The media will make it out like there's some mega exodus at Arsenal and that the Emirates is about to drop into a deep dark pit, but Walcott is pretty useless most of the time. I for one won't be shedding too many tears.
Make it LOOK like a mighty exodus?
Where have you been the past few years?

Sport_trend on twitter says we have spoken to dempseys representatives and will be having talks with fulham.
Also, mvila has rejected a move to spurs as he only wants to come to us and we are trying to negotiate a new fee.
City don't need him specifically. That's the point. He's not a first teamer there. Liverpool possibly. But it'd be a big deal for them. Probably only Gerrard and Suarez are on more than that.
The club's position on this is fair. Not going to bemoan the money we waste in one breath and demand Theo be pandered to in another. But it's another level of awkward timing. He is an important player and we've already ripped up the forward line once already. Selling him - even with a replacement or two - would be just unsettling things once more. But obviously remains to be seen what happens. Many of the reports suggest he's happy enough here so he could back down.
Apparently we're not interested in Dempsey anymore- and haven't been all summer, though it could all be smoke and mirrors to lower any fee.
I think we would be prepared to give Walcott a hefty wage, although, as said, I think only Gerrard, Carra (), Cole and with his new deal Suarez are on similar. Although we have slashed our wage bill a fair bit which would give a bit of leeway... although if City are interested we wouldn't stand a chance.
We did miss out on Sigurdsson though because we wouldn't match Spurs wage offer because Rodgers didn't think he was worth more.
