He's a good player and he can have big impact in games, game-winning impact, but being the main man or one of the main men... It's a little too much. The fact that he's becoming such an important player for Arsenal is another evidence for the diminishing quality in the squad.

Everytime I open the Guardian, there's a story on Theo Walcott.
Walcott is mulling on a new contract, Walcott is open to moving abroad, Walcott wants to play in the middle, just fckn die you little cnut Note: no, the mods don't give a shit about a flippant remarks. He's not actually wishing harm on the player, you gimps - Brwned. |

Walcott is a very decent player, and because of his extreme pace he will always pose a threat, especially as a sub when players tire. With our somewhat limited number of wingers atm, I wouldn't mind him too much at United, if Nani were to leave, mind you. |

I can understand Arsenal fans being frustrated, but you have to look at it from his perspective also. Arsenal hasn't won anything in a few years and he isn't even playing regularly, so he might just want a different challenge. |

He doesn't actually want him to die, he's just making an exaggerated comment to show his disinterest in the Walcott media tossfest.

why not just let him concentrate on himself. If he wants to piss away a ten year career over calling someone a cunt then let him. He doesn't need you to tell him what the mods frown upon.Realistically, where is he likely to go that is above Arsenal? This is the thing I don't understand. Surely in his own mind he thinks he's king shit if he wants either more money or a contract at a relative big club. He's massively overrated. I call him 'Thoroughbred' Walcott. In this day and age I just don't get all this contract business. |

Cheap shot coming up here, but I love cheap shots so...
Walcott was sublime against Newcastle but if ever Wenger needed a counter-argument to the suggestion he has to be played up front this is it. I assume Walcott would rather not get as much media/fan attention from this performance, no "Just pay him the money, Arsene" headlines. He doesn't offer enough to his game to be a centre forward. |

Will certainly be games he lacks the physicality to play as a lone front man.
And you can't see Arsenal playing a front 2 too often. I can't stand their play, with Cazorla, Wilshere and Arteta always being about 10yards apart and doing the role of 2 between 3. |

Amusingly, he signed the contract and has now been shunted out to the right a little (if of a 4-3-3, and due largely to Giroud's good form).
Thought today he would have served the team a lot better if he had stayed on the right more especially in the first half - he kept wanting to join up with Giroud but it meant Arsenal didn't get at the Suarez/Johnson combo on the left and they really should have focused on that quite a bit. Noticed he stayed out a bit more in the second half. He crosses and finishes well. |
