched by two Robin van Persie penalties as Arsenal recovered from 2-0 down at half-time, is desperate to win his first trophy.
The Gunners travel to either Sunderland or Middlesbrough on February 18 or 19 in the next round and the 22-year-old said: "I'd like to look back on my career at the trophies I have won. There are none yet.
"This is a competition that we can win. A couple of big teams have gone out and, if we can come from 2-0 down, hopefully we can beat anybody now."
Walcott revealed a half-time speech from captain Van Persie helped transform the mood in Arsenal's dressing room. "He's the captain and showed again how much he believes in this team and how much he wants to win this competition," said Walcott.

Walcott revealed a half-time speech from captain Van Persie helped transform the mood in Arsenal's dressing room. "He's the captain and showed again how much he believes in this team and how much he wants to win this competition," said Walcott.

RvP is the first proper captain we have had for some time - probably since Adams. All the others who have been made captain since Adams have not struck me as leader types. Henry and Gallas I don't think I would have ever considered making them captain. Cesc was promising but I think he was not hard enough to make the players follow. RvP does seem more of a tough player. When he goes to Barca If he leaves, I think Verm is the next natural captain with perhaps Wilshere as vice.

(btw who is vice atm? )
