Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[BOBN]

You people need to quit writing essays about Walcott.

Anybody with any sense knows hes our most feared and dangerous player. Guardiola, Messi and them werent thinking about anyone else when we played them.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reportedly been given the thumbs up to launch a January bid for Corinthians' Brazilian international forward Alexandre Pato.

The Gunners boss is still looking to add to his strike force after failing to sign any notable competition for Olivier Giroud, who has scored eight goals in 18 appearances this season, in the summer.

He was unsuccessful in his pursuit of Liverpool's Luis Suarez and the Reds are almost certain to refuse to sell the Uruguayan to a Premier League rival if they do decide to cash in on their star asset.

Wenger, therefore, has to explore other options and the Daily Express reports that he will return for another former transfer target, Pato, whom he tried to sign from AC Milan last January.

The 24-year-old opted to move back to his native land with Corinthians, who have suggested that they will allow Pato, who has scored 10 times in 27 international games, to leave either on loan or for a £10m fee.

Lets do it. If he comes off weve got a gem.

Theo's an odd player. He has gradually got less and less involved in the general play up to the point where he basically plays like a CF out wide - contributing nothing in the build up and putting 100% focus on making runs in behind. That's not necessarily a bad thing but it makes him more one dimensional and predictable. The best players can do both and Theo can't, he's useless with the ball at his feet which is probably why he's shifted to this new style.

His pace makes him dangerous in that role with the quality of creative midfielders that we have, even more so since he's added an end product to his game. He's also vital to our counterattacking (which is non-existent without him). But that says more about the lack of pace and of quality wide attackers in our squad than it does about Theo.

Since signing the new deal and speaking with Wenger, his role out wide has changed. I think he'd get way more shooting opportunities from the left because he's not comfortable going in on his left foot. Most teams that want goal scoring wingers player them on the 'wrong' side.

But he has to get involved with the build up play because that's probably what's stopping him from playing up front. Gervinho, Chamakh and Giroud aren't clinical strikers but have really good build up play and assist the team. I think Theo may be getting his focus wrong if he really wants to play as a striker.

Podolski is another odd one as well. Has long streaks of anonymous moments. It's a odd way to use wingers in a 4-3-3.

Various rags claiming we are "eyeing up" Torino and Italy winger Alessio Cerci before Jan transfer window slams open.

Could be direct replacement for Walcott ahead of his £90m cash plus Falcao move to Monaco.

No way are we selling Walcott.

Firstly, he's English and is useful as part of the homegrown criteria kicking in. Secondly, he's recently signed a new contract. If Wenger stood by Ramsey in his darkest days, there's absolutely no chance he'll sell someone like Walcott, who has impressive stats.

Move on.

Good arguments there, but weirder things have happened before.
