Walcott Next Out The Door?
ARSENE WENGER last night warned that Theo Walcott’s contract talks need a swift resolution.
Arsenal boss Wenger is certain the England winger, 23, who has a year left on his deal, will commit to the club before transfer D-Day. He said: “Talks continue and we will try to sort it out one way or the other. “We want to keep him but you need not only our desire. His desire is also right too but we need to find an agreement.” |

He's never really been suited to Arsenal's technical play IMO. That said, I'm not sure where he could go. Can't see any decent club coming in for him. Not unless he's happy to be sat on the bench anyway.

Nani possibly on his way out? Direct, cheaper replacement? Has an understanding with van the man, and it'd piss off Arsenal fans even more...
Never gonna happen, mind. |

Realistically I think he's only be a squad player at a club challenging for the title. Doesn't have the pure threat of a Nani nor the base quality/work rate of a Valencia. By all accounts he still has ambitions off being the central striker but I just can't see that role for him. Much like Hernandez I think strikers at the moment at the top clubs need a really good alround game that he doesn't have (yet). Still even as a squad player he'd get plenty of games at most clubs and could become a great impact player. In the pl, Chelsea could be good for him if he did leave Arsenal.

Newcastle or Spurs would both be good clubs for him. I think he's a good player and still has room for improvement. Don't see why City would be in for him, but it would give them a different option on the wing purely because of his pace.

Pep also famously played grand theft auto with Walcott declaring that “you would need a pistol to stop him.”

Always thought he performed well in Europe, but maybe that's due to a small sample of games I've seen.
The way I see it. We face annoyingly high lines all the time because we have no pace to get in behind defences. Makes it very easy to squeeze us out of the game, especially away from home. Just having Walcott in the team will either force defences to sit a bit deeper and give our creative players more space, or he'll get numerous opportunities at getting behind their defence. That's why we pursued Sinclair and are now looking at Walcott. |

People forget that he is only 23 years old. For the past 2 seasons he has managed 20+ goals and assists which is pretty decent for a player whom is highly underrated.
Compare that to Sinclair of the same age, who managed 30 (in the championship though and Walcott managed 25 that season in the prem) and last year only 12. Johnson who is 2 years older than both managed only 16 and 11 respectively. Tbh, with stats like that, Walcott is worth his 'inconsistency' as a squad player for a top team. He'd probably replicate those stats on a more 'consistent' basis for a lower side. I'd definitely take him if he was available to us. |

Imagine if we signed him and he turned out to be instant and consistent downgrade on Nani. We won't have to if we sign him.

Swap deals and cash plus player deals are always talked about in the media but do they ever fucking happen?
